Thanks to SoBigData TNA access, I got the occasion to visit Giulio Rossetti at KDD Lab Pisa in Pisa during the last 3 weeks. Stay tuned to see the results! Spoiler: it is related to community detection and CDlib - Community Discovery Library.

Kudos to Valentina Pansanella that today successfully defended her PhD.
It was a real pleasure to supervise her during these last 3y. Ad Maiora!!

At NetSci-X 2024 I just presented our works on psychometric tools (forma mentis networks) showing how #LLMs and #ChatGPT services reflect negative biases present in high schoolers. Papers here: doi.org/10.3390/bdcc70…

In a super PACKED room, Virginia Morini presented the paper led by her and Salvatore Citraro on mental health and Reddit dynamics, supervised by Giulio Rossetti and with input from a team of psychologists/cogsci (me too).

🚨Cognitive #hypergraphs and where to find them
👇
We introduce them here (doi.org/10.1140/epjds/…) and here (doi.org/10.1016/j.newi…) to model free association data.
Against pairwise #networks , cognitive hypergraphs predict better language #learning and word concreteness.

Just out in Nature Communications: nature.com/articles/s4146…. We introduce a centrality metric, DomiRank, based on a competition mechanism and show how investing in unimportant connections and conniving with others can be crucial for enhancing network robustness and functionality.

First pre-print with my new PhD student Edith Haim:

Cognitive networks for knowledge modelling: A gentle tutorial for data- and cognitive scientists

We review basic methods in cognitive science, datasets and powerful software packages for analysis 💪

Together with 45 co-authors👥️ we wrote a consensus paper on what we mean when we say semantic. A glossary with percentage consensus and dissents on many notions involving semantics. Among them 👉 'Abstraction'🤩 Abstraction Project ERC-StG
