Thanks
Good. Thanks for helping. You have a talent it would take me yet another life to learn

Hey
Funny, I always say the same of you.
enrolling
hi alberto!
Can I facilitate even if I must leave at 1 pm?
Yes
I see your role as helping to shape questions, i.e. map the methodology we’ll be working with onto care in general and OpenCare in particular.
all right
I’m in
So…
… please click on the “Attend” button. While you are at it, please do the same on the LOTE5 event here. @Rossana_Torri, can you do it too please? I will explain better the rationale for this when we meet in Brussels.
Ok
I did it for the LOTE event.
Unfortunatly I have to fly back to Milan on Friday evening…
Lucia will stay for MoN till Sat morning.
“Yes, but what will we DO?”
@melancon, my friend: our text is clear and nicely written, but it is not a work program. I added a tentative agenda section. Please look it up and see if you think it makes sense. If it does, assign yourself as the coordinator of a challenge… or maybe let’s decide to do only one challenge, so we can hack together!
I kind of like the idea of the quality challenge.
Input from all participants welcome! @MoE @dora @Betty_Gorf @jimmytidey (Jimmy, are you coming?)
Need a hand
I was about to edit the text of the event, but I thought I should double-check – I admit I have but no experience in organizing things the way it takes place on edgeryders.eu
Certainly!
Coordinator for interpretation challenge
@Noemi, I deliberately put you as coordinator for the interpretation – without asking you first whether you would like to, or even be available! I only did it based on your past experience of previous MoNs. I know you would do a marvelous job.
Guy
Flattered but…
Thanks @melancon. The only issue I see is that I have to moderate the European Capitals panel Saturday starting 2PM.
I would also recommend @Hazem for the job, as he is joining us for Lote, has been doing previous work with Edgesense and knows the ER network well enough.
How about teaming up
Thanks @Noemi
How about teaming up with @Hazem in the morning and then leaving (the most fabulous) MoN4 to join your afternoon session?
@Hazem, please let me know whether this suits you.
Guy
count me in
sure will be there.
Good
@Hazem So you are now officially coordinating the interpretation challenge!
Looking forward to meet you at LOTE5.
Guy
Network newbie with graphic and statistics background
I am relatively new to networks, but i’m working on a serious project with networks and i have a background in graphic design and in statistics. I can program in R but won’t be able to bring a laptop.
I am particularly interested in the visualisation challenge and looking forward at meeting you all!
Grrrrreat!
@RossellaB Do not forget we all were newbies at some point, and will probably remain newbies on so many topics till the end. I am real happy to count you in.
Looking forward to code in your company
Guy
Thanks Guy! That is certainly true.
Question about Detangler
I was having a look at Detangler and I don’t understand what the coordinates x and y stand for. I can see scatter plots and bar plots but I don’t know what they tell about the network. Can someone help me out?
It’s all in the interaction
Hi @RossellaB, good to see you are playing with Detangler.
First thing you need to know is that nodes on the left panel (substrates) are the main focus. Those substrates relate to one another through nodes on the right panel (catalysts). Catalysts are the “reasons” why substrates relate to one another. In the demo example, people get connected because they co-participate to political lodges (you may have recognized names from the so-called Paul Revere night ride from the American revolution). The quest is to try to figure out, for instance, who was in a position to reach all of those guys pretty quickly (in order to organize a mutiny before the British authority could counterfeit them).
The x, y position of nodes is decided in the following way: nodes on the right panel are displayed using a force-directed layout (ask me if you have no idea what that is). There is no absolute meaning in the x or y value, nodes are just positioned so as to have a readable display. Nodes on the left panel are positionned according to how they relate to nodes in the right panel. The layout attemps at mimicking the layout on the left, substrates are positionned “around” the catalysts to which they correspond (although catalysts are not embedded in the panel. The reason is to make the selection more natural: when you select substrates at the top in the left panel, you may expect the corresponding catalysts to be located at the top in the right panel.
The main feature is the easy selection of substrates or catalyst using the lasso.
We’ll be using Detangler with substrates=people and catalysts=topics, for instance.
Enjoy!
