Social networks play central roles in disseminating information and influencing public opinion, but it remains difficult to understand the rise of social media influencers. To know more, see our recent work in @NatureComms! https://t.co/LR9Gfj5RGO @wenjun_mei @florian_dorfler

@san_chowdhary @fede7j @iacopoiacopini @SciReports @dnds_ceu @ceu Interesting reading! Watch out, I guess axis labels are switched in Fig. 2b. Maybe it can be corrected because I got quite confused when interpreting the figure (despite me playing chess!)

@aleszubajak @USATODAY @urbaninstitute Super glad for you! Congratulations!!!

Are #socialnetworks' #recommendationsystems #fair? We recently discussed this at the @EANANews conference on #socialmedia #trends of the #young generations. Thanks to my collaborators @florian_dorfler, @wenjun_mei, @ancsaaa3, and funds @nccr_automation. https://t.co/EtPy2rgxhW

In 2013, I was asked to contribute to a collection of essays on the theme, "What should we be worried about?" This was my answer at the time.

[ETH Zurich @ETH_en]

A team of researchers of the @UZH_en, ETH Zurich and the @nccr_automation, investigated how social media #influencers arise and how communities form around them. The results may lead to measures that mitigate the polarization that occurs on the platforms. https://t.co/nqqbXGF6vW

Two years of planning, meeting, negotiating, discussing, writing. This Master aims to provide all the notions of #SNA I wish I had access to when I first fell in love with this perspective. Interdisciplinary, multi-methods, and a lot, lot of fun!

My colleague Jon Kleinberg and his coauthors trained a chess engine to play more like a human. It learned what kinds of mistakes human players make at specific skill levels, as well as the level of skill where they stop making them. https://t.co/Nyn6xAGe08
