When you have network data with node metadata, how can you use them to improve community detection? One way is to make the communities align with the metadata. In our new preprint, we propose another way: to discount the effects of the metadata from the detected communities. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20083

Block-corrected Modularity for Community Detection

Unknown node attributes in complex networks may introduce community structures that are important to distinguish from those driven by known attributes. We propose a block-corrected modularity that dis...

Excited to share our new preprint: "Incivility and Contentiousness Spillover between COVID-19 and Climate Science Engagement." We examine how affective polarisation surrounding COVID spilled over into climate change discussions on Twitter and Reddit in 2019-2021. @tedhchen.com @hastinz.bsky.social

Incivility and Contentiousness Spillover between COVID-19 and Climate Science Engagement

Affective polarization and its accompanying cleavage-based sorting drives incivility and contentiousness around climate change and other science-related issues. Looking at the COVID-19 period, we stud...

We're organizing a NetSci'25 satellite workshop on Directed Acyclic Graphs — if you're working on, e.g., citation graphs, pedigrees, causality, temporal-network event graphs, network representations of spacetime, or any other areas where DAGs play a role, please contribute! www.dagshop.xyz

DAGSHOP’25 — A WORKSHOP ON DIRECTED ACYCLIC GRAPHS - Dagshop — a NetSci'25 satellite

DAGSHOP — A Workshop on directed acyclic graphs Directed Acyclic Graphs (DAGs) appear in many contexts in network science, from citation networks and pedigrees to temporal-network event graphs and rep...
