When Dialects Collide: How Socioeconomic Mixing Affects Language Use

Thomas Louf, José J. Ramasco, David Sánchez +1

The socioeconomic background of people and how they use standard forms of language are not independent, as demonstrated in various sociolinguistic studies. However, the extent to w…

Generalized contact matrices for epidemic modeling

Adriana Manna, Lorenzo Dall'Amico, Michele Tizzoni +2

Contact matrices have become a key ingredient of modern epidemic models. They account for the stratification of contacts for the age of individuals and, in some cases, the context…

The temporal dynamics of group interactions in higher-order social networks

Iacopo Iacopini, Márton Karsai, Alain Barrat

Representing social systems as networks, starting from the interactions between individuals, sheds light on the mechanisms governing their dynamics. However, networks encode only p…

Interpreting wealth distribution via poverty map inference using multimodal data

Lisette Espín-Noboa, János Kertész, Márton Karsai

Poverty maps are essential tools for governments and NGOs to track socioeconomic changes and adequately allocate infrastructure and services in places in need. Sensor and online cr…

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…

Directed Percolation in Random Temporal Network Models with Heterogeneities

Arash Badie-Modiri, Abbas K. Rizi, Márton Karsai +1

The event graph representation of temporal networks suggests that the connectivity of temporal structures can be mapped to a directed percolation problem. However, similar to perco…

Directed Percolation in Temporal Networks

Arash Badie-Modiri, Abbas K. Rizi, Márton Karsai +1

Connectivity and reachability on temporal networks, which can describe the spreading of a disease, decimation of information or the accessibility of a public transport system over…

Switchover phenomenon induced by epidemic seeding on geometric networks

Gergely Ódor, Domonkos Czifra, Júlia Komjáthy +2

It is a fundamental question in disease modelling how the initial seeding of an epidemic, spreading over a network, determines its final outcome. Research in this topic has primari…

Mapping urban socioeconomic inequalities in developing countries through Facebook advertising data

Serena Giurgola, Simone Piaggesi, Márton Karsai +3

Ending poverty in all its forms everywhere is the number one Sustainable Development Goal of the UN 2030 Agenda. To monitor the progress towards such an ambitious target, reliable,…

Universal role of commuting in the reduction of social assortativity in cities

Eszter Bokányi, Sándor Juhász, Márton Karsai +1

Millions commute to work every day in cities and interact with colleagues, customers, providers, friends, and strangers. Commuting facilitates the mixing of people from distant and…

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…
