Two new NERDS papers: Algorithmic bias, street network simplification
nerds.itu.dk/2025/11/03/t...
Small multiples plot of different street networks simplified with various algorithms Left: Edge activations for the set of influencers identified by CHD. Edges are colored and sized according to how often they are activated during simulations. Nodes colored black are seed nodes. Right: Edge activations for one of the fairer seed sets identified by our algorithm.

It was great to have Paul Smaldino @psmaldino.bsky.social with us today, discussing evolutionary approaches to human culture and society. As a bonus, we learned why we are wearing pants.

New NERDS publication on hitting the music charts
nerds.itu.dk/2025/09/04/n...
Changes in songs’ lifetimes. A The average (blue), median (orange), and the 20th percentile (green) of the lifespans of all songs over time. The dashed lines indicate some of music history’s most important technology launches. All three summary statistics increased until the 2000s and then started to drop. The median and the 20th percentile have fallen below 5, achieving the lowest values in the chart’s history. The drop in the last 2 years can be partially affected by the songs that have just entered the chart since their lifetimes are yet to be established.

Visualization of the structure of the recruiters’ search logs. Each task corresponds to a single search session from inspecting the job posting until having contacted the required number of candidates. A session can consist of multiple queries, all of which are logged with their associated events, such as source selection and interaction actions.
