  • My interview about the Coronavirus at "Jornal da USP".



  • Professor Yamir Moreno, from University of Zaragoza, visited us in the last week of November to discuss current and new projects.
  • Complexity, the science of the 21st century
    Great talk by my friend Yamir Moreno @cosnet_bifi today at @icmc_usp. Students enjoyed a lot! Thank you Yamir for visiting us. Looking forward for our next meeting. Have a nice trip back to Zaragoza! pic.twitter.com/sCekgPXLBt

    Old, but still important. This was the first paper to use machine learning to study networks. In this review, we included the most important measures for network characterization at that time. In Google Scholar, we have reached a milestone: more than 2,000 citations! #networks https://t.co/NoqptuiDVe
