🚨new preprint !!

How to describe, forecast or control the dynamics of temporal networks? A possible approach includes using fluid mechanical data-driven tools such as #POD and #DMD.

After lunch, we have begun with Lucas Lacasa (@wetuad.bsky.social) who is introducing the use of #federated #learning as implementable solutions for cross-institutional problems. Highlighting industry applications of quantifying #emergence.

🚨New preprint !!

Interpreting the training process of a neural network as a temporal network trajectory, we found a regime where such trajectory becomes chaotic. Rather than a nuisance, such chaotic mixing boosts training!

Leveraging chaos in the training of artificial neural networks
Traditional algorithms to optimize artificial neural networks when confronted with a supervised learning task are usually exploitation-type relaxational dynamics such as gradient descent (GD). Here, w...

🚨 Just published !!

How to extract a *scalar time series* that accurately captures the dynamics of a whole temporal network ?

#netsci2025 too bad I missed you.

We investigated how deep brain stimulation (DBS) of the nucleus accumbens (NAc) affects memory. www.nature.com/npp/

Title: NAc-DBS selectively enhances memory updating without effect on retrieval

We have looked at how 🧠evolves in graph space. We found that their network trajectories characterize well aging and brain pathologies. Details 👇

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU.

It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵

So @naturecomms.bsky.social has highlighted our research home @ifisc.uib-csic.es as an institutional model for interdisciplinary science!

🚨 New preprint out!

We build **scalar** time series embeddings of temporal networks !

The key enabling insight : the relevant feature of each network snapshot... is just its distance to every other snapshot!
