David Lazer joined EconoFact Chats, a #podcast of the non-partisan, web-based publication EconoFact of the Fletcher School at Tufts University, to discuss the outcome of the 2024 Presidential election, the notable shifts in voting patterns, and the probability that these changes will endure.  Podcast episode transcript ▶️ https://lnkd.in/e8bkiwQq https://lnkd.in/eSYMd-6s

The data and analytics company #Clarivate released its annual list of Highly Cited Researcher 2024 and the Network Science Institute is well represented with two researchers - Albert-Laszlo Barabasi and Alessandro Vespignani! The list highlights the small number of researchers whose papers rank in the top 1% by citation in the Web of Science, Clarivate’s collection of journal citations, in the past decade. It also takes into account the diversity of research fields in which an author’s work has been cited. Congratulations to Professors Barabási and Vespignani, as well as all the other winners on this important recognition. https://lnkd.in/g2VPH5Jf

We are growing! This is an exciting time to join the Northeastern University Charlotte team! Northeastern University invites applications for two tenure-track positions in public health technology beginning in the academic year 2025-2026. One position will be in the field of network science and public health, broadly defined. The second position will be in the broad category of AI, data science, or health informatics in public health. Northeastern University is a leader in network science and AI and is home to the Network Science Institute and the Institute for Experiential AI at Northeastern University. Both positions will be located at Northeastern University’s campus in Charlotte, NC. Successful candidates will be appointed primarily in the Department of Public Health and Health Sciences at Northeastern University, Bouvé College of Health Sciences, with possible secondary appointments in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences or the Northeastern University College of Science, depending on research and/or teaching focus. Faculty members will be able to collaborate in cross-disciplinary teams across our Global University system. https://lnkd.in/guVp-fPT

⚡️New publication alert⚡️"Human-AI coevolution, defined as a process in which humans and AI algorithms continuously influence each other, increasingly characterizes our society, but is understudied in artificial intelligence and complexity science literature." This paper "introduces human-AI coevolution as the cornerstone for a new field of study at the intersection between AI and complexity science focused on the theoretical, empirical, and mathematical investigation of the human-AI feedback loop." #Coauthors 👉 Northeastern University and Network Science Institute: Ricardo Baeza-Yates, Albert-Laszlo Barabasi, Tina Eliassi-Rad, Alessandro Vespignani and colleagues from other institutions: Dino Pedreschi, Luca Pappalardo, #EmanueleFerragina, Frank Dignum, Virginia Dignum, Fosca Giannotti, Janos Kertesz, Alistair Knott, Yannis Ioannidis, Paul Lukowicz, Andrea Passarella, Alex 'Sandy' Pentland, John Shawe-Taylor https://lnkd.in/eFMKFBQm
