Networks, Crowds and Markets Undergraduate Seminar in Computer Science Prof. Ronitt Rubinfeld
Connections Taken from http://thenextweb.com/socialmedia/2013/11/24/facebook-grandparents-need-next-gen-social-network/
Networks Social networks Connections are friendship , know each other , family A question: How important is geography? Financial networks Connections are bank1 took a loan from bank2 A question: How susceptible to disruptions, cascading failures, financial crises? Information networks Connections are readership, web links A question: How reliable?
How to represent a network? Graph theory: Nodes are entities Edges are connections Know one another Network connection Loan from each other Friendship Can communicate people computers banks Facebook pages Wireless routers
Some boring details Text is Easley and Kleinberg Networks, Crowds and Markets Talk should be about 45 min Give a practice talk privately for me on Sunday before (this should not be your first practice talk!) Will focus on social and information network analysis Less on game theory, markets and auctions
Giving a talk Main question: are we awake? Good material Delivery: Can we follow? Monotone voice Impossible to read slides Slides organization Use bullets How to use vullets? Must write anything you want them to remember Ok to rfepeat a definition on board or on slide At least 24 point font Practice the talk at least 2-3 times
