The other day, four Québécois gentlemen put out an arxiv preprint about one of my favorite topics*—algorithms for network epidemiology. In this blog post, I will try to lure you into: (1) Reading their manuscript. (2) Thinking about network-epi algorithm design. (3) Using my code for SIR (and theirs for SIS). *As a problem-solving exercise, […]

Crazy fast code for SIR on temporal networks
Now I turned this blog post into a paper. This is a follow-up to my post a couple of days ago about all the nitty-gritty when coding up a compartmental model for empirical temporal networks. I guess the question lingering is: How do you do it then? There are a very straightforward way and an […]
The man-machine battle moves beyond the board
Korea is, in general, a TV-friendly country. Regular restaurants have sets continuously showing soap operas, news, or reality shows. The surprise for the last two days was that my lunch restaurants were showing a board game. Students all over campus were watching it too. Baduk (a.k.a. go) is a quite popular TV entertainment, but very […]
