🚨CAN GENERATIVE AI IMPROVE SOCIAL SCIENCE?🚨 I spent the last year trying to answer this question with the help of some very thoughtful reviewers (and editors) for the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (ungated) : pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Economic complexity applied to the US Skill-Job occupational network 🧑‍🔬👨‍🌾👷‍♀️ Check out my last work with Sabrina Aufiero, Angelica Sbardella and Andrea Zaccaria! nature.com/articles/s4159…

🌺springtime in Vienna🌼 How can large language models power research? At Complexity Science Hub psychologists, sociologists, computational social scientists, computer scientists, and mathematicians discuss the challenges and opportunities of #LLMs. Inspiration blooms in our garden today.

AI alignment steers AI toward human goals & values. In a recent perspective piece, we draw attention to a fundamental challenge with all such endeavors: the “AI alignment paradox”—better-aligned models are more easily misaligned. 📝arxiv.org/pdf/2405.20806 👇Example below👇

I am excited to start my research group "Computational Social Science" at the Center Synergy of Systems (synosys.github.io) with Dirk Brockmann and the Center for Interdisci­plinary Digital Sciences at TU Dresden, beginning this fall! I will be hiring, job ads below👇

It was a pleasure 😇 to share my recent work IC2S2 in #Philadelphia: A method to infer the structure of psychological constructs using a mixed methods approach. Stay tuned for more details in the soon to be published paper 📄👀 Spoiler: osf.io/preprints/psya…

🤖 What's the maximal scale of an LLM populated society? Can LLMs self organise and reach consensus? If you missed my #CCS2024 talk, check out our latest preprint with David Garcia for insights! Special thanks to Diogo Pires for the photo 📸 arxiv.org/abs/2409.02822

This was my first time attending CCS and it has been great💥. I am very honored to have received one of the poster awards, it is indeed the best closure for my recent paper about Signed Networks and Online Polarization. Check it out here: doi.org/10.1093/pnasne…!

Kicking off a new edition of the Master in Computational Social Sciences UC3M with Prof. David Garcia (Uni Konstanz): “Computational Social Science: From Digital Traces to Generative Agents.” What a great start to the course!

In our @WWTF project on emotions & misinfo, @lue_jula has put a lot of effort into figuring out how to best measure news trustworthiness at scale. In our new preprint led by Jula, we describe the most used tool and best practices for source-based misinfo research. Have a look!

Our research with David Garcia and Claudio Castellano on LLM societies has been featured in New Scientist! Discover how AIs can self-organize and reach consensus in larger groups than humans ever could in our latest preprint arxiv.org/abs/2409.02822

If you haven't applied, how do you plan on enjoying your winter? Nothing beats this!

Join us for the first Computational Social Sciences conference BSC-CNS on innovative methods, research workflows, and data stewardship, co-organized with CODATA and Fundación ”la Caixa” codata.org/events/confere… with a keynote by 🇺🇦 [email protected] and a fantastic program.

Happy to distribute the call for applications to the 9th Edition of the Lake Como School on Networks and their applications, see ntmi.lakecomoschool.org. Don't miss the opportunity to learn from our great speakers! Application deadline: February 16th, 2025.

Would you like to (re)define psychological constructs data-driven, yet standardized? We David Garcia propose a new method to reveal constructs from semi-structured text using computational techniques. Follow the Construct Mining Pipeline here or on doi.org/10.1037/met000… 🧵 1/14

We just opened a new team leader position at the Computational Social Science department at GESIS @gesisorg.bsky.social please spread the news and contact me or Sebastian Stier for questions hidden-professionals.de/HPv3.Jobs/gesi…

One of my favorite projects to work on! Collaborating with Segun Aroyehun, Filippo, Enrico Fenoaltea, and Andrea Tacchella, we secured 2nd place in a competition with over 50 teams. Explore the patent and technology landscape to uncover future innovations: patents-visualization.onrender.com
