Who thought a blank canvas to fill with pixels could attract millions of Redditers! And #r/place happens to give fantastic data on a complex large-scale human system. We manage to predict #transitions with #ML, then interpret the warnings for human-readable signals of socially-driven transitions!

Interpretable Early Warnings using Machine Learning in an Online Game-experiment

Stemming from physics and later applied to other fields such as ecology, the theory of critical transitions suggests that some regime shifts are preceded by statistical early warning signals. Reddit's...

Les temps sont durs, la santé est impactée et je ressens le besoin de me protéger de l'actu. Mais on va tenter de relancer une ligne Russie plus pertinente sur ce compte. Avec notamment un retour sur le terrain très bientôt! Mais, peut-être la fin de mon visa en Russie fin décembre...
