The thesis document is available here ๐ ellisalicante.org/publications...
I've defended my PhD ๐๐
Huge thanks to @nuriaoliver.com for her guidance over these years and to the committee @ccattuto.bsky.social , Isabel Valera, and G. Gonzรกlez Serrano for their time, insights, and an inspiring discussion ๐
Excited for what's coming next!
๐ข The latest EU Tech Policy Brief is here!
In this edition:
โ๏ธ Joint letter to EU Commission & MSs on the #AIAct โs implementation
๐๏ธ Danish Presidencyโs proposal on EU #CSAR raising concerns on #encryption
๐ฌ Our response to the Gender Equality Strategyโs consultation
๐ More about EU tech policy:
Ladies and gentlemen, the generative AI industry:
No to simplification of EU digital laws
Weakening the AI Act would undermine accountability, the protection of society and workers and bring legal uncertainty
I have co-signed the letter led by @cdteu.bsky.social ๐๐ผ
The Code of Practice is out. I co-wrote the Safety & Security Chapter, which is an implementation tool to help frontier AI companies comply with the EU AI Act in a lean but effective way. I am proud of the result!

A huge milestone was achieved today in the EU towards our common understanding of risks in the online world. If you are a researcher interested in studying societal risks related to very large online platforms and search engines, this is for you!

Needing a permanent doi was a forcing function to revisit this article on Transformers and Graph Neural Networks: arxiv.org/abs/2506.22084
This is (very) old news, so what's new?
Had a great time presenting our work at @icwsm.bsky.social on measuring and mitigating structural social capital disparities in social networks ๐ธ๏ธ
Really appreciated the thoughtful feedback and the chance to connect with such an amazing community!
๐ Read the paper: ojs.aaai.org/index.php/IC...
This paper reflects my and @federico-errica.bsky.social's thoughts on some current GNNs issues (like OSM/OSQ) after spending some time working on them. We also tried to capture concerns that we've seen echoed by parts of the community.
P.S. I thought I had all these issues figured out too ๐
@neuripsconf.bsky.social what is going on...
We were desk-rejected from NeurIPS for dubious reasons, but that is not going to stop us ๐ถ๏ธ

After a break in April we welcome all of you to the next session of GLOW๐ next week!
Join and interact with our speakers Christian Koke (scale in GNNs) and Yonatan Sverdlov (sparse geometric MPNNs).

I've recently put together a "Fairness FAQ": tinyurl.com/fairness-faq. If you work in non-fairness ML and you've heard about fairness, perhaps you've wondered things like what the best definitions of fairness are, and whether we can train algorithms that optimize for it.
Have you ever been curious to try Causal Normalizing Flows for your project but found them intimidating? Say no more ๐
I just released a small library to easily implement and use causal-flows:

"Urban Highways Are Barriers to Social Ties" out on PNAS!
The 1st large-scale measure of how highways weaken social connections between the communities they separate. This barrier effect is strong in the 50 largest US cities--especially for low-income Black communities.

I am hiring for a Ph.D. student to work in the areas of social network analysis, algorithms and fair machine learning.

An interesting future resource to keep an eye on will be the resulting report of Working Group 4 on the development of a General-Purpose AI Code of Practice, which will focus on mitigating the risk of GPAI models through AI governance

really looking forward to it!
GLOW is back this Wednesday, Feb 19th, 5pm CET ๐
Instead of talks, weโre hosting a casual discussion on where graph learning is headed and where early-career researchers can make the most impact. Join our open conversation with junior and senior graph researchers!
sites.google.com/view/graph-l...
And so we set out to understand _feedforward_ graphs (i.e. graphs w/o back edges) โฉ
Turns out these graphs are rather understudied for how often they are used in practice! ๐ฎ
We work towards a framework to analyse them, which I hope both my GNN and my LLM friends will enjoy ๐
