Proud to announce that our book is out: "Social Simulation for a Crisis: Results and Lessons from Simulating the COVID-19 Crisis" editor @frankdignum, publisher @SpringerNature #simulation #agentsimulation #AI #responsibleAI #CoronaPandemic #CoronaCrisis link.springer.com/search?query=9…

Congratulations to @AminehGhorbani on her promotion to associate professor!!👏👏👏

A new day packed with tutorials: AI for policy, neural networks, ethics, robot learning, argumentation, narrative frameworks In the photo @frankdignum discussing human behaviour models in social simulation for policy #acai2021 #AI #responsibleAI #MachineLearning #Robotics

The book does not just publish results from our simulations, but also gives an extensive background of the models used, a chapter on validation of the simulations and also lessons learned from the whole project. #simulation #coronacrisis #agentsimulation #ABM #AI #responsibleAI

The simulation tool that is being developed at Umeå University to help decision-makers in their actions to prevent the spread of corona now shows excellent results. @frankdignum @assocc1 #artificialintelligence #AI #covid19

ASSOCC's work made national news in Sweden. @tv4 @Nyheterna evening news 23 April: tv4play.se/program/nyhete… #AI #responsibleAI #socialsimulation #agentbasedsimulation #ABM @frankdignum

One year ago we joined Twitter! Since then @assocc1 has generated many insights into the #CoronaCrisis, several papers, workshops, and our book "Social Simulation for Crises" is coming up soon, published by @SpringerNature #agentbasedmodel #simulation #AI #MyTwitterAnniversary

@Patrick_M_Econ @EuroSocSim All sessions have been recorded and will be available through ESSA

@assocc1 @EuroSocSim Did you record the session? I unfortunately could not make it due to childcare obligations.

Join the @assocc1 session at SocSimFesT2021: simassocc.org/assocc-at-socs… @EuroSocSim #socialsimulation #ABM

Join this week's #frAIday: Cezara Pastrav on "Agent models in Unity – reaching outside academia" reporting on the @assocc1 project on #coronacrisis simulation. To register for this and coming #frAIday seminars: bit.ly/frAIday

Check out our new video of the Unity interface to the @assocc1 simulation tool: youtube.com/watch?v=BhR0jz… The tool can be downloaded from our webpage: simassocc.org #CoronaCrisis #COVIDー19

@ccansu @vdignum @AllisonCGardner That is the point of the article, read it. People are not using track and trace apps.

@vdignum @AllisonCGardner @assocc1 There was also no evidence that vaccines are effective before enough people started using them....

SELECTED DEATHS vs COVID-19 #Sweden @assocc1 worldlifeexpectancy.com/selected-death…

@vdignum @wooldridgemike @assocc1 It’s not the software that was the actual problem, but the effect of control measures on the reproduction number - a parameter model. It dropped faster than anticipated (and I know why). But I agree, that software for bug decisions must follow high standards and opneness.

New logo! (Thanks to Kurt Kreulen)

@Dani_L97 @cesagar You are right. We do now in the newest version

@assocc1 @cesagar You don't take into account the transportation between different places. That is import in the spread of the virus.

Our article on "Analysing the Combined Health, Social and Economic Impacts of the Corovanvirus Pandemic Using Agent-Based Social Simulation", published in Minds and Machines, is now online link.springer.com/article/10.100… #responsibleAI #Covid_19 #coronavirus #socialsimulation #abms

@bgmgenc @vdignum @SGInnovate @UmeaUniversity Is tha so? I was not aware of it. The people in Singapore are handling the registration. @SGInnovate can you please check the conditions for registration?

@vdignum @SGInnovate @assocc1 @UmeaUniversity That is very interesting! It is a pity that you have to accept to receive marketing communication to be able to register, though.

SCOOP: Google has drastically rolled back its diversity work due to fears of being perceived as anti-conservative. Sources say employees have been pushed out, programs cut, and workers have been discouraged from even using the word diversity anymore nbcnews.com/news/us-news/c…

I like the ‘accurate but misleading’ - many performance metrics in ML signal misleading accuracy, let’s unpack this terminology further
