Fast unfolding of communities in large networks: 15 years later

The Louvain method was proposed 15 years ago as a heuristic method for the fast detection of communities in large networks. During this period, it has emerged as one of the most popular methods for community detection: the task of partitioning vertices of a network into dense groups, usually called communities or clusters. Here, after a short introduction to the method, we give an overview of the different generalizations, modifications and improvements that have been proposed in the literature, and also survey the quality functions, beyond modularity, for which it has been implemented. Finally, we conclude with a discussion on the limitations of the method and perspectives for future research.

Where postdoctoral journeys lead?
https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.03938

The prestige of a PhD-granting institution is well known for influencing faculty hiring and career progression in American academia. But what about the postdoc stage—what impact does it have on shaping academic careers globally?

Based on the data*, high-impact publications and mobility with a little twist over the research topic during the postdoc are key to enhancing your academic career. Surprisingly, the prestige of the institution you move to is less influential than expected. So, regardless of your success in PhD, your odds improve by making moderate shifts in research focus and location with significant shifts in publication quality.

*: The authors used a comprehensive dataset by combining publication records from the Microsoft Academic Graph (MAG) with career data from a major online professional network. Spanning 25 years and encompassing 45,572 careers from various disciplines, the dataset specifically examines the influence of postdoctoral experiences on early academic success—considering factors like relocation, topic change, and early high-impact publications.

On the foundations of statistical mechanics
https://arxiv.org/abs/2411.08709

The Department of Statistics and Data Science at Carnegie Mellon University invites applicants for a two-year #postdoc fellowship in simulation-based inference. The fellow will work with Prof. Cosma Shalizi of the department on developing theory, algorithms and applications of random feature methods in simulation-based inference, with a particular emphasis on social-scientific problems connected to the work of CMU's Institute for Complex Social Dynamics. Apart from by the supervisor, the fellow will also be mentored by other faculty in the department and the ICSD, depending on their interests and secondary projects, and will get individualized training in both technical and non-technical professional skills.

Successful applicants will have completed a Ph.D. in Statistics, or a related quantitative discipline, by September 2025, and ideally have a strong background in non-convex and stochastic optimization and/or Monte Carlo methods, and good programming and communication skills. Prior familiarity with simulation-based inference, social network models and agent-based modeling will be helpful, but not necessary.

پیشنهادهایی برای دانشجویان تحصیلات تکمیلی
به‌ویژه برای سیستم‌های پیچیده و علم شبکه

تجربه من از دوران کارشناسی ارشد سیستم‌های پیچیده در دانشگاه شهید بهشتی و دکتری علوم کامپیوتر در دانشگاه آلتو چیزهای مختلفی بهم یاد داد. شاید بعضی از این تجربه‌ها به کار شما هم بیاد اگر که به تازگی دوران کارشناسی ارشد یا دکتری خودتون رو در زمینه سیستم‌های پیچیده شروع کرده باشید.
