Thrilled to share my latest paper arxiv.org/abs/2512.046..., accepted at PRE! It challenges a critical assumption from network science : that networks are built bottom-up from nodes. In many spatially embedded networks, this is simply not true : networks are built upon lines and nodes only happen...

Siena, science, and so much inspiration. Delighted to present my research on news media analysis at #CCS2025 Computational Social Science satellite. Viva Italia! 🇮🇹 @css-conference.bsky.social @chub-fbk.bsky.social

Also seen yesterday at @css-conference.bsky.social a work on reinforcement learning applied to ants behaviour by Alessio Pitteri, our study of the historical evolution of EU projects by @verorsanigo.bsky.social and the study on Coordinated Behavior by @elisamurators.bsky.social #CCS2025

Wide coverage of social media and disinformation analysis yesterday from our lab at the @css-conference.bsky.social, with four talks presenting our works associate to the European projects #AI4TRUST #AICODE_EU #HATEDEMICS

New pre-print out ! Work led by @eleandre.bsky.social, in collaboration with M. Napolitano and @ricgallotti.bsky.social. Using Foursquare data from Bologna, we find that the distribution of POIs follows a clear power-law pattern at the city scale. To explain this, we introduce a framework where ...

Finishing the social media session, @tlouf.bsky.social explores Telegram as a weighted, directed temporal network. His methodology reveals clustering, burstiness, and assortativity, all of them phenomena that are relevant when building reliable agent-based models. #CCS2025

Just me pointing at prioritized communities at @css-conference.bsky.social. Great journey, so far. 🍉 ❓Presentation: Multilevel pipeline for tackling potential disinformative content in YouTube. 👥 @jordicondomtibau.bsky.social @ricgallotti.bsky.social @chub-fbk.bsky.social

Thrilled to share that I just gave my first-ever scientific conference talk at @css-conference.bsky.social! I presented our work "MarkedTemporalPointProcesses for simulating and capturing coordinated behaviour" on enhancing disinformation detection. Huge thanks to my supervisors and the audiance!☀️

If you're at #CCS25 and are interested in human mobility and inequalities, at 11:30 in Room 149 I will talk of experienced segregation. This is a work we started at the @complexity72h.bsky.social workshop last year. Take a look at the preprint and see you there 🙂 🔗 arxiv.org/abs/2407.01799
