Verifiable Disaster Storylines and Causal Knowledge Graphs: A Citation-Grounded Pipeline from Heterogeneous Humanitarian Sources

Ivan Decostanzi, Michele Ronco, Sergio Consoli +8

Effective humanitarian response depends on the rapid synthesis of heterogeneous, high-volume information sources - a task that routinely exceeds human analytical capacity in the cr…

An Epidemiological Knowledge Graph extracted from the World Health Organization's Disease Outbreak News

Sergio Consoli, Pietro Coletti, Peter V. Markov +7

The rapid evolution of artificial intelligence (AI), together with the increased availability of social media and news for epidemiological surveillance, are marking a pivotal momen…

Sparse Autoregressive Neural Networks for Classical Spin Systems

Indaco Biazzo, Dian Wu, Giuseppe Carleo

Efficient sampling and approximation of Boltzmann distributions involving large sets of binary variables, or spins, are pivotal in diverse scientific fields even beyond physics. Re…

Bayes-optimal inference for spreading processes on random networks

D. Ghio, A. L. M. Aragon, I. Biazzo +1

We consider a class of spreading processes on networks, which generalize commonly used epidemic models such as the SIR model or the SIS model with a bounded number of re-infections…

The autoregressive neural network architecture of the Boltzmann distribution of pairwise interacting spins systems

Indaco Biazzo

Generative Autoregressive Neural Networks (ARNNs) have recently demonstrated exceptional results in image and language generation tasks, contributing to the growing popularity of g…

A Bayesian generative neural network framework for epidemic inference problems

Indaco Biazzo, Alfredo Braunstein, Luca Dall'Asta +1

The reconstruction of missing information in epidemic spreading on contact networks can be essential in the prevention and containment strategies. The identification and warning of…

Entropy production of selfish drivers: Implications for efficiency and predictability of movements in a city

Indaco Biazzo, Mohsen Ghasemi Nezhadhaghighi, Abolfazl Ramezanpour

Characterizing the efficiency of movements is important for a better management of the cities. More specifically, the connection between the efficiency and uncertainty (entropy) pr…

Epidemic mitigation by statistical inference from contact tracing data

Antoine Baker, Indaco Biazzo, Alfredo Braunstein +10

Contact-tracing is an essential tool in order to mitigate the impact of pandemic such as the COVID-19. In order to achieve efficient and scalable contact-tracing in real time, digi…

Efficiency and irreversibility of movements in a city

Indaco Biazzo, Abolfazl Ramezanpour

We know that maximal efficiency in physical systems is attained by reversible processes. It is then interesting to see how irreversibility affects efficiency in other systems, e.g.…

General scores for accessibility and inequality measures in urban areas

Indaco Biazzo, Bernardo Monechi, Vittorio Loreto

In the last decades, the acceleration of urban growth has led to an unprecedented level of urban interactions and interdependence. This situation calls for a significant effort amo…

Bethe free-energy approximations for disordered quantum systems

I. Biazzo, A. Ramezanpour

Given a locally consistent set of reduced density matrices, we construct approximate density matrices which are globally consistent with the local density matrices we started from…

On the performance of a cavity method based algorithm for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree Problem on graphs

Indaco Biazzo, Alfredo Braunstein, Riccardo Zecchina

We study the behavior of an algorithm derived from the cavity method for the Prize-Collecting Steiner Tree (PCST) problem on graphs. The algorithm is based on the zero temperature…

Low-temperature excitations within the Bethe approximation

I. Biazzo, A. Ramezanpour

We propose the variational quantum cavity method to construct a minimal energy subspace of wave vectors that are used to obtain some upper bounds for the energy cost of the low-tem…

A note on rattlers in amorphous packings of binary mixtures of hard spheres

I. Biazzo, F. Caltagirone, G. Parisi +1

It has been recently pointed out by Farr and Groot (arXiv:0912.0852) and by Kyrylyuk and Philipse (Prog. Colloid Polym. Sci., 2010, in press) that our theoretical result for the ja…

A theory of amorphous packings of binary mixtures of hard spheres

Indaco Biazzo, Francesco Caltagirone, Giorgio Parisi +1

We extend our theory of amorphous packings of hard spheres to binary mixtures and more generally to multicomponent systems. The theory is based on the assumption that amorphous pac…
