👌 Graph-tool is an efficient Python module for manipulation and statistical analysis of graphs (a.k.a. networks). Contrary to most other python modules with similar functionality, the core data structures and algorithms are implemented in C++, making extensive use of template metaprogramming, based heavily on the Boost Graph Library. This confers it a level of performance that is comparable (both in memory usage and computation time) to that of a pure C/C++ library.

🔖 Typology of phase transitions in Bayesian inference problems

📌 ABSTRACT
Many inference problems, notably the stochastic block model (SBM) that generates a random graph with a hidden community structure, undergo phase transitions as a function of the signal-to-noise ratio, and can exhibit hard phases in which optimal inference is information-theoretically possible but computationally challenging. In this paper we refine this denoscription in two ways. In a qualitative perspective we emphasize the existence of more generic phase diagrams with a hybrid-hard phase in which it is computationally easy to reach a non-trivial inference accuracy, but computationally hard to match the information theoretically optimal one. We support this discussion by quantitative expansions of the functional cavity equations that describe inference problems on sparse graphs. These expansions shed light on the existence of hybrid-hard phases, for a large class of planted constraint satisfaction problems, and on the question of the tightness of the Kesten-Stigum (KS) bound for the associated tree reconstruction problem. Our results show that the instability of the trivial fixed point is not a generic evidence for the Bayes-optimality of the message passing algorithms. We clarify in particular the status of the symmetric SBM with 4 communities and of the tree reconstruction of the associated Potts model: in the assortative (ferromagnetic) case the KS bound is always tight, whereas in the disassortative (antiferromagnetic) case we exhibit an explicit criterion involving the degree distribution that separates a large degree regime where the KS bound is tight and a low degree regime where it is not. We also investigate the SBM with 2 communities of different sizes, a.k.a. the asymmetric Ising model, and describe quantitatively its computational gap as a function of its asymmetry. We complement this study with numerical simulations of the Belief Propagation iterative algorithm.

🏦 Facebook reported that the effective diameter (covering 90% of all pairs of users) of its social network is five and is decreasing with time.
The equivalent number for the bitcoin transaction network is fourteen and is increasing with time. That is, across 90% of all pairs of transactions, the shortest path between them in the transaction network, ignoring directionality, is at most fourteen hops. The increasing value is likely due to the fact that, unlike the Facebook social network, there is no preferential attachment. New nodes are connected to existing nodes whose corresponding transactions are not yet fully redeemed. In other words, the transaction network is growing at the frontier only.

📈 The notes below are our attempt to re-develop #economic_theory from scratch, namely starting with the axiom that individuals optimize what happens to them over time, not what happens to them on average in a collection of parallel worlds. The latter, surprisingly, is the starting point of the currently dominant form of economic theory.
