Complexity Science Hub is launching a graduate program on #complexity #science 🧪

An opportunity to work on fundamental research on a wide variety of topics.

Happy to discuss with anyone interested in working in PoETs (eltrompetero.github.io)

Due May 31.

This week Network Science Institute we were lucky to be joined by Kiran Garimella discussing his efforts to build data donation infrastructures that can estimate population-level misinformation spread on WhatsApp (!)

One of the most immense data collection endeavors I've seen networkscienceinstitute.org/talks/kiran-ga…

I'll be at Network Science Institute in Boston this Thursday/Friday and give a talk about our recent work monitoring WhatsApp for misinformation.

Say hi if you're around!

The already extremely high share of Black people in Maryland state prison's went up after the coronavirus state of emergency ended, I found:

Our paper 'Collective behavior from surprise minimization' now published in PNAS PNASNews! Check it out to learn about a new, flexible approach to modelling collective motion with active inference!

Amazing visit this week from Tiago Peixoto as a part of the Network Science Institute Complexity Speaker Series (so good that this is the only pic I have of the visit 😭) networkscienceinstitute.org/talks/tiago-pe…

Featuring work w/ Leto Peel Manlio De Domenico nature.com/articles/s4146… + his recent arxiv.org/abs/2401.01404

We are so excited to announce that you can now vote for one of our eight finalists in the People's Choice Award for our Data is ART Competition🏆

Looking at training of a neural network as a (temporal) network trajectory, we can investigate the blackbox of machine learning training through dynamical systems and network theory.
Great & fun collab w/ Kalo & Miguel C. Soriano

arxiv.org/pdf/2404.05782…

New pre-print by Aria w Joseph Lizier:
'A feature-based information-theoretic approach for detecting interpretable, long-timescale pairwise interactions from time series'
Introduces a new method: uses features to infer time-series interactions
arxiv.org/abs/2404.05929

The NetSci 2024 School focuses on hands-on learning of network tools.

The software session offers tutorials on network analysis, graph theory tools, and combining multiple packages: networkX, graph-tool, igraph, & more.

1/ A human case of #H5N1 was just reported and is linked to the ongoing outbreak in US dairy cattle.

How concerned should we be?

It's good news that the patient is experiencing eye symptoms and had direct exposure to infected cattle.

Why? 🧵

After years of work, we (w/ @simonchauchard) are releasing our new tool to collect WhatsApp data at scale! Introducing WhatsApp Explorer, a tool to collect data in a privacy preserving, opt-in, legal and practical way
