here you can find basic information regarding the course
The objective of this course is to introduce concepts of network science using hands-on exercises. To be specific, the students will learn how relationships among various entities (for example people) can be analysed and interpreted through methods of social network analysis. Students will be introduced to how social network analysis borrows ideas from Mathematics (Graph Theory), Social Sciences (Sociology, Economics), Natural Sciences and Engineering (Physics and Computer Science) to solve problems in different domains. In addition, advanced neural networks based techniques such as Graph Neural Networks will also be introduced. For hands on session, Python and Gephi will be used, for manipulating, analyzing, and visualizing the network data.
