Complex Networks Analysis

Last updated on Feb 8, 2022

This work focuses on the analysis of social networks or interaction networks in order to detect communities or behaviours. Temporal evolution of interactions and communities is a major concern.

The main research axis of this topic is the analysis of community dynamics. We are particularly interested in the following challenges:

detection of temporal communities
detection of evolution patterns
description of the evolution of community structures
2D tools for visualizing the evolution of communities

More broadly, this theme also focuses mechanisms of information propagation within social networks. The influence of network topology and the nature of the messages carried on the propagation of information is studied.

We have many fields of application for this work: crowdfunding study, echo chambers detection in community platforms, influence of interactions on the quality of student learning but also the study of the dynamics of biological networks.

Associate Professor

Laurent BRISSON received a Ph.D degree in Computer Science from Université Nice Sophia-Antipolis (France) in 2006. His work focuses on the analysis of social networks along two axes: information dissemination and the detection of temporal communities.
