‼️Hear me out: What if, we use AI as psychologist to analyze humanity?…Oh right, it will just say we are momma boys (patriarchy) with serious inferiority complex (populism/fascism) and narcissistic, egoistic assholes (capitalism). Gee whiz, how hard can it be to just fucking fix this world? 🌎 ❤️

Come and work with us (the Kokkonuts) as a postdoc! Our research within (theory-evo-eco) is broad; let's say it's implicitly defined by the journal club papers we read. Which is why the application process includes a JC-related task, I hope it'll be a fun one for you! www.evoldir.net/brian/evoldi...

New paper! We propose a framework to empirically study animal social relationships by modelling social network (SN) data as time-series—that is, without the need to aggregate them over time. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

Each dyad (a, b) moves through four discrete states over time, represented by coloured circles. The dyad remains in a given state for a certain duration, or "holding time", before transitioning to a new state according to state-specific transition probabilities, indicated by arrows showing all possible (non-zero) transitions.
