Evolution as a Process of Causal Inference

Jacopo Iacovacci

Recently, the mapping of the replicator equation onto Bayes' theorem has been recognised, leading to an analogy between evolutionary dynamics and Bayesian learning. However, this a…

Extraction and integration of genetic networks from short-profile omic datasets

Jacopo Iacovacci, Alina Peluso, Timothy Ebbels +2

Mass-spectrometry technologies are widely used in the fields of ionomics and metabolomics to simultaneously profile at the genome scale intracellular concentrations of e.g. amino a…

Visibility graphs for image processing

Jacopo Iacovacci, Lucas Lacasa

The family of image visibility graphs (IVGs) have been recently introduced as simple algorithms by which scalar fields can be mapped into graphs. Here we explore the usefulness of…

A combinatorial framework to quantify peak/pit asymmetries in complex dynamics

Uri Hasson, Jacopo Iacovacci, Ben Davis +4

We explore a combinatorial framework which efficiently quantifies the asymmetries between minima and maxima in local fluctuations of time series. We firstly showcase its performanc…

Multilink Communities of Multiplex Networks

Raul J Mondragon, Jacopo Iacovacci, Ginestra Bianconi

Multiplex networks describe a large number of complex social, biological and transportation networks where a set of nodes is connected by links of different nature and connotation.…

Centralities of Nodes and Influences of Layers in Large Multiplex Networks

Christoph Rahmede, Jacopo Iacovacci, Alex Arenas +1

We formulate and propose an algorithm (MultiRank) for the ranking of nodes and layers in large multiplex networks. MultiRank takes into account the full multiplex network structure…

Visibility graphs of random scalar fields and spatial data

Lucas Lacasa, Jacopo Iacovacci

The family of visibility algorithms were recently introduced as mappings between time series and graphs. Here we extend this method to characterize spatially extended data structur…

Functional Multiplex PageRank

Jacopo Iacovacci, Christoph Rahmede, Alex Arenas +1

Recently it has been recognized that many complex social, technological and biological networks have a multilayer nature and can be described by multiplex networks. Multiplex netwo…

Sequential motif profile of natural visibility graphs

Jacopo Iacovacci, Lucas Lacasa

The concept of sequential visibility graph motifs -subgraphs appearing with characteristic frequencies in the visibility graphs associated to time series- has been advanced recentl…

Extracting Information from Multiplex Networks

Jacopo Iacovacci, Ginestra Bianconi

Multiplex networks are generalized network structures that are able to describe networks in which the same set of nodes are connected by links that have different connotations. Mul…

Sequential visibility-graph motifs

Jacopo Iacovacci, Lucas Lacasa

Visibility algorithms transform time series into graphs and encode dynamical information in their topology, paving the way for graph-theoretical time series analysis as well as bui…

Emergence of multiplex communities in collaboration networks

Federico Battiston, Jacopo Iacovacci, Vincenzo Nicosia +2

Community structures in collaboration networks reflect the natural tendency of individuals to organize their work in groups in order to better achieve common goals. In most of the…

Mesoscopic Structures Reveal the Network Between the Layers of Multiplex Datasets

Jacopo Iacovacci, Zhihao Wu, Ginestra Bianconi

Multiplex networks describe a large variety of complex systems, whose elements (nodes) can be connected by different types of interactions forming different layers (networks) of th…

Triadic closure as a basic generating mechanism of communities in complex networks

Ginestra Bianconi, Richard K. Darst, Jacopo Iacovacci +1

Most of the complex social, technological and biological networks have a significant community structure. Therefore the community structure of complex networks has to be considered…
