🧠 IFISC researchers, Lucas Lacasa and Lluís Arola Fernández, discover how collective learning emerges in neural networks. ➡️The study, published in the journal Physical Review Research, shows that this phenomenon emerges abruptly, through phase transitions. 🔗ifisc.uib-csic.es/en/news/ifisc-…

🚨 New preprint out! We build **scalar** time series embeddings of temporal networks ! The key enabling insight : the relevant feature of each network snapshot... is just its distance to every other snapshot! Work w/ FJ Marín, N. Masuda, Lluís Arola Fernández arxiv.org/abs/2412.02715

So Nature Communications has highlighted our research home IFISC (UIB-CSIC) as an institutional model for interdisciplinary science! Congrats @MaxiSanMiguel for your vision, Emilio Hernandez-Garcia for keeping the momentum and kudos all at IFISC. And thanks Apostolos Argyris for leading this!

How to describe the dynamical properties of networks *with no labels* that change over time ? 🆕 preprint (with Lisa Caligiuri Tobias Galla (also on BlueSky) ) arxiv.org/abs/2412.14864

Seems like... so long ago...

Today, we are publishing the first-ever International AI Safety Report, backed by 30 countries and the OECD, UN, and EU. It summarises the state of the science on AI capabilities and risks, and how to mitigate those risks. 🧵 Link to full Report: assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/679a0c48… 1/16

Hiring a postdoc in higher-order social dynamics: we will be doing models AND experiments (!) 36k/year renewable up to 3 yrs. In Barcelona, of course ;) Please RT! upf.edu/web/wssc/postd…

We have looked at how 🧠evolves in graph space. We found that their network trajectories characterize well aging and brain pathologies. Details 👇

🚨New preprint !! Interpreting the training process of a neural network as a temporal network trajectory, we found a regime where such trajectory becomes chaotic. Rather than a nuisance, such chaotic mixing boosts training! w/ P. Jiménez, Miguel C. Soriano arxiv.org/abs/2506.08523
