Introduction to Network Science

This trimester I'm giving for the first time a course on Introduction to Network Science for the undergraduate studies on Data Science at Universitat Pompeu Fabra.

  • Why studying networks
  • Basics concepts of graph theory
  • Random networks
  • Scale-free networks
  • Preferential attachment
  • Link formation mechanisms
  • Homophily and assortativity
  • Hubs and authorities
  • PageRank
  • Link-based centrality
  • Network flows
  • Dense sub-graphs
  • Hierarchical clustering
  • Spreading phenomena
