Networks & agents Networks
NaN is a research group exploring the modeling, simulation, and analysis of complex social and information networks, and the human and artificial agents who live in these networks. Broadly speaking our research spans network science, data science, web science, and computational social science.
We are modeling the dynamic processes that occur online (how information networks evolve, how memes go viral, how people and algorithms are vulnerable to abuse on social media, how bad actors can expoit AI to manipulate communities, etc.) and on the design of tools to make the Web and social media ‘better’ (more trustworthy, less polarized, more robust, and so on). Please refer to the Observatory on Social Media (OSoMe, pronounced “awesome”) for more information about our research and related tools.
