An important part of the SCS specialisation is the internship period. Students will get the opportunity to get to know the field and to apply what they have learned during the courses.

In this special edition of Information Polity there is a focus on the transparency challenges of using algorithms in government in decision-making procedures at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels.

Quantum Information Science & Technology (QIST) encompasses the understanding, design, construction and investigation of quantum information processing systems, such as quantum computers, quantum communication networks, and quantum sensors.

Op 4 september promoveert Elisabeth J. Kerr. Het Leiden University Centre for Linguistics feliciteert Elisabeth!

Combinatorial games are games for two competing players, moving in a turn-by-turn fashion, in which there is no chance nor hidden information⁠. Chess, checkers and the simpler tic tac toe are well-known examples of this class of games, as well as game of go⁠.

Systems with local constraints is a new finding in recent researches on complex systems. The heterogeneous spatial interactions and the temporal dependencies among those numerous units make it difficult to describe by traditional statistical physics.

Aim: To develop and enable application of a practical, flexible, user-friendly platform to provide the scientific community with a tool to generate land surface products and its associated uncertainties and exploit these for data-intensive science.

With the emergence of online social networks (OSNs), the way people create and share information has changed, which becomes faster and broader than traditional social media.

The four possible segments A, T, C and G that link together to form DNA molecules, and with their ordering encode genetic information, are not only different in name, but also in their physical and chemical properties.

This thesis develops statistical methods for the analysis of high dimensional data: high dimensional networks reconstruction (Chapters 1-4), incorporation of prior information in networks reconstruction (Chapters 2-4), incorporation of prior knowledge in genetic association studies (Chapter 3).

Laatste technologische ontwikkelingen op het gebied van datamining en profilering.

In dit artikel wordt het concept van probleemprioritering binnen de context van bestuurskundig onderzoek verkend.

Op 20 maart 2019 verdedigde Tim Dekkers zijn proefschrift 'Mobility, Control and Technology in Border Areas: Discretion and Decision-making in the Information Age'. Het promotieonderzoek is begeleid door promotoren prof. dr. J.P. van der Leun en prof. dr. M.A.H. van der Woude.

Promotores: W.T. de Groot, M. Tchuenté, Co-promotor: J.P. Cheylan

This study has been carried out in the community of Sukamiskin, a kelurahan (‘village’) in Bandung, the Capital of West Java Province, located in the Sunda Region of Indonesia.

In the traditional theory of linear elasticity, superposition dictates that the response of a material does not depend on the sequence of the applied mechanical actuations.

Announcement of a new publication by Janneke Verheijen, lecturer at the Institute of Cultural Anthropology and Development Sociology.

Promovenda Gineke Wiggers heeft de 2e prijs gewonnen voor haar paper over User-Focused Ranking in Legal Information Retrieval in het PhD consortium van de 31e International Conference on Legal Knowledge and Information Systems (JURIX).

Studievoorlichting

DNA carries various forms of information. Out of these forms of information the most well-known is classical genetic information.

Humans perceive the real world through their sensory organs: vision, taste, hearing, smell, and touch. In terms of information, we consider these different modesalso referred to as different channels of information or modals.

Promotor: Prof.dr. C.W.J. Beenakker

Can we develop a platform for raw materials intelligence?

The ReCiPe methodology for Life Cycle Impact Assessment (LCIA).

The elementary excitations of magnets are called spin waves, and their corresponding quasi-particles are known as magnons. The rapidly growing field of Magnonics aims at using them as information carriers in a new generation of electronic devices, (almost) free of electric currents.
