We introduce a real-time method to infer individual unemployment using GPS trajectories and survey data. By analyzing mobility patterns of ~1 million individuals before and after job loss we reveal a sustained contraction in exploration that deepens with time since job loss.

Faithfulness of GNN explanations isn’t one-size-fits-all🧢 Our last @iclr_conf paper breaks it down across: 1. Evaluation metrics 2. Model implementations 3. OOD generalisation w: @AntonioLonga94 @looselycorrect @andrea_whatever 1/5

Happy to see our work, "Socioeconomic disparities in mobility behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic in developing countries", out in EPJ Data Science "Data for the Wellbeing of Most Vulnerable". bit.ly/socioeconomic_… 🙏to the editors and the amazing team for the hard work!

New @NatureHumBehav paper tracks mobility to reveal surprisingly long-distance dependencies between businesses. These insights could improve policy to bolster neighborhood economies and help business owners see how closures elsewhere might impact them @estebanmoro @takayabe_0505
