SFI
Thursday, March 28, 2013 • 12:15 p.m. • Collins Conference Room
Aaron Clauset, University of Colorado, Boulder; SFI External Professor will present the seminar, Structural Determinants of Scoring Dynamics and Outcomes in Team Competitions.
Abstract: The outcomes of many team-based competitions are determined by the steady accumulation of minor interactions over time.
Yet we lack a general understanding of their fundamental dynamics and how those dynamics are shaped by a competition’s structure.
We introduce a novel generative model that can directly quantify a competition’s Read More
