Dynamic graphs are a big part of how Twitter does what it does. We use them to model networks that evolve over time. In this post @emaros96 & @mmbronstein discuss a new ML model developed by Twitter to efficiently predict activity in dynamic graphs.

Safety and efficacy of an rAd26 and rAd5 vector-based heterologous prime-boost COVID-19 vaccine: an interim analysis of a randomised controlled phase 3 trial in Russia

Interpretation
This interim analysis of the phase 3 trial of Gam-COVID-Vac showed 91.6% efficacy against COVID-19 and was well tolerated in a large cohort.

Coronavirus is in the air — there’s too much focus on surfaces

Catching the coronavirus from surfaces is rare. The World Health Organization and national public-health agencies need to clarify their advice.

Foundations of Temporal Text Networks

Davide Vega & Matteo Magnani

https://appliednetsci.springeropen.com/articles/10.1007/s41109-018-0082-3

Abstract
Three fundamental elements to understand human information networks are the individuals (actors) in the network, the information they exchange, that is often observable online as text content (emails, social media posts, etc.), and the time when these exchanges happen. An extremely large amount of research has addressed some of these aspects either in isolation or as combinations of two of them. There are also more and more works studying systems where all three elements are present, but typically using ad hoc models and algorithms that cannot be easily transfered to other contexts. To address this heterogeneity, in this article we present a simple, expressive and extensible model for temporal text networks, that we claim can be used as a common ground across different types of networks and analysis tasks, and we show how simple procedures to produce views of the model allow the direct application of analysis methods already developed in other domains, from traditional data mining to multilayer network mining.

💉 VACCINE UPDATE:

New study shows that the #OxfordVaccine offers protection of 76% up to 12 weeks after a single dose, with further data supporting a 4-12 week dosing interval.

Further analysis also shows that the #OxfordVaccine may have a substantial effect on coronavirus transmission, with 67% reduction in positive PCR swabs among those who have been vaccinated: https://t.co/7aZAWgFqQH

Two very particular patterns of random movement — Brownian motion and Lévy walks — describe a great many physical phenomena. Recent data hint that Lévy walks may be a default movement pattern for many animal species. https://t.co/U6xAh3Qw2F

Nonequilibrium polarity-induced chemotaxis: Emergent Galilean symmetry and exact scaling exponents

Saeed Mahdisoltani, Riccardo Ben Alì Zinati, Charlie Duclut, Andrea Gambassi, and Ramin Golestanian

Can a higher-order gradient sensing mechanism change the macroscopic features of chemotactic cell colonies? We introduce such a mechanism and systematically investigate this question (the answer is yes)
