Talk on "Signal detection of adverse drug reactions: The Bayesian Power generalised Weibull Shape Parameter test"
Julia Dyck from Bielefeld University will give a talk on "Signal detection of adverse drug reactions: The Bayesian Power generalised Weibull Shape Parameter test" as part of the ZeSt Colloquium on Tuesday, 23 April 2024. The talk starts at 12 midday in room W9-109.
Computational Social Science Workshop
Computational Social Science (CSS) is the topic of a two-day workshop organised by the Working Group on Applied Social Data Science (Kühne) at the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University(ZiF). CSS has established itself as an independent field of research. It examines sociological, political and economic research questions that are often based on large, unstructured amounts of data. Computational methods are used. On 6 and 7 May, the workshop will offer CSS researchers from all over Germany the opportunity to network, exchange experiences and discuss the latest developments. The workshop will focus on the integration of innovative methods and data with social science theory in order to improve the quality and relevance of current CSS research and to contribute to scientific and societal debates. More information on the programme and registration is available at computational-social-science.org.
[Weiterlesen]Second edition "Woche der Forschungskompetenzen"
In March, Bielefeld University will host the second "Woche der Forschungskompetenzen". Organised by the Competence Centre for Research Data (a cooperation between Bielefeld University Library and BITS) and the Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence (IKG), the week from 4 to 8 March is dedicated to skills that are currently given less attention in university curricula. Topics include rights to texts and data, privacy and ethics, and scholarly publishing. The week's lectures, most of which will be held in German, are aimed at all empirical researchers at Bielefeld University, but especially at "young academics".
Open Science in summer term 2024
The seminar "Open Minds for Open Science - An Interdisciplinary Introduction to Open Science" will take place again in the coming summer term 2024. Open Science is becoming more and more important as an interdisciplinary topic, even at the undergraduate level. More and more, Open Science is also in the focus of politics and is politically desired. The seminar is addressed to all students who are interested in Open Science and aspire to a scientific career.

Talk on "Heeding the Call of Science: What Leads PhD Graduates to Pursue an Academic Career?"
Dr Joachim Schnurbus from the Department of Computational Statistics and Mathematics at the University of Passau will give a lecture on 7 November via Zoom on the topic "Heeding the Call of Science: What Leads PhD Graduates to Pursue an Academic Career?".

Talk on "Mitigating consequences of the Markov property" - ZeSt Colloquium
As part of the ZeSt Colloquium, Jan-Ole Koslik from Bielefeld University will give a talk on "Mitigating consequences of the Markov property". The talk will take place on Tuesday 24th October from 12:00 to 13:00 in room W9-109. In his talk, Jan-Ole Koslik will examine whether the common criticism of so-called hidden Markov models, that they represent real processes too simply, also applies to more complex inhomogeneous models. For this purpose, important properties of inhomogeneous Markov chains will be derived.
Talk on gender stereotypes on Instagram
Prof. Dr. Simon Kühne from the Faculty of Sociology at Bielefeld University will give a talk on gender stereotypes on Instagram on 27 June. In room W9-109 at Bielefeld University, he will talk about social media as a source of behavioural data and the extent to which images on Instagram can provide an insightful perspective as an alternative to textual data. The talk, which is part of the ZeSt Colloquium, will focus on a case study that uses social media images, particularly self-portraits, as a tool to explore gender roles, representation and stereotypes.
SDS supports the Euro PhD School Data Science Meets OCombinatorial ptimisation
SDS supports the Euro PhD School Data Science Meets Combinatorial Optimisation With the support of the Scientific Data Service, the Euro PhD School Data Science Meets Combinatorial Optimisation will take place at the University Bielefeld from the 4th to the 8th of September. The Euro PhD School is concerned with algorithms for combinatorial optimisation, which in various ways have aspects of data science, as well as combinatorial optimisation problems. Each day will focus on a current topic, which will be explored in depth by lecturers, supported by post-docs, through theory, lectures and exercises. The programme oft the PhD School also includes an invited lecture by Alexander von Humboldt Professor Yachou Jin. Applications and registrations are possible until 31 July via the PhD School website.
Talk on Modified Nonlinear Least Squares Estimation and Inference - ZeSt Colloquium
Karsten Reichold from the Department of Statistics at the Technical University of Dortmund will give a talk on "Smooth Transition Cointegrating Regressions: Modified Nonlinear Least Squares Estimation and Inference" at the ZeSt Colloquium. The talk will take place on Tuesday, 13 June 2023 from 12:00 to 13:00 at the University of Bielefeld, room W9-109.
Talk on quantifying the labelling uncertainty for machine learning models - ZeSt Colloquium
As part of the ZeSt Colloquium Prof. Dr. Göran Kauermann from the Institute of Statistics at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich will give his guest lecture "Categorizing the World into Local Climate Zones - Towards Quantifying Labeling Uncertainty for Machine Learning Models" at the University of Bielefeld on Tuesday, 30th of May. He will give an insight into the work on modelling labelling uncertainty in the context of remote sensing and satellite image classification. The talk will be focused on the construction of a multinomial mixed model based on the assumption that there is no ambiguity in the image classes, but apparently only in the experts' opinions about them.
