@micheleboldrin Infatti. Gli porterò questo post come esempio di cherry picking quando qualcuno vuole dimostrare una cavolata. Grazie del materiale didattico.

@92Pal Ma tu insegni? Poveri studenti!

Questa mappa l'ho trovata in un ottimo articolo dello osservatoriocpi.unicatt.it. Riporta, regione per regioni, un indice di poverta' relativa reale del lavoro dipendente [pubblico, stimato via stipendi delle forze di polizia ...]. Non sfata solo il mito del "Meridione povero" ma lo rovescia. Suggerisce che ad essere poveri, in senso relativo, sono i lavoratori dipendenti (pubblici, in questo caso, ma vale nel privato data la vigenza dei contratti nazionali) del Centro-Nord, in particolare quelli delle 4 regioni che - nella narrativa ufficiale - sono la "ricca locomotiva" dell'economia nazionale. Dati come questi fanno comprendere i motivi crescente disagio sociale in molte aree del Nord e fra la gioventu' lavoratrice. Un disagio che il governo di #meloni ignora e l'opposizione di sx pensa di risolvere con ridicole proposte di tassazione patrimoniale o di salario minimo nazionale! E' tempo di abbandonare la politica economica assistenziale, basata su trasferimenti e sussidi, ed un sistema fiscale che premia la microimpresa improduttiva che occulta al fisco gran parte del reddito generato! Dobbiamo adottare misure che riducano il carico fiscale e contributivo sul lavoro dipendente produttivo ed adeguino gli stipendi del settore pubblico al costo della vita nell'area dove il lavoratore risiede. @ora_italia nasce anche per questo: perche' l'Italia produttiva ha urgente bisogno di un cambio radicale di politica economica, fiscale e previdenziale!

Last week in Venice, I presented our work on Social Circle polls at the hashtag#StatPhys29 satellite event on Complex Networks. Come near, pollsters of the world! We have a recipe for guessing the next election result.

What if GPT-powered bots sneaked into our online conversations? Could we spot them, or would we need more powerful tools? Check out our new preprint to find out how social networks may change with LLMs! @Gius_C @Daniebile arxiv.org/abs/2506.21620

Just presented our work on food pairing & recommender systems at Sapienza's Physics Dept! 🍽️👨‍🔬 Blind taste tests showed: fewer shared flavor compounds = worse combos 😬 Flavor chemistry isn't in recipes yet—but it should be. Preprint 👉 arxiv.org/abs/2406.15533

What if, instead of asking "Who will you vote for?", we asked "What % of your social circle will vote for ...?" This question can improve the predictions—but polarization can distort results. 🚀 The good news? We found a fix! Check out our preprint: arxiv.org/abs/2503.23879

Last week at @CSHVienna presenting opinion swings and social circle polls. So many questions, that I couldn't even finish my presentation! Great day!

Unveiling food pairing at the #cs2italy crowd in Trento. My first lightning talk in the plenary session! @cref_official

Presenting our work at #cs2italy in Trento. Social circle polls are great... if you know how to use them! We have the key! @cref_official @SonyCSLRome

And it's 2! Finally, I was able to present our latest work at @ConfCompSys 2024 about social circle polls. Sometimes, wisdom of the crowds may be misleading... but we have the fix! @SonyCSLRome @SonyCSLParis @cref_official

@_AnnaMancini_ is prenseting the social roles of opinion leader on reddit @ConfCompSys in collaboration with @ADTony_ @Gius_C check the paper arxiv.org/abs/2403.05876

Thanks @ConfCompSys for the kind invitation and the amazing conference!

Talk by Lorenzo Buffa from dense to sparse! Great work with @__Sarawalk__ Dario Mazzilli and Aurelio Patelli

Daniele Cirulli studies Reddit dynamics during the 2016 US Presidential Election At #CompSocSci satellite #CCS2024 @ConfCompSys

@Faqeeh_ali_ Daniele Cirulli presents his work related to the evolution of the subreddit communities during the 2016 US election

Packed room for Daniele Cirulli 🥳 Kids grow so fast... Have you ever wondered how the @Reddit political discourse was disrupted by #Trump ? Ask him! Great work lead by @__Sarawalk__ and @Gius_C @cref_official At #CompSocSci satellite #CCS2024 @ConfCompSys

Opinion swings talk is gone! Great opportunity to share this work with the scientific community at @ConfCompSys Don't miss my next talk about new polling methods on Friday (11,30 - Room 11) @Gius_C @ric_dicle @_AnnaMancini_ @ADTony_

Now published! journals.aps.org/pre/abstract/1…

Our work on opinion swings finally became a paper on PRE! POTUS elections 2024: ready for the swing?! With @Gius_C @ADTony_ @ric_dicle @_AnnaMancini_ journals.aps.org/pre/pdf/10.110…

PAPER OUT! Have you ever wondered why prosciutto and melon are good eaten together? The reason might be "food pairing". That's how we created a new recommender system for matching new pairs of food... and much more! Check out our preprint! arxiv.org/abs/2406.15533
