We are hiring multiple #PhD and #postdoc researchers for two newly funded projects related to the interaction of mental health and political polarization. The positions are in the Department of Computer Science at Aalto University in Finland. You will be joining a larger group of researchers working on similar topics. The department has a strong community of researchers working on related topics, including digital health and welbeing, network science, computational social science, and many topics in machine learning.

74% of MPI postdocs are international (immigrants).

Only about 25% of those international postdocs are certain they want to stay in Germany after their postdoc ends. Many cite family reasons, better opportunities abroad, or language barriers as factors.

🎞 State-Space Compression, Coarse-Graining, and the Averaging of Life and Mind

Simon DeDeo

Abstract
Renormalization is a principled coarse-graining of space-time. It shows us how the small-scale details of a system may become irrelevant when looking at larger scales and lower energies. Coarse-graining is also crucial, however, for biological and cultural systems that lack a natural spatial arrangement. I introduce the notion of coarse-graining and equivalence classes, and give a brief history of attempts to tame the problem of simplifying and "averaging" things as various as algorithms and languages. I then present state-space compression, a new framework for understanding the general problem. At the end, I present recent empirical results, in an animal social system, that show evidence for the coupling of scales: the reaction of coarse-grained facts about a system "downwards" to influence the microphysics.
