Disrupting organised criminal groups using Social Network Analysis

Organised criminal groups—including those involved in drug trafficking, cybercrime, and human trafficking—can be conceptualised as networks. Social network analysis (SNA) has been used extensively by researchers to scrutinise the structure of organised criminal groups and...

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.

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.

📍 CHARLOTTENBURG ➝ WEDDING ➝ WILMERSDORF ➝ ZEHLENDORF — the city forms a hidden chain. Markov links reveal how closures and mergers ripple across neighborhoods like dominoes. When one clinic falls, another district feels the shock. Maps don’t lie: healthcare in Berlin now moves like a network, not a system. #UrbanHealth #NetworkScience #Berlin 🗺️⚡
