AKSOE: Physik sozio-ökonomischer Systeme

AKSOE 6: Sondersitzung: Verleihung des Young-Scientist-Award for Socio- and Econophysics

AKSOE 6.1: Invited Talk

Tuesday, March 9, 2004, 16:00–17:00, H10

The Dynamics of Information — •Bernardo Huberman — hp labs, palo alto, ca 94304

The dynamics of information within social organizations is relevant to issues of productivity, innovation and the sorting out of useful ideas from the general chatter of a community. How information spreads and is aggregated determines the speed with which individuals and organizations can act and plan their future activities.

This talk will describe new mechanisms for automatically identifying communities of practice within organizations and for elucidating the spread of information spreads within those communities. In addition, a new method for forecasting uncertain events using small groups of people will be presented, along with empirical results that show its efficacy at making predictions in the laboratory and in the real world.
