How large should academic departments be?
Jan Bachmann, Lisette Espín-Noboa, Fariba Karimi +3
Academic departments are the primary unit of scholarship and education at universities, and they vary vastly in their sizes. However, the consequences and natural dynamics of depar…
Statistical inference of dynamical processes on networks
Javier Ureña-Carrion, Tiago P. Peixoto, Gerardo Iñiguez
Mechanisms of interaction in spreading models are central to our quantitative understanding of networked contagion processes, from disease transmission to opinion dynamics. Yet, wh…
Preferentiality and bandwidth drive tie activity in online and offline ego networks
Gamal Adel, Shrichand Bhuria, Alessandro Catalano +7
Ego networks capture the variety of structural patterns in the social interactions of individuals. Recently it has been shown that ego networks in online settings display universal…
Universal time scales linking topology and dynamics in temporal networks
Giulia de Meijere, Marton Karsai, Gerardo Iniguez
Temporal networks underlie a wide range of social, technological, and biological phenomena, highlighting how temporal inhomogeneities drive interactions in complex systems. Despite…
To trace or not to trace: analytical insights from network-based contact-tracing models
Giulia de Meijere, Andrea Pugliese, Gerardo Iñiguez +2
Contact tracing is one of the most important control measures deployed during epidemics. Relying on the identification of contacts of known infected individuals, it necessitates a…
Opinion dynamics: Statistical physics and beyond
Michele Starnini, Fabian Baumann, Tobias Galla +5
Opinion dynamics, the study of how individual beliefs and collective public opinion evolve, is a fertile domain for applying statistical physics to complex social phenomena. Like p…
Ranking dynamics in movies and music
Hyun-Woo Lee, Gerardo Iñiguez, Hang-Hyun Jo +1
Ranking systems are widely used to simplify and interpret complex data across diverse domains, from economic indicators and sports scores to online content popularity. While previo…
Toxic behavior silences online political conversations
Gabriela Juncosa, Taha Yasseri, Julia Koltai +1
Quantifying how individuals react to social influence is crucial for tackling collective political behavior online. While many studies of opinion in public forums focus on social f…
Cumulative Advantage of Brokerage in Academia
Jan Bachmann, Lisette Espín-Noboa, Gerardo Iñiguez +1
Science is a collaborative endeavor in which "who collaborates with whom" profoundly influences scientists' career trajectories and success. Despite its relevance, little is known…
Assortative and preferential attachment lead to core-periphery networks
Javier Ureña-Carrion, Fariba Karimi, Gerardo Iñiguez +1
Core-periphery is a key feature of large-scale networks underlying a wide range of social, biological, and transportation phenomena. Despite its prevalence in empirical data, it is…
Multidimensional political polarization in online social networks
Antonio F. Peralta, Pedro Ramaciotti, János Kertész +1
Political polarization in online social platforms is a rapidly growing phenomenon worldwide. Despite their relevance to modern-day politics, the structure and dynamics of polarized…
Universal patterns in egocentric communication networks
Gerardo Iñiguez, Sara Heydari, János Kertész +1
Tie strengths in social networks are heterogeneous, with strong and weak ties playing different roles at both the network and the individual level. Egocentric networks, networks of…
Heterogeneity extends criticality
Fernanda Sánchez-Puig, Octavio Zapata, Omar K. Pineda +2
Criticality has been proposed as a mechanism for the emergence of complexity, life, and computation, as it exhibits a balance between robustness and adaptability. In classic models…
Temporal patterns of reciprocity in communication networks
Sandeep Chowdhary, Elsa Andres, Adriana Manna +3
Human communication, the essence of collective social phenomena ranging from small-scale organizations to worldwide online platforms, features intense reciprocal interactions betwe…
Opinion dynamics in social networks: From models to data
Antonio F. Peralta, János Kertész, Gerardo Iñiguez
Opinions are an integral part of how we perceive the world and each other. They shape collective action, playing a role in democratic processes, the evolution of norms, and cultura…
Socioeconomic biases in urban mixing patterns of US metropolitan areas
Rafiazka Millanida Hilman, Gerardo Iñiguez, Márton Karsai
Urban areas serve as melting pots of people with diverse socioeconomic backgrounds, who may not only be segregated but have characteristic mobility patterns in the city. While mobi…
Opinion formation on social networks with algorithmic bias: Dynamics and bias imbalance
Antonio F. Peralta, János Kertész, Gerardo Iñiguez
We investigate opinion dynamics and information spreading on networks under the influence of content filtering technologies. The filtering mechanism, present in many online social…
The effect of algorithmic bias and network structure on coexistence, consensus, and polarization of opinions
Antonio F. Peralta, Matteo Neri, János Kertész +1
Individuals of modern societies share ideas and participate in collective processes within a pervasive, variable, and mostly hidden ecosystem of content filtering technologies that…
Identifying tax evasion in Mexico with tools from network science and machine learning
Martin Zumaya, Rita Guerrero, Eduardo Islas +4
Mexico has kept electronic records of all taxable transactions since 2014. Anonymized data collected by the Mexican federal government comprises more than 80 million contributors (…
Dynamics of ranking
Gerardo Iñiguez, Carlos Pineda, Carlos Gershenson +1
Virtually anything can be and is ranked; people, institutions, countries, words, genes. Rankings reduce complex systems to ordered lists, reflecting the ability of their elements t…
Dynamics of cascades on burstiness-controlled temporal networks
Samuel Unicomb, Gerardo Iñiguez, James P. Gleeson +1
Burstiness, the tendency of interaction events to be heterogeneously distributed in time, is critical to information diffusion in physical and social systems. However, an analytica…
Extracting the multimodal fingerprint of urban transportation networks
Luis Natera, Federico Battiston, Gerardo Iñiguez +1
Urban mobility increasingly relies on multimodality, combining the use of bicycle paths, streets, and rail networks. These different modes of transportation are well described by m…
