• Worked on getting the spreadsheet of conferences, journals and grant started
• Continuing Opinion Dynamics With Decaying Confidence: Application to Community Detection in Graphs. Details here.
  • When δ increases, the communities become smaller but more densely connected.
  • It should be very interesting to look at belief velocity at different scales.
• A Plethora of Data Set Repositories
• More NMF. Getting closer
• Installing Python on the laptop for discussion with Don
• Got everything working in java! Need to move the dot product code into Labeled2DMatrix and flesh out the other cases.

• Meeting with Don.
  • Looked through the modelling and UTOPIAN papers, and walked through some of the math. We’ll meet next Friday to try to convert some of the equations into java code
• Meeting with Shimei
  • There are ways of getting better stability with LDA. Still ok to do NMF, though there may be issues with scaling. That’s where a stable version of LDA might make sense.
