Let's submit a conference paper to IC2S2!

a measure of distance. You could do this by picking the 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 highest co-occurrences edges in the unreduced network (I am now calling the number of co-occurrences d , for association depth); and the 50, 100, 500 and 1,000 highest number of connectors edges (I am now calling the number of connectors b , for association breadth); and compute a measure of distance (Jaccard coefficient seems an intuitive way to go, but Guy is the mathematician here) between the two

jaccard index : number of edges in common / (total number of edges considered - number of edges in common)
#cooccurrence max: 50 , #connectors max: 50 jaccard: 0.02040816326530612

#cooccurrence max: 1000 , #connectors max: 1000 jaccard: 0.07353730542136339

So both measures filter the graph in a very different way. Very few edges in common.

No sorry, no access. I sent you my gmail address via email.

[bpinaud]

@alberto

the nicest possible version of the figure below as discussed, with POPREBEL data.

Could you please remind me how you produced the figure?

[alberto]

• Draw a network
• Color map edges for cooccurrences
• Color map edges for num_connectors - different colour

[alberto]

@melancon and all, I managed to do this. Is is shared with your gmail account.

• Despite savage cutting, it is still 80 seconds too long.
• All images are missing.
• Not sure whether it holds water in general.

Do you mind giving it a listen and seeing if it passes muster? If so, then the work is to cut 80 more seconds and add the images.

Waving from the Azores islands!

[alberto]

Guys, I received info from IC2S2. There are four things to do:

• upload the video (@melancon, any news?)
• add to the extended abstract our names, and upload that too. Extended abstracts go in the conference brochure.
• write a 50 words short abstract and upload that too.
• mark your availability for Q&A.

Can I ask you to take care of all that? I will be passing on my EasyChair login data to Guy and @bpinaud via private message.

Below the email I received:

Dear Alberto Cottica,

Once again, thank you for being part of IC2S2 2021!

With this email we wish to send you some information regarding your presentation, including formatting and uploading your video.

PRESENTATION
You have until July 2 to update your submission title, short abstract (50 words max), extended abstract (2 pages max), and presentation video (12min +/- 1min). Note that the videos should be 16:9 in HD if possible.

Updating your submission, including uploading your video, is done via Easychair and by choosing “Update information“ and “Add or update files”. Under “Update information”, you can also indicate your availability for the live Q&A. Please make sure at least one author is available for the live Q&A after the presentation of your paper.

The short abstract will be shown in the program of the online conference system and the extended abstract will be part of the conference booklet. The videos will be available to all participants throughout the conference.

REGISTRATION
For both papers and posters, at least one author must register by July 2. Note that the early rate applies only until June 21.

Paper presentations without videos, poster presentations without posters, and papers or posters without registered authors will be removed from the program after July 2.

PROGRAM
We will send a separate email containing information about the program and session assignments.

Thank you for submitting your work to IC2S2 2021. We are very much looking forward to meeting you (virtually) at the conference!

[bpinaud]

Hello,
Do not worry. It will be done.
About easychair, we do not need your easychair credentials. I have the paper on my account and I can upload the required documents.
Will you register for the conference? I will not be available.

Best,
Bruno

[alberto]

@bpinaud

Will you register for the conference? I will not be available.

Yes, I will. And thanks!

[bpinaud]

Working on the extended abstract. Author names and affiliations take lots of space. I rework the document and the text a bit but their awful style does not help.

[alberto]

I would not bother, Bruno. Just add the names, I don’t think the two-page limit applies again.

[bpinaud]

It applies. Easychair is configured to accept only 2-page long pdf

[bpinaud]

Simmelian backbones and its ref removed from the paper. I did not find another way of reducing to two pages.

[bpinaud]

On easychair, we have to check the availability for the Q&A session:
early: 10:00 or 11:30 Zurich local time (UTC+2)
late: 20:00 or 21:30 Zurich local time (UTC+2)

Which is yours @alberto?

[alberto]

@bpinaud

Which is yours @alberto?

Early!

[marina]

@alberto

upload the video (@melancon, any news?)

@melancon just a small note: a disclaimer should be added somewhere mentioning POPREBEL project:

POPREBEL – Populist rebellion against modernity in 21st-century Eastern Europe: neo-traditionalism and neo-feudalism

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 822682.

Usually, to this the EU flag (emblem) is added.

[melancon]

@marina

@melancon just a small note: a disclaimer should be added somewhere mentioning POPREBEL project:

Copy that. Thanks for warning me.

I have viewed Alberto’s video. He cleverly designed it with a number of pause (marked using fade out/in transition to white). This will help to edit it. For some sub-sequences, I might reuse the audio, trash the video showing Alberto and replace it with images or diagrams.

We have a working session tomorrow with @bpinaud where we’ll focus on producing the video.

[alberto]

@melancon

For some sub-sequences, I might reuse the audio, trash the video showing Alberto and replace it with images or diagrams.

Yes, that was exactly the idea.

[bpinaud]

@alberto
currently working with Guy. I need a full access to the gdrive with the video. Guy cannot do that. Please use my gmail address.

[alberto]

Done, I think.

[bpinaud]

Perfect. Thanks.
