Event Details:
What is the happiness index that we often talk about, and what kind of metric systems do we use to measure the level of happiness? In this talk, we will briefly introduce a number of latest mathematical models such as machine learning, social network theory and an open upward curve (the happiness curve), etc. By comparing a country’s social norms with those in the other countries, we will come across interesting and informative results that may surprise you and change the way you think.
