Fantastic keynote by @lauraknelson.bsky.social
Day 2 Keynotes kicked off with Laura Nelson's inspiring presentation, “Why Qualitative Research Needs Computational Social Science”. What is the state of this maturing field called qualitative computational methods? What are the ongoing debates and futures? #ic2s2

[edit with right link] New report where we construct and analyse a population-scale (multilayer) social network for Sweden: "Anatomy of a Swedish population-scale network", available here: osf.io/preprints/so... This allows us to relate social network features with other socio-demographic variables.

In this new publication we propose and compare algorithmic approaches to efficiently process networks where edge existence is uncertain, e.g. because of imperfect data collection. "On the accurate computation of expected modularity in probabilistic networks", Sci.Reports arxiv.org/abs/2408.07161
On the accurate computation of expected modularity in probabilistic networks
Modularity is one of the most widely used measures for evaluating communities in networks. In probabilistic networks, where the existence of edges is uncertain and uncertainty is represented by probab...
