Fixing Over-Connectivity
18 Mar 19 /

The functioning of many socio-technical systems depends on the ability of its subcomponents or nodes to communicate or interact via its connections, but high connectivity may imply problems. By removing or deactivating a specific set of nodes, a network structure can be dismantled into isolated subcomponents, thereby disrupting the (mal)functioning of a system or containing the spread of misinformation or an epidemic.

Using Machine Learning (Topic Modeling) to Define Product & Geographic Markets: a TNA experience in Pisa

By Stephen Bruestle, PhD. (Economics)

Host: SoBigData.IT - KDD Lab, ISTI-CNR, Pisa, Italy

Most economists do not use clustering. We like to identify a small, fixed number of parameters. And, clustering has many parameters.

Economics will have to change to stay relevant. Developments in data and data science make clustering more practical. Businesses are relying more on clustering. Economists should do the same.

My idea is simple. I will use clustering to solve an economics problem. Specifically, I will use clustering to define markets.
