CHuB Lab at FBK

Current and former @FBK_research folks enjoying (a lot) our time at the Conference on Complex Systems 🎉🤩 @ConfCompSys

What do cities and crystals have in common? Their growth follows the same patterns. 🌆 💎 That’s according to new research in @PhysRevLett using 30 years of satellite data to analyze how urban areas expand — uneven edges and all. Read the paper: go.aps.org/43XqQj5

Our study of 400 million tweets shows that the “war on science” is far more complex than a simple clash between truth and falsehood. 🔍 read more in our latest article magazine.fbk.eu/en/news/what-a… @ricgallotti @chub_fbk @vtraag @FBK_research

📢 Do you want to join our group? We opened **two** calls for a fully funded PhD. Details are in the image and at the following links.

Cocktails in Paris 🥂 Thanks #sunbelt2025 for this amazing view 🇫🇷✨

🚨 How do cities expand? Using surface growth physics, we found a unique exponent governing their local geometry. Their dynamics, instead, range from smooth diffusion to abrupt coalescence, with demographic pressure driving. 🔍 Check out our latest work arxiv.org/abs/2506.10656

This new paper finds that GPT-4 outperforms humans in debates when prompted with basic sociodemographic data. @fraslv @manoelribeiro @ricgallotti @cervisiarius nature.com/articles/s4156…

A study in Nature Human Behaviour finds chatbots personalized with socio-demographic data more persuasive than humans in 64.4% of cases. Led by FBK EPFL & Princeton the experiment with 900 participants highlights AI’s potential & risks in online debates magazine.fbk.eu/en/news/lintel…
