Data collection & preprocessing
Methodologies to gather real-world data and turn it into graphs ready for analysis.
Hands-on MSc laboratory on building robust pipelines to analyse real-world complex systems represented as graphs: data collection and preprocessing, enriched network models, experimental evaluation and advanced Python libraries.
Understanding complex systems, whether social, biological or technological, is essential to tackle many of today’s challenges: reducing polarization and radicalization online, predicting high-frequency financial transactions, or understanding how proteins interact.
Building on the foundations of Social Network Analysis, this laboratory teaches students to design robust pipelines for the analysis of real-world systems represented as graphs. It is strongly hands-on: every concept is practised with advanced Python libraries for network analysis.
Methodologies to gather real-world data and turn it into graphs ready for analysis.
Models that extend the descriptive power and the practical applications of graphs.
Techniques to design experiments and assess their outcomes.
