This week we had the pleasure to host our colleagues and friends from Università della Calabria. @luciolcw.bsky.social delivered a well-attended intensive course on Large Language Models, and Andrea Tagarelli presented the research done by his team. We look forward to new collaborations.

[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.

New publication, where we look at climate change communication on YouTube via API research, channel coding, and computational image analysis.
