🎓 La tesis de Rodrigo Martínez-Peña (Reservoir computing in quantum systems), dirigida por Roberta Zambrini y Miguel C. Soriano (@miguelcsoriano.bsky.social), ha sido premiada en los III Premios #TesisDoctoralRelevante del @csic.es. ¡Enhorabuena! 🔗 ifisc.uib-csic.es/es/news/iii-...

Ayer tuvimos el honor de celebrar el acto de entrega de la I edición de los Premios DIFENSC de tesis doctorales. ✨❄️ ¡Enhorabuena de nuevo a los ganadores Guillermo Barrios Morales y Jorge Tabanera Bravo! 🏅 Gracias a la fundación Sicómoro por hacerlo posible.

🎤 We’re thrilled to announce our next #WWCS26 speaker: Carmen Cabrera, Lecturer in Geographic Data Science at the University of Liverpool. Camren's research focuses on human mobility patterns across spatiotemporal scales and population groups. We look forward to meeting her at Mallorca ❄️🌍

This week I travelled to the island of Ons in Galicia. An amazing natural reserve in the middle of the Atlantic. ⛵🗺️

Bernat Corominas-Murtra will be teaching a course on "The beautiful complexity of the developmental process" 🐣🐁🪰 during CS3 program. More info: www.crm.cat/summer-schoo...

Me muero de calor

It's so frustrating that symmetric graphs always have degenerate spectra. Why do I have to choose between graphs that look nice and graphs that behave properly? I want both :(

Mediterranean School of Complex Networks Signed networks to understand social systems by Sofia Teixeira @mscxnetworks.bsky.social

It’s happening. BRAN Lab is here, my first research group. We explore how and why we connect (and disconnect), using network science, signed networks, ML, and cognitive modeling: from minds to systems, humans to AI, mental health to epidemic prevention. andreiasofiateixeira.com/branlab/

After one night in Palma, I am already missing the temperatures in Madrid.

Leyendo a Millás y Arsuaga, me encuentro que las ideas de sistemas complejos han llegado hasta la arqueología y la literatura. Eso sí, la definición de Arsuaga se deja fuera aspectos como la heterogeneidad de las interacciones, la existencia de parámetros irrelevantes en comportamientos macro, etc

Our next keynote at #Fises2025 is by José Cuesta on entropy and evolutionary dynamics: where Darwin meets Boltzmann. #StatisticalPhysics #EvolutionaryDynamics

We end the second day of #fises2025 with three contributed talks by Pablo Moreno-Spiegelberg, José Vilar, and Alex Giménez Romero, and an invited talk by Saúl Ares about the physics of bacterial conjugación.

Good morning from Day 2 of #Fises2025! We begin with a keynote by Cristina Masoller: “Nonlinear data analysis tools for complex systems research”. 🔍📊 #NonlinearDynamics #ComplexSystems

Happy to present my latest article in @physreve.bsky.social ! In this paper, I show that the Voter Model can predict individual opinions in a large, heterogeneous online population. doi.org/10.1103/Phys...

Today I broke my record of amount of paperwork to get a conference trip refunded. The previous record was an astonishing 14 PDFs, but this was shattered by today's 17 PDFs 🤯🎊. Congratulations to all the regulations and normatives that worked so hard to achieve this amazing record. 🎉🎉

Reviewing a submitted research paper and asessing some student projects. The students' reports are of better quality than the research paper. My lecturer side is so proud of the students, but my researcher side is not so happy hahaha

Si un ingeniero ha tenido problemas para resolver el examen de mates de Selectividad, honestamente eso dice más del ingeniero que del examen 😶😶

Today at #NetSci2025, I will talk in the signed networks parallel session about... Signed networks! 👉16:30 | “Signed graphs in data sciences via communicability geometry” 💥 There will be a cool mix of networks, geometry, matrix theory, and data analysis :)

And this is was a wrap of the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite in its first edition at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! 60+ attended and engaged with the amazing lineup of speakers.

BRAN Lab + Friends 🙌🏼

Thank you all for attending and kudos to the next generation of researchers for all the work in the co-organization! @elenacandellone.bsky.social @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social @miguelagoncas.bsky.social 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Packed room and still people coming for the FRIENDS (signet-friends.github.io) satellite at @netsciconf.bsky.social ! Thank you all 🙌🏼

1/8 How do networks of social relationships evolve over time? This evolution is driven by a complex interplay of cognitive, emotional, and social factors. It’s only natural to assume that such complexity would make this dynamics highly unpredictable. But…

5/n the second contributed talk is by Louis Boucherie, on Signed Latent Relational Distance Model for analysing signed networks

4/n then we continue with contributed talks: Tim Evans with a talk "From Signed Networks to Group Graphs"

3/n Samin Aref is our third keynote speaker with a talk on Integer programming models for optimization-based clustering and analysis of networks

2/n Renaud Lambiotte is our second keynote with a talk on Structural balance beyond signed networks

Now we have the one and only Renaud Lambiotte at @signet-friends.bsky.social, who will talk about structural balance beyond signed networks.

Kickstarting the FRIENDS satellite @signet-friends.bsky.social with a keynote by Jana Diesner exploring the connections between signed networks and natural language processing.

Now Fernando Diaz-Diaz shows us the effectiveness of signed networks in order to model echo chambers applied to US polarization. Interestingly, he has found that less propagation of information can reduce echo chamber effects. #UNCSS2025 #NetSci2025

See you this afternoon at FSE for the FRIENDS satellite :)

🔍 Interested in the structure of signed networks? Join us tomorrow at the FRIENDS Satellite for our last keynote on balance theory, integer programming, and clustering in signed and unsigned networks, with ‪‪@samin.mas.to.ap.brid.gy‬!

How on Earth has the Dutch Government gotten access to my phone (and that of everyone else in the room) to use it as a fire alarm?! 😂😂

🎙️ Tomorrow at the FRIENDS Satellite: Join us to hear Renaud Lambiotte exploring structural balance beyond the classical framework!

🛰️ Just a few days left until our FRIENDS Satellite at NetSci! Join us for a deep dive into structure, dynamics, and applications of signed networks. 🔗 signet-friends.github.io @asteixeira.bsky.social @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social @elenacandellone.bsky.social @miguelagoncas.bsky.social

Calendar event: calendar.app.google/DZXeT6g1g3rY... A good way to remember when and where to go to hear more about signed networks :) Thanks to the other organizers, @asteixeira.bsky.social , @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social , @miguelagoncas.bsky.social

Getting ready for NetSci25? @netsciconf.bsky.social Too many interesting satellites and parallel sessions? You might want to remember two satellites (that, btw, I'm happy to be one of the co-organizers eheh):

I was recently introduced to signed networks at the Lake Como summer school through a talk by ‪@asteixeira.bsky.social and found it super interesting‬. Really looking forward to this satellite!

One week till NetSci! And for the first time (that I know of), with a satellite completely focusing on signed networks 🫢 @signet-friends.bsky.social

Planteándome seriamente matricularme en alguna asignatura de derecho fiscal para poder entender qué dice mi declaración de la renta

Oye, pues hoy me han aprobado el trienio, y justo una hora después me han mandado un email electoral diciendo que entre otras cosas, este equipo directivo ha reconocido por primera vez los trienios a doctorandos. Casualidad?

El Museo del Prado abrirá sus puertas la noche del sábado 3 de mayo. Se podrá visitar "El Greco. Santo Domingo el Antiguo" y la primera planta: "Las meninas" de Velázquez, "El lavatorio" de Tintoretto o "David vencedor de Goliat", de Caravaggio www.museodelprado.es/actualidad/n... #ElPradodeNoche

Heck yes! Toy models in Neuroscience!! onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... (Currently reading Strogatz's classic book "Sync" - and love it!!)

Today I teach Black-Scholes, I'm excited

Sé que esto es como decir misa al que ya cree, pero esta frase me ha hecho pensar de nuevo en el sistema actual de publicación. Veo todo el rato evaluaciones sobre el "impacto", "timeliness", etc, de proyectos y papers, pero no tantas veces la pregunta de "qué pruebas hay de que X sea cierto"...

Back home. And with typical Galician weather.

Here's a nice "proof without words": The sum of the squares of several positive values can never be bigger than the square of their sum. This picture helps make sense of how ℓ₁ and ℓ₂ norms regularize and sparsify solutions (resp.). [1/n]

Anda, si yo creía que se había muerto!
