🏆 Excited to share that our team received the Best Data Challenge Award at #NetMob2025 in Paris! 🏆
"On the Relationship between Space-Time Accessibility and Leisure Activity Participation"
Stay tuned for our preprint.

We must come to terms with the fact that it was a huge mistake to leave the online world largely unchecked, and that we urgently need to deal with a fragmented, radicalized and instrumentalized reality in many countries simultaneously and take action instead of remaining in shock or relativization.

Extremely excited about this *new preprint*, where we use a collective field experiment with our own subreddits, which allowed us to uncover diverging factors for online participation between the very active and the passive. More details by the (as usual) *amazing* lead @lfoswaldo.bsky.social below👇

This is insane

How do major real-world events shape online conversations?
With Anna Mancini, @giuliocimini.bsky.social @ric-dicle.bsky.social we found that while activity surges, users repeat the same ideas at an accelerating pace, limiting meaningful discussions.

Characterizing Model Collapse in Large Language Models Using Semantic Networks and Next-Token Probability As synthetic content increasingly infiltrates the web, generative AI models may experience an autophagy process, where they are fine-tuned using their own outputs. This autophagy could lead to a pheno...

On the last Friday of each month, we host the Last Fridays Talks, where one of our seven Collaboratories shares insights from their current work. Join us for a discussion on results and recent papers, followed by socializing afterward for anyone who wishes to attend.

End your January on a high note! Join us at the Pioneer Centre for AI for two thought-provoking talks and insightful discussions.

1) Large-Scale Network Embeddings by Christian Djurhuus
2) Measuring polarization by Mikko Kivelä
