AAMAS Conference in Auckland
Together with Farnoud Ghasemi we introduce the agent based model that captures highly non-linear and microscopic phenomena, the first out there to reproduce the actually observed platform growth patterns. We present it today at #AAMAS conference in Auckland. Full paper available here

Anastasia & Onur at ICLR2024
Anastasia and Onur during their first conference since they joined COeXISTENCE team! At ICLR 2024 they both had an opportunity to update knowledge on the learning representations and hold discussions with not only academic staff and industrial researchers, but also other students. I am confident that the experience gained this year will bring benefits. Just look at these happy faces!

Online meeting with Gunnar Flรถtterรถd
Today our #COeXISTENCE lab met with prof. Gunnar Flรถtterรถd from Linkรถping University. We presented our thought on the traffic equilibria, surprisingly a lot of open research questions in this classical problem, specifically in the context of #CAV - great opportunity.

Lecture at Auditorium Maximum
๐ Complex social systems simulations โ human behavior modeling, lecture on Friday at Auditorium Maximum- I will be talking about how challenging is introducing the human factor into models and simulations considering humans have their unpredictability and free will what makes simulations more complex. The main question is how do we incorporate these aspects into modeling. Together with the audience I will go on a journey through various examples, from road traffic to pedestrian traffic simulations, presenting how human decisions can shape social phenomena. Finally, I will show how to use artificial intelligence in simulations where people compete for limited resources with intelligent machines ๐ค.

Faculty Day
Young blood at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science during the 16th edition of the Faculty Day! So many inspiring lectures, fruitful discussions and workshops including mine conducted together with Zoltรกn Varga. Complex social systems simulation at the example of road traffic occured to be very vivid theme for all participants. Such brainstorming atmosphere urges us for further action. I am very proud I could be the part of this initiative. Let me take you there

Christmas Party
Such a wonderful evening at #Krakowโs Kazimierz. Not only a Christmas Party, but also the first time when the complete team of #ERC #COeXISTENCE had a chance to meet and integrate with themselves as well as with โolderโ friends. ๐ Ten brilliant minds, working now at Jagiellonian University to contribute towards future urban mobility. Great pride of you, wish all the best in the coming year!

Our results published in JoTG
๐ When ride-pooling is attractive/efficient for all the parties involved (passengers, platforms/providers, city/environment/sustainability)? We examined half a year (1.5 million trip sample) from NYC, run 9 000 experiments with our ๐๐ฑ๐๐๐ and report 6 KPIs to move beyond the well-known ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ญ๐ข๐๐๐ฅ ๐ฆ๐๐ฌ๐ฌ and better understand ride-pooling potential. See our results in Journal of Transport Geography with Olha Shulika, Michaล Bujak and Farnoud Ghasemi.
