📢 New preprint out!
Mobility data are used to study human behavior, but biases in population representativeness can affect downstream analyses.
We introduce BePop, a framework to calibrate mobile phone GPS data not only demographically, but also behaviorally.

Deadline: August 22nd, 2025, hrs. 04:00 PM (CEST)
We introduce a real-time method to infer individual unemployment using GPS trajectories and survey data. By analyzing mobility patterns of ~1 million individuals before and after job loss we reveal a sustained contraction in exploration that deepens with time since job loss.
🚀Job loss disrupts individuals’ mobility and their exploratory patterns🚀
Thanks to a great collaboration with @denadai2, @marcotonin, @brulepri and @LucchiniLorenzo our latest study is finally out in iScience!

Prevedere i movimenti umani è cruciale ma l’IA fatica quando usciamo dalla routine
Una ricerca @FBK_research - @CNRsocial_ su @PNASNews propone algoritmo che unisce intelligenza individuale e collettiva per anticipare anche gli spostamenti “imprevedibili”

Faithfulness of GNN explanations isn’t one-size-fits-all🧢
Our last @iclr_conf paper breaks it down across:
1. Evaluation metrics
2. Model implementations
3. OOD generalisation

🙏to the editors and the amazing team for the hard work!
New @NatureHumBehav paper tracks mobility to reveal surprisingly long-distance dependencies between businesses. These insights could improve policy to bolster neighborhood economies and help business owners see how closures elsewhere might impact them
