7:00 – 6:30ASRC GEOS

• Working more on NK Models. I have the original paper – Towards a general theory of adaptive walks on rugged landscapes, and I’ve pulled out my copy of The Origins of Order
  • Determine if I have the evaluation function right
  • Add mutation
  • Draw the networks
  • Draw an N/K/Fitness landscape?
  • As an aside, I think that an NK model can be modified to use backpropagation rather than mutation. That could be interesting.
  • Ok, here’s everything working the way I think it should work, but I’m not sure it’s right….

• Need to get back to Antonio about authorship and roles. I think that it makes sense if he can get a sense of what – done
• Discovered the trumptwitterarchive, which is downloadable. Would like to build a network of the retweets and tagging by sentiment, gender and race.
• Code review with Chris. Unfortunately, it was more like an interrogation than a tour. My sense is that he was expecting us to ask questions and we were expecting a presentation.
  • It went ok, but the audio connection was terrible
