Participants of our Research Group at Sunbelt'18
Members of our Research Group presented their projects at Sunbelt 2018 conference which was held in Utrecht, the Netherlands from June 26 to July 1. It is a leading conference devoted to Social Network Analysis which started its history in 1981. This year, it was attended by more than 600 people who are interested in the implementation of SNA in the diverse scientific fields such as sociology, mathematics, anthropology, epidemiology, etc.
First seminar of Research Group "Machine Learning and Social Computing": trajectories of development and research of online games
On January 21 the first adjusting seminar of Research Group "Machine Learning and Social Computing" took a place. Current plans and the main ideas about future work were discussed; design and some results of researches on social algorithms in online games and eSports were presented.
