Fariba Karimi, Computational Social Science at Complexity Science Hub, will be presenting "Network Structure Influences Visibility and Ranking of Minorities" 

Restricting their ability to establish connections with majority groups 
or to access novel information. In this talk, I show how this phenomenon 
is manifested in a variety of online and face-to-face social networks 
and what societal consequences it has on the visibility and ranking of 
minorities. I propose a network model with tunable homophily and group 
sizes and demonstrate how the ranking of nodes is affected by homophilic 
behavior. I will discuss the implications of this research on algorithms 
and perception biases.

Tuesday, April 13 at 1:15pm ET with the Duke Computational Social Science working group.
