Incorporating dynamic flight network in SEIR to model mobility between populationsApplied Network Science - Tập 6 - Trang 1-24 - 2021
Xiaoye Ding, Shenyang Huang, Abby Leung, Reihaneh Rabbany
Current efforts of modelling COVID-19 are often based on the standard compartmental models such as SEIR and their variations. As pre-symptomatic and asymptomatic cases can spread the disease between populations through travel, it is important to incorporate mobility between populations into the epidemiological modelling. In this work, we propose to modify the commonly-used SEIR model to account fo...... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling algorithmic bias: simplicial complexes and evolving network topologiesApplied Network Science - - 2022
Valentina Pansanella, Giulio Rossetti, Letizia Milli
Every day, people inform themselves and create their opinions on social networks. Although these platforms have promoted the access and dissemination of information, they may expose readers to manipulative, biased, and disinformative content—co-causes of polarization/radicalization. Moreover, recommendation algorithms, intended initially to enhance platform usage, are likely to augment such phenom...... hiện toàn bộ
Penalized inference of the hematopoietic cell differentiation network via high-dimensional clonal trackingApplied Network Science - Tập 4 - Trang 1-26 - 2019
Danilo Pellin, Luca Biasco, Alessandro Aiuti, Maria Clelia Di Serio, Ernst C. Wit
During their lifespan, stem- or progenitor cells have the ability to differentiate into more committed cell lineages. Understanding this process can be key in treating certain diseases. However, up until now only limited information about the cell differentiation process is known. The goal of this paper is to present a statistical framework able to describe the cell differentiation process at the ...... hiện toàn bộ
Fact-checking strategies to limit urban legends spreading in a segregated societyApplied Network Science - Tập 4 - Trang 1-19 - 2019
Marcella Tambuscio, Giancarlo Ruffo
We propose a framework to study the spreading of urban legends, i.e., false stories that become persistent in a local popular culture, where social groups are naturally segregated by virtue of many (both mutable and immutable) attributes. The goal of this work is identifying and testing new strategies to restrain the dissemination of false information, focusing on the role of network polarization....... hiện toàn bộ
Geometrical inspired pre-weighting enhances Markov clustering community detection in complex networksApplied Network Science - Tập 6 - Trang 1-16 - 2021
Claudio Durán, Alessandro Muscoloni, Carlo Vittorio Cannistraci
Markov clustering is an effective unsupervised pattern recognition algorithm for data clustering in high-dimensional feature space. However, its community detection performance in complex networks has been demonstrating results far from the state of the art methods such as Infomap and Louvain. The crucial issue is to convert the unweighted network topology in a ‘smart-enough’ pre-weighted connecti...... hiện toàn bộ
Multilayer approach reveals organizational principles disrupted in breast cancer co-expression networksApplied Network Science - Tập 5 - Trang 1-23 - 2020
Rodrigo Dorantes-Gilardi, Diana García-Cortés, Enrique Hernández-Lemus, Jesús Espinal-Enríquez
The study of co-expression programs in the context of cancer can help to elucidate the genetic mechanisms that are altered and lead to the disease. The identification of gene co-expression patterns, unique to healthy profiles (and absent in cancer) is an important step in this direction. Networks are a good tool for achieving this as they allow to model local and global structural properties of th...... hiện toàn bộ
Organization and evolution of the UK far-right network on TelegramApplied Network Science - Tập 7 - Trang 1-27 - 2022
Alexandre Bovet, Peter Grindrod
The instant messaging platform Telegram has become popular among the far-right movements in the US and UK in recent years. These groups use public Telegram channels and group chats to disseminate hate speech, disinformation, and conspiracy theories. Recent works revealed that the far-right Telegram network structure is decentralized and formed of several communities divided mostly along ideologica...... hiện toàn bộ
Evolution of topics and hate speech in retweet network communitiesApplied Network Science - Tập 6 - Trang 1-20 - 2021
Bojan Evkoski, Nikola Ljubešić, Andraž Pelicon, Igor Mozetič, Petra Kralj Novak
Twitter data exhibits several dimensions worth exploring: a network dimension in the form of links between the users, textual content of the tweets posted, and a temporal dimension as the time-stamped sequence of tweets and their retweets. In the paper, we combine analyses along all three dimensions: temporal evolution of retweet networks and communities, contents in terms of hate speech, and disc...... hiện toàn bộ
