🧠 New preprint on adaptive contagion dynamics on #hypergraphs by Mancastroppa, Karsai, & Barrat.

The key result: adaptive, locally informed behavior can neutralize explosive phase transitions in higher-order contagion. Group-level awareness suppresses nonlinear reinforcement, shrinks bistability, and can turn a discontinuous transition into a continuous one. A nice mechanistic link between adaptivity, higher-order interactions, and phase transitions.

I am working on writing a GUI for editing edge-representation #Hypergraphs Anyone played with drawing these? I have a couple of ways of approaching this, and would like to choose something useful and useable beyond just my rather narrow experience and application.

I am writing in #Python using #pyside6 and can (within reason!) make it do what is best for editing and thinking.

Any links/ references/ resources/ boosts welcome.

New paper!
How can we detect the presence of communities in networks with higher-order interactions? For instance, by maximizing hypermodularity! Also, this formulation will allow you to leverage tensor spectral methods to do it. Additionally, the paper also argues that the "overfitting" of modularity methods is actually just people applying them where they are not supposed to be used. And, as a byproduct, there is an explanation of why higher-order SVD works so well in classification tasks in machine learning. Oh, the code is available to use in your own projects (link in the first comment). And moreover, the code includes an efficient data structure for higher-order networks that is independent from the community detection method and that you can also use in your own work. 😎

New paper, just out.

Often, in real-world situations, one does not know the full structure of a network. However, at the same time, one can often observe some interactions that take place on it, and may be interested in knowing its full structure. For example, one may be detecting some partial criminal activity and may want to determine the whole organization. We consider higher-order networks, which are structures with many-body interactions, and specifically simplicial complexes, and show that one can reconstruct a whole network almost perfectly simply by observing the transient of the dynamics that takes place on it. In fact, we give 3 different algorithms to do it, with different complexities and accuracies, so you can choose which one suits you best.
