In this episode, Professor Pål Grønås Drange from the University of Bergen, introduces the field of Parameterized Complexity - a powerful framework for tackling hard computational problems by focusing on specific structural aspects of the input. This framework allows researchers to solve NP-complete problems more efficiently when certain parameters, like the structure of the graph, are "well-behaved". At the center of the discussion is the network diversion problem, where the goal isn’t to block all routes between two points in a network, but to force flow - such as traffic, electricity, or data - through a specific path. While this problem appears deceptively similar to the classic "Min.Cut/Max.Flow" algorithm, it turns out to be much harder and, in general, its complexity is still unknown. Parameterized complexity plays a key role here by offering ways to make the problem tractable under constraints like low treewidth or planarity, which often exist in real-world networks like road systems or utility grids. Listeners will learn how vulnerability measures help identify weak points in networks, such as geopolitical infrastructure (e.g., gas pipelines like Nord Stream).

In this episode we'll discuss how to use Github data as a network to extract insights about teamwork. Our guest, Gabriel Ramirez, manager of the notifications team at GitHub, will show how to apply network analysis to better understand and improve collaboration within his engineering team by analyzing GitHub metadata - such as pull requests, issues, and discussions - as a bipartite graph of people and projects. Some insights we'll discuss are how network centrality measures (like eigenvector and betweenness centrality) reveal organizational dynamics, how vacation patterns influence team connectivity, and how decentralizing communication hubs can foster healthier collaboration. Gabriel’s open-source project, GH Graph Explorer, enables other managers and engineers to extract, visualize, and analyze their own GitHub activity using tools like Python, Neo4j, Gephi and LLMs for insight generation, but always remember – don't take the results on face value. Instead, use the results to guide your qualitative investigation.…

In this episode, Kyle does an overview of the intersection of graph theory and computational complexity theory. In complexity theory, we are about the runtime of an algorithm based on its input size. For many graph problems, the interesting questions we want to ask take longer and longer to answer! This episode provides the fundamental vocabulary and signposts along the path of exploring the intersection of graph theory and computational complexity theory.…

In this episode, listeners will learn about Actantial Networks—graph-based representations of narratives where nodes are actors (such as people, institutions, or abstract entities) and edges represent the actions or relationships between them. The one who will present these networks is our guest Armin Pournaki, a joint PhD candidate at the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences and the Laboratoire Lattice (ENS-PSL), who specializes in computational social science, where he develops methods to extract and analyze political narratives using natural language processing and network science. Armin explains how these methods can expose conflicting narratives around the same events, as seen in debates on COVID-19, climate change, or the war in Ukraine. Listeners will also discover how this approach helps make large-scale discourse—from millions of tweets or political speeches—more transparent and interpretable, offering tools for studying polarization, issue alignment, and narrative-driven persuasion in digital societies.

Graphs for Causal AI 41:00

How to build artificial intelligence systems that understand cause and effect, moving beyond simple correlations? As we all know, correlation is not causation. "Spurious correlations" can show, for example, how rising ice cream sales might statistically link to more drownings, not because one causes the other, but due to an unobserved common cause like warm weather. Our guest, Utkarshani Jaimini, a researcher from the University of South Carolina's Artificial Intelligence Institute, tries to tackle this problem by using knowledge graphs that incorporate domain expertise. Knowledge graphs (structured representations of information) are combined with neural networks in the field of neurosymbolic AI to represent and reason about complex relationships. This involves creating causal ontologies, incorporating the "weight" or strength of causal relationships and hyperrelations. This field has many practical applications such as for AI explainability, healthcare and autonomous driving.

Together we will learn how to use graphs to fight against insurance fraud by uncovering hidden connections between fraudulent claims and bad actors. Key insights include how social network analytics can detect fraud rings by mapping relationships between policyholders, claims, and service providers, and how the BiRank algorithm, inspired by Google’s PageRank, helps rank suspicious claims based on network structure. Bavo will also present his iFraud simulator that can be used to model fraudulent networks for detection training purposes. Do you have a question about fraud detection? Bavo says he will gladly help.
