@shtrom we just did a section on this in my #NetworkScience class! I find it really clever and interesting!

My next #NetworkScience project is about scaling #tagspub.

If you follow a hashtag in Mastodon, the number of people that provide potential content to you is total number of people on your server plus the total number of unique people followed by everyone on your server.

If you follow a tags.pub account, the number if people that provide potential content to you is the total number of unique people that provide content to tags.pub -- through relays or the followback bot.

Unfortunately the end of semester assignment for my #NetworkScience class is due the day after the #wmhack hackathon is over. I've been working on it in the morning and evening, and I haven't had time to see Milan at all. So, I changed my flight home from Monday to Wednesday, and I'll take a couple of days to be here in the city itself.
Understanding complex systems means understanding interactions, not just components, and that's crucial to quantify risk. After two years of work on ADAPTSYS, see the project website & short teaser: 🌐 adaptsys.it 🎥 www.youtube.com/watch?v=sG9y... #ComplexSystems #NetworkScience #DataScience #AI

FIS1 Project: ADAPTSYS
ADAPTSYS | International Research Project

ADAPTSYS is an international scientific project exploring adaptive systems, complex interactions, and research-driven innovation.

As part of my #NetworkScience work in my masters degree program, I have been thinking about how to do some analysis on Fediverse data. I was so impressed to see that there is a data set, #FediData, with anonymised data from the Fediverse.

I used a very mixed qual-quant method, based on AI assisted coding (https://doi.org/10.48550/arXiv.2505.00012) and graphs (my own work: https://doi.org/10.1177/1525822X20908236).

The AI Co-Ethnographer: How Far Can Automation Take Qualitative Research?

Qualitative research often involves labor-intensive processes that are difficult to scale while preserving analytical depth. This paper introduces The AI Co-Ethnographer (AICoE), a novel end-to-end pipeline developed for qualitative research and designed to move beyond the limitations of simply automating code assignments, offering a more integrated approach. AICoE organizes the entire process, encompassing open coding, code consolidation, code application, and even pattern discovery, leading to a comprehensive analysis of qualitative data.

In the latest Beyond the Edge seminar, Tiago P. Peixoto presented recent work entitled “Graphs are maximally expressive for higher-order interactions” (with Leto Peel, Thilo Gross, and Manlio De Domenico).

Bon, je me plains régulièrement que j'ai pas le temps de faire de la recherche (#VisMaVieDeMCF) mais par contre il faut reconnaître qu'en termes d'opportunités d'encadrement, l'interdisciplinaire c'est le pied. J'ai actuellement une doctorante dont le sujet est à l'interface entre #PhysiqueStatistique et #NetworkScience et un deuxième à l'interface entre #NetworkScience et #Sociologie. Suivront une thèse sur la modélisation des contributions à Wikipedia (#NetworkScience #Sociologie #Gestion) et peut-être une autre entre #Neuroscience et #Sociophysics . Et là un collègue me propose de co-diriger une thèse entre #Mathematiques et #PhysiqueStatistique. Et tout ça avec que des gens super sympas et intéressants !

Ça va pas alléger ma charge de travail tout ça, mais quand même ça fait plaisir de pouvoir participer à des travaux aussi variés.
