The EATH model for realistic hypergraphs generation is out! ✨

Marco Mancastroppa @marco-mancastroppa.bsky.social · Jul 3

New preprint out! 📣

“Emerging Activity Temporal Hypergraph (EATH), a model for generating realistic time-varying hypergraphs” with @giuliacencetti.bsky.social and @alainbarrat.bsky.social

arxiv.org/abs/2507.01124

How can we generate realistic time-varying hypergraphs?

Emerging Activity Temporal Hypergraph (EATH), a model for generating realistic time-varying hypergraphs

Time-varying group interactions constitute the building blocks of many complex systems. The framework of temporal hypergraphs makes it possible to represent them by taking into account the higher-orde...

Now out our new preprint “Higher-order dissimilarity measures for hypergraph comparison”!

With Cosimo Agostinelli and @alainbarrat.bsky.social

We extend to hypergraphs similarity measures defined previously only on pairwise networks.

Higher-order dissimilarity measures for hypergraph comparison

In recent years, networks with higher-order interactions have emerged as a powerful tool to model complex systems. Comparing these higher-order systems remains however a challenge. Traditional similar...
