Identifiability of Latent Space Network Models on Anisotropic Thurston Geometries

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

A latent space network model places the nodes in a metric space and lets the probability of a tie decrease with distance. In a space of constant curvature, pairwise distances deter…

What Does Chain-of-Thought Entropy Measure? A Channel Audit of Scaffolding, Routing, and Content

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Entropy over chain-of-thought tokens decides which tokens receive the policy gradient, which get pruned, and whether a run has collapsed, yet each such statistic reads a next-token…

Replicable Conformal Prediction

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane, Theofanis Papamichalis

Two analysts who calibrate the same predictive model on independent samples will deploy different prediction sets every time, because the calibration threshold inherits the randomn…

Separating Time-Varying Network Composition from Predictive Dependence under Noisy Network Measurement

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane, Theofanis Papamichalis

A common question about networked time series is whether outcomes changed because shocks transmit more strongly or because the pattern of connections changed. Standard practice ins…

Which Question Is Your Attention Metric Answering? Attention Rows as Compositional Data

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Each row of a transformer's attention matrix is a probability distribution over tokens, and in trained models most of that probability lands on a single \emph{sink} token, usually…

Bayesian Predictive Synthesis for Dynamic Networks: Forecasting and Identifying Structural Mechanisms

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane, Theofanis Papamichalis

Networks are shaped by competing structural mechanisms, such as communities, geometry, or hubs. In a dynamic network the most predictive mechanism can change, and a model tied to o…

Minimax Synthesis of Network Mechanisms

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

A single observed network reflects several mechanisms at once: communities, hubs, and clustering coexist in one graph, each a different model. We treat the network as a combination…

How Eviction Court Governs: A Statistical Analysis of Bargaining, Templates, and Debt in Philadelphia

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

We analyze downstream courtroom governance in Philadelphia eviction cases using 755,004 Municipal Court landlord--tenant records filed from 1969 through 2022. Post-filing case proc…

High-Volume Plaintiff-Side Counsel and Single-Appearance Eviction Cases in Philadelphia

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Among 755,004 Philadelphia landlord--tenant records filed during 1969-2022, 396,163 residential cases involve tenants who appear exactly once in the observed docket. In unadjusted…

Legal Infrastructure Organizes Eviction: Evidence from Philadelphia

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

We analyze the filing-side legal infrastructure of eviction using 755,004 Philadelphia Municipal Court landlord-tenant records filed between 1969 and 2022, of which 747,125 are res…

Support-Safe Variational Hybrid Filtering for Contact-Mode and Sparse-Law Recovery

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Contact-rich robot dynamics are hybrid: a single observation can match several latent states and contact regimes (free, impact, stick--slip). A standard amortized filter that place…

Deep description of static and dynamic network ties in Honduran villages

Marios Papamichalis, Nikolaos Nakis, Nicholas A. Christakis

We examine static and dynamic social network structure in 176 villages within the Copan Department of Honduras across two data waves (2016, 2019), using detailed data on multiplex…

Evidence thresholds of collapsed structured block models

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

A stochastic block model explains a network by splitting its nodes into communities and a matrix of tie probabilities between them. Collapsing those probabilities out scores each s…

Decision-Theoretic Robustness for Network Models

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane, Simon Lunagomez +1

Bayesian network models (Erdos Renyi, stochastic block models, random dot product graphs, graphons) are widely used in neuroscience, epidemiology, and the social sciences, yet real…

Multiscale Localized Inference for Networks with a Measured Vertex Coordinate

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

In many networks each vertex has a position measured from outside the network: a neuron's location along the body axis, a residue's index along a protein sequence, a genomic bin's…

Graphon-Level Bayesian Predictive Synthesis for Random Network

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Analysts often fit several models to the same network. Each estimates a graphon, the function giving the probability of a link between two nodes. Reporting one predictive graphon m…

Group Cooperation Diverges onto Durable Low versus High Paths: Public Goods Experiments in 134 Honduran Villages

Marios Papamichalis, Nicholas Christakis, Feng Fu

We performed large, lab-in-the-field experiment (2,591 participants across 134 Honduran villages; ten rounds) and tracked how contribution behavior unfolds in fixed, anonymous grou…

Decomposing Degree Assortativity in Sparse Spatial Networks

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Spatial networks are typically assortative: well-connected nodes link to other well-connected nodes, and the usual reading is sorting, popular nodes seeking each other out. In spac…

State-Space Modeling of Time-Varying Spillovers on Networks

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane, Theofanis Papamichalis

Crime counts in city neighbourhoods, disease counts in counties, and sales at firms joined by trade are naturally represented as counts on the nodes of a network. In each case a hi…

Radial Compensation: The Inverse Base-Distribution Problem for Chart-Based Generative Models on Riemannian Manifolds

Marios Papamichalis, Regina Ruane

Latent-variable models on spheres and hyperbolic spaces usually draw a Gaussian in the tangent space at a base point and push it onto the manifold. On these spaces the distance fro…

Educational Intervention Re-Wires Social Interactions in Isolated Village Networks

Marios Papamichalis, Laura Forastiere, Edoardo M. Airoldi +1

Social networks shape behavior, disseminate information, and undergird collective action within communities. Consequently, they can be very valuable in the design of effective inte…

Wrapped Distributions on homogeneous Riemannian manifolds

Fernando Galaz-Garcia, Marios Papamichalis, Kathryn Turnbull +2

We provide a general framework for constructing probability distributions on Riemannian manifolds, taking advantage of area-preserving maps and isometries. Control over distributio…

Latent Space Network Modelling with Hyperbolic and Spherical Geometries

Marios Papamichalis, Kathryn Turnbull, Simon Lunagomez +1

A rich class of network models associate each node with a low-dimensional latent coordinate that controls the propensity for connections to form. Models of this type are well estab…

Bayesian Model Averaging for Data Driven Decision Making when Causality is Partially Known

Marios Papamichalis, Abhishek Ray, Ilias Bilionis +2

Probabilistic machine learning models are often insufficient to help with decisions on interventions because those models find correlations - not causal relationships. If observati…
