Information content of note transitions in the music of J. S. Bach
Suman Kulkarni, Sophia U. David, Christopher W. Lynn +1
Music has a complex structure that expresses emotion and conveys information. Humans process that information through imperfect cognitive instruments that produce a gestalt, smeare…
Citation inequity and gendered citation practices in contemporary physics
Erin G. Teich, Jason Z. Kim, Christopher W. Lynn +8
The historical and contemporary under-attribution of women's contributions to scientific scholarship is well-known and well-studied, with effects that are felt today in myriad ways…
Optimizing the Human Learnability of Abstract Network Representations
William Qian, Christopher W. Lynn, Andrei A. Klishin +3
Precisely how humans process relational patterns of information in knowledge, language, music, and society is not well understood. Prior work in the field of statistical learning h…
Compressibility of complex networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Danielle S. Bassett
Many complex networks depend upon biological entities for their preservation. Such entities, from human cognition to evolution, must first encode and then replicate those networks…
How humans learn and represent networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Danielle S. Bassett
Humans communicate, receive, and store information using sequences of items -- from words in a sentence or notes in music to abstract concepts in lectures and books. The networks f…
Human information processing in complex networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Lia Papadopoulos, Ari E. Kahn +1
Humans communicate using systems of interconnected stimuli or concepts -- from language and music to literature and science -- yet it remains unclear how, if at all, the structure…
Maximizing Activity in Ising Networks via the TAP Approximation
Christopher W. Lynn, Daniel D. Lee
A wide array of complex biological, social, and physical systems have recently been shown to be quantitatively described by Ising models, which lie at the intersection of statistic…
Surges of collective human activity emerge from simple pairwise correlations
Christopher W. Lynn, Lia Papadopoulos, Daniel D. Lee +1
Human populations exhibit complex behaviors---characterized by long-range correlations and surges in activity---across a range of social, political, and technological contexts. Yet…
