Recording of Network Science Society Colloquium Series Petter Holme

Network Science Colloquium Series, 11/20/2024 Petter Holme Understanding the World through networks in time: From structuralism to graph learning The recursive idea that things get their functionality from how they are connected to other things connects many branches of the social, natural, and formal sciences, From the structuralism of last-century social science via network science to today's graph-based machine learning. If one also knows when the interactions happen, one should have more information and get a better understanding of the system—but how should one extract, visualize, and theorize this type of data? I will present how these ideas have developed throughout the last 150 years and connect them to my own research on temporal networks of social interactions, human mobility, network epidemiology, link predictions, and more.
