Block-corrected modularity for community detection
Unknown node attributes in complex networks may introduce community structures that are important to distinguish from those driven by known attributes. We propose a block-corrected modularity that dis...

When you have network data with node metadata, how can you use them to improve community detection? One way is to make the communities align with the metadata. In our new preprint, we propose another way: to discount the effects of the metadata from the detected communities. arxiv.org/abs/2502.20083

Excited to share our new preprint: "Incivility and Contentiousness Spillover between COVID-19 and Climate Science Engagement." We examine how affective polarisation surrounding COVID spilled over into climate change discussions on Twitter and Reddit in 2019-2021. @tedhchen.com @hastinz.bsky.social
Incivility and Contentiousness Spillover between COVID-19 and Climate Science Engagement
Affective polarization and its accompanying cleavage-based sorting drives incivility and contentiousness around climate change and other science-related issues. Looking at the COVID-19 period, we stud...
