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.

6/n last but not least: Marzio di Vece presenting "Assessing (in)balance in signed brain networks"

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

1/n Jana Diesner is our first keynote with a talk on Natural Language Processing to extract and enhance network data.

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

FRIENDS satellite had just started! @signet-friends.bsky.social @asteixeira.bsky.social @miguelagoncas.bsky.social @fernandodiazdiaz.bsky.social @netsciconf.bsky.social

Jana Diesner, our first Keynote has just started! Join us for the @signet-friends.bsky.social in the room FSE C1.005 !

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

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

🔍 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!

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

🎙️ Kicking off our FRIENDS Satellite tomorrow with an exciting keynote by Jana Diesner! Don’t miss this deep dive into her insights on how to use natural language processing to study signed networks — a perfect start to a day full of signed networks!

📢 Due to unforeseen circumstances, our keynote speaker Tiago P. Peixoto will unfortunately not be able to join us at the Friends Satellite. Stay tuned for updates and final details coming soon.

🛰️ 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
