Contextual centrality: going beyond network structure
(Scientific Reports, 2020-06-10)
Centrality is a fundamental network property that ranks nodes by their structural importance. However, the network structure alone may not predict successful diffusion in many applications, such as viral marketing and ...
Modelling the impact of testing, contact tracing and household quarantine on second waves of COVID-19
(Nature Human Behaviour, 2020-08-05)
While severe social-distancing measures have proven effective in slowing the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, second-wave scenarios are likely to emerge as restrictions are lifted. Here we integrate anonymized, ...
Computational social science: Obstacles and opportunities
(Science, 2020-08-28)
Which factors affect the performance of technology business incubators in China? An entrepreneurial ecosystem perspective
(PLoS ONE, 2022-01-11)
To examine which factors affect the performance of technology business incubators in China, the present study proposes an entrepreneurial ecosystem framework with four key areas, i.e., people, technology, capital, and ...
Accuracy-Risk Trade-Off Due to Social Learning in Crowd-Sourced Financial Predictions
(Entropy, 2021-06-24)
A critical question relevant to the increasing importance of crowd-sourced-based finance is how to optimize collective information processing and decision-making. Here, we investigate an often under-studied aspect of the ...
Bayesian collective learning emerges from heuristic social learning
(Cognition, 2021-07)
Researchers across cognitive science, economics, and evolutionary biology have studied the ubiquitous phe- nomenon of social learning—the use of information about other people’s decisions to make your own. Decision- making ...
Secure and secret cooperation in robot swarms
(Science Robotics, 2021-07-28)
The importance of swarm robotics systems in both academic research and real-world applications is steadily increasing. However, to reach widespread adoption, new models that ensure the secure cooperation of large groups ...
Mapping Time-Varying Accessibility and Territorial Cohesion With Time-Distorted Maps
(IEEE Access, 2019-03-27)
Human societies have radically changed from the second half of the 20 th century. Urban areas are increasingly concentrating more people and economic activities. Connections between market economies in different regions ...
How Physical Proximity Shapes Complex Social Networks
(Scientific Reports, 2018-12-07)
Social interactions among humans create complex networks and – despite a recent increase of online communication – the interactions mediated through physical proximity remain a fundamental way for people to connect. A ...
Ethical machines: The human-centric use of artificial intelligence
