Improved Infomap code available at mapequation.org

Completely rewritten source code for multilevel community detection with Infomap. Infomap handles links that are: unweighted, weighted, undirected, and directed and clusters tightly interconnected nodes into modules (two-level clustering) or the optimal number of nested clusters (multi-level clustering).

Flow of information

Where there is life, there is information. To comprehend the important role information plays in living systems, we have to better understand how information flows through biological and social systems. Faced with a barrage of data, how should we comprehend the flow of information through biological and social systems? Can the information generated by natural selection over generations be quantified by the apparatus of information theory?

Complex networks

The whole in a complex system is the sum of its parts, plus the interactions between the parts. Understanding social, biological, and economic systems therefore often depends on understanding their patterns of interactions — their networks. I am particularly interested in networks that transfer information, for example, networks of social communication and signalling networks in biology.

Complex me

Yesterday a child, tomorrow a child. Same body, new thoughts. What is more fascinating than to be one own's interpreter of the world in the middle of the flow of instantaneous selves? My own self emerges in interactions with friends and colleagues, high consumption of pasta and milk, thousands of kilometers on cross-country skis, and never-ending fights against gravity on eternal mountains around the world.

Complex you

If you have questions or comments and would like to interact with me, do not hesitate. Human interactions are the highest kind of self-fulfilling art in life.
