Section outline

Have you enjoyed the ACN course so much that you are considering a thesis on related subjects? Great!
Here are a few ideas we would like to work on... of course you can also propose something new and completely different!
- Mental Health in Online Social Media
- Fake News, Echo Chamber, Polarization
- Cognitive Network Science
- Feature-rich network modeling
- NDlib: modeling competing diffusion processes
- NDlib: definition of novel diffusion models tailored for specific scenarios (e.g., fake news, opinion dynamics...)
- CDlib: a comparative analysis of Community Discovery algorithms
- CDlib: definition of novel community discovery approaches for dynamic/multiplex/feature-rich networks
- XAI: Explaining Community Discovery Algorithms
- DyNetX: a library for modeling and studying dynamic network topologies
- Graph Embedding: representing (static|dynamic) networks in low dimensional space to support prediction and clustering
- High Order Networks: studying and modeling high-order temporal networks
A thesis can focus either on the definition of a new model/algorithm or on the usage of complex network analysis methodologies as tools for studying specific phenomena.
