A bit late to the party, but I want to introduce a pet project of mine—and my first single-author paper! 🎉

It tackles something that has quietly frustrated me for years: how we measure the similarity of two clusterings/community structures.

Nano Banana Pro unbelievably lowers the entry barrier for people interested in creating short Manga. This blog post describes the recipe (in Japanese). I get this Manga version of my lecture note on the position encoding in transformers, **in the first shot** 😮.

I'm looking for a PhD student to join my lab at UAlbany for Fall 2026!

We are data scientists studying the creation, flow, and impact of information. How do scientists collaborate? How does AI shape information access? What drives local innovation?

Want to answer these questions? details below!

🚨 New paper on ArXiv:

“Uncertainty quantification and posterior sampling for network reconstruction”

TL;DR; We present an efficient method to sample the entire ensemble of possible network reconstructions that are compatible with an indirect observation, e.g. a dynamics.

TLDR: communities are undetectable even if they are because of the variabilities of network topology. We look further into edge weights, showing that a higher variability in edge weights makes communities harder to be detected. Our results inform when to use edge weights and better edge reweighing.

Is #innovation born or made? Why do some places keep innovating while others fall behind? Is innovation the product of cities—or of deeper laws?

Our new paper in npj Complexity explores these questions through the lens of a century of US patent data.🧵👇

Snakemake is essential for reproducible research—it organizes code, and acts as my second brain about code and data relations.

A downside is its maintenance cost. It can be easily convoluted as a project progresses. This tool might resolve that.

I've been playing with Ollama Cloud that has a free cloud Qwen 3 Vision Language model, which is surprisingly good. I put together a small app that automatically renames screenshot files based on their content, which has been super helpful for organizing them.

I'd love to see someone try to estimate just how much time and money has gone into research that is either fully undermined by reliance on LLMs or fully pointless --- because obvious if you start from an understanding of what LLMs actually are.

That's a great project to learn how LLMs are trained. $100 is not cheap but the cost to train LLMs comes down to the realm where I can try (just for fun).

This was a fun talk to give. Our new results show that "Meta-learning optimizes predictions of missing links in real-world networks" (arxiv.org/abs/2508.09069). tl;dr: graph neural networks are a limited tool for predicting missing links in most networks

One of the time-consuming tasks in paper writing is to curate bibtex for references. So I automated bibtex curation with an Alfred app that fetches entries from dx.doi.org using DOI or title. It saves time, reduces errors, and maintains consistent LaTeX keys. github.com/skojaku/tobi...
