Hypergraphx-data is now available in the Journal of Complex Networks: academic.oup.com/comnet/artic...

📎 Today, we are releasing Hypergraphx-data: hgx-team.github.io/hypergraphx-... Hypergraphx-data offers more than 100 real-world datasets to explore higher-order interactions across domains such as social networks, biology, and finance, and supports directed, temporal, and multiplex hypergraphs.

Which coupling functions should you use in your higher-order Kuramoto model? Symmetries will tell you! "Symmetry-based selection rules for higher-order interactions in coupled oscillators" preprint now out. Preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2606.04904 Code: tiny.cc/60l4101 w/ I. Léon, R. Muolo, Y. Zhang 🧵1/

The JMLR LaTeX template enforces the use of {algorithm2e} to typeset algorithms, package I am not familiar with—my weapon of choice is {algorithmicx}—yet I'm starting to see the appeal. {algorithm2e} does provide you with more flexibility! For instance, the flexibility to wish you'd never been born

🌱 Out in Communications Physics: “The microscale organization of directed hypergraphs” ➡️ What can we learn from the directionality of group interactions in real-world systems? 📄 Paper: www.nature.com/articles/s42... ⚙️ Tools: github.com/HGX-Team/hyp... w/ Vendramini, Montresor, @fede7j.bsky.social

When can higher-order networks be simplified without losing what matters? New papers in @physrevlett.bsky.social and @natcomms.nature.com by Federico Battiston & collaborators introduce structural and dynamical reducibility frameworks for higher-order networks. 🔗 bit.ly/4sNwfUN 🔗 bit.ly/4sPYCBM

How complex should network models be? 🚨 In our latest paper we quantify (if and) when higher-order interactions are informative versus reducible to pairwise structure without losing functional signal (e.g., diffusion behavior). 👉 www.nature.com/articles/s41... 1/

🎶One more “song”? Come see our poster next week at #AAAI2026 on our paper: 📣 “Don’t Stop the Multi-Party! On Generating Synthetic Written Multi-Party Conversations with Constraints” With @marcoguerini.bsky.social Bruno Lepri @gglavas.bsky.social @satonelli.bsky.social 🧵 arxiv.org/abs/2502.13592

Our new paper on searching the space of hypergraphs to solve constrained combinatorial optimization problem is out. This was joint work with Guilherme Ferraz de Arruda, Wan He, Nasimeh Heydaribeni, Tara Javidi, and Yamir Moreno. communities.springernature.com/posts/buildi...

In a brief 𝘕𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘊𝘰𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 piece, E. Valdano and I discuss recent progress in automated scientific discovery of governing laws for complex networked systems, where neural symbolic regression can extract interpretable laws from high-dimensional dynamics. www.nature.com/articles/s43...

🚨🚨 New paper out! With @colltoaction.bsky.social, @fralotito.bsky.social, and a bunch of offline co-authors 🙂 we published "HIF: The hypergraph interchange format for higher-order networks" doi.org/10.1017/nws....

We’re excited to announce the line-up for our fall seminar series! We have three awesome speakers who will share their research and perspectives on the craft of science.

🚨🚨 New preprint just dropped! In collaboration with @colltoaction.bsky.social, Cliff Joslyn, @fralotito.bsky.social, Audun Myers, Joshua Pickard, Brenda Praggastis, and Przemysław Szufel, we define a new data sharing standard for higher-order networks. arxiv.org/abs/2507.11520

📢📢📢 Thrilled to share our new paper "Drivers of cooperation in social dilemmas on higher-order networks", out now in J. R. Soc. Interface! 🚀 With Andrea Civilini, Vito Latora & @fede7j.bsky.social 🔗 royalsocietypublishing.org/doi/10.1098/... @dnds_ceu @ceu 1/7

Average day in AI discourse: - The big tech paper saying LLMs are harmless toys, - The influencer claiming LLMs are an existential threat.

The lovely Netplace people and their wonderful energy and ideas created some great opportunities for connections and engagement. It was really nice to work with them!
