Collectives form non-equilibrium social structures characterised by a volatile dynamics. Individuals join or leave. Social relations change quickly. Therefore, differently from eng…
The downside of heterogeneity: How established relations counteract systemic adaptivity in tasks assignments
Giona Casiraghi, Christian Zingg, Frank Schweitzer
We study the lock-in effect in a network of task assignments. Agents have a heterogeneous fitness for solving tasks and can redistribute unfinished tasks to other agents. They lear…
gambit -- An Open Source Name Disambiguation Tool for Version Control Systems
Christoph Gote, Christian Zingg
Name disambiguation is a complex but highly relevant challenge whenever analysing real-world user data, such as data from version control systems. We propose gambit, a rule-based d…
Citations Driven by Social Connections? A Multi-Layer Representation of Coauthorship Networks
Christian Zingg, Vahan Nanumyan, Frank Schweitzer
To what extent is the citation rate of new papers influenced by the past social relations of their authors? To answer this question, we present a data-driven analysis of nine diffe…
What is the Entropy of a Social Organization?
Christian Zingg, Giona Casiraghi, Giacomo Vaccario +1
We quantify a social organization's potentiality, that is its ability to attain different configurations. The organization is represented as a network in which nodes correspond to…
