Graph neural networks are intimately related to partial differential equations governing information diffusion on graphs. Thinking of GNNs as PDEs leads to a new broad class of graph ML methods.
Going to a conference is always an excitement and fun: one can connect with like-minded individuals and exchange stimulating ideas. However, in order to make the most out of a conference, a lot of hard work is needed before, during and after the meeting. This blog post provides a checklist of things to do before,…
Speakers hesitate or make brief pauses filled with sounds like 'uh' or 'uhm' mostly before nouns. Such slow-down effects are far less frequent before verbs, as researchers working together with an international team have now discovered by looking at examples from different languages.
Today I successfully submitted my first paper to arXiv! We've submitted this paper to a journal, but it hasn't been published yet, so we wanted to get a pre-print up before advertising the corresponding software packages. Unfortunately, the process of submitting to arXiv wasn't painless. Now that I've figured out some of the quirks, however, hopefully your…
Our bodies are biologically based and therefore are not equipped to communicate with electronics efficiently. New research could make it possible to genetically engineer our cells to be able to communicate with electronics. The development has the potential to allow us to eventually build apps that autonomously detect and treat disease.
As researchers, we spend years of our life building our research. But then when it comes to research writing, many of us still struggle. Research communication is more than aggregating results and…
I’m a Wikimedian, based in Sydney. I am a project officer for ARC Centre for Creative Industries and Innovation (CCi) working on helping Australian cultural organisations use Creative Commons. I’m also the 2012 Director’s Fellow at the National Museum of Australia. My username everywhere is “Wittylama” - an anagram. I speak French and Swedish, have a bachelors in Globalisation Studies and one highly prized university medal. Currently studying for a Masters in IP law from QUT/WIPO.
"Für den Doktoranden der mittelalterlichen Geschichte Michael Schonhardt erweist sich die semioffizielle Wissenschaftskommunikation über Social Media als fruchtbar. So können schon kleine Funde aus dem laufenden Forschungsprozess von Jedermann veröffentlicht werden. Darin sieht der Mediävist eine Parallele zur Kommunikationsstruktur der frühen Geschichtswissenschaft."
Writing a mathematical paper is both an act of recording mathematical content and a means of communication of one's work. In contrast with other types of writing, the style of math papers is incredibly rigid and resistant to even modest innovation. As a result, both goals suffer, sometimes immeasurably. The clarity suffers the most, which…
Disequilibrium -- surprises, failures, jokes, and disorientations -- will always happen. Taking that opportunity to move away from a local maximum towards a global maximum is up to me.
Maintaining a blog can be a boon to your career, increasing your profile in the scientific community, connecting you to collaborators, and helping you land new grants or jobs.
Education that includes at least some online work is more effective than classroom-only teaching, according to a major research review done for the Department of Education.
