Finishing the complexity satellite at #CCS2025, @justinyinnl.bsky.social proposes a data-based approach to approximate the amount of information we need in order to tackle criminal problems from a network science perspective. Some of his insights are that ABM and agentic systems may help.

Happy to share this long-overdue project! We found that many real-world event sequences follow a surprisingly similar hierarchically structured pattern, and that multi-timescale memory mechanisms can explain this pattern. Feedback welcome!

Hierarchical organization of bursty trains in event sequences
Temporal sequences of discrete events that describe natural and social processes are often driven by non-Poisson dynamics. In addition to a heavy-tailed interevent time distribution, which primarily c...

I have covered presidential politics for 40 years. This was the most juvenile display by a President and Vice President I have ever seen. Other presidents treated their enemies with more respect. This is a low point and a dark day for the US. Totally embarrassing.

We examine how knowledge silos in newsrooms create barriers to responsible AI adoption. When teams operate in isolation, AI tools can be introduced without proper ethical and editorial oversight, weakening accountability.

How do autocrats stay in power?
Our new research dives into the strategies of political control—repression, co-optation, and indoctrination—used across 229 autocracies from 1946 to 2010. What we found will change the way you think about authoritarian resilience. 🧵👇
