Firing rate distributions in plastic networks of spiking neurons

no code implementations9 Nov 2023 Marina Vegué, Antoine Allard, Patrick Desrosiers

In recurrent networks of leaky integrate-and-fire (LIF) neurons, mean-field theory has proven successful in describing various statistical properties of neuronal activity at equilibrium, such as firing rate distributions.

Temporal and probabilistic comparisons of epidemic interventions

no code implementations7 Feb 2023 Mariah C. Boudreau, Andrea J. Allen, Nicholas J. Roberts, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

Forecasting disease spread is a critical tool to help public health officials design and plan public health interventions. However, the expected future state of an epidemic is not necessarily well defined as disease spread is inherently stochastic, contact patterns within a population are heterogeneous, and behaviors change.

Exact and rapid linear clustering of networks with dynamic programming

1 code implementation25 Jan 2023 Alice Patania, Antoine Allard, Jean-Gabriel Young

We study the problem of clustering networks whose nodes have imputed or physical positions in a single dimension, for example prestige hierarchies or the similarity dimension of hyperbolic embeddings.

The network epidemiology of an Ebola epidemic

no code implementations16 Nov 2021 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Jean-Gabriel Young, Jamie Bedson, Laura A. Skrip, Danielle Pedi, Mohamed F. Jalloh, Bastian Raulier, Olivier Lapointe-Gagné, Amara Jambai, Antoine Allard, Benjamin M. Althouse

We leverage the data collected by the surveillance and contact tracing protocols of the Sierra Leone Ministry of Health and Sanitation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other responding partners to validate a network epidemiology framework connecting the population (incidence), community (local forecasts), and individual (secondary infections) scales of disease transmission.

Predicting the diversity of early epidemic spread on networks

no code implementations7 Jul 2021 Andrea J. Allen, Mariah C. Boudreau, Nicholas J. Roberts, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

We show how the challenge of inferring the early course of an epidemic falls on the randomness of disease spread more so than on the heterogeneity of contact patterns.

Universal nonlinear infection kernel from heterogeneous exposure on higher-order networks

1 code implementation18 Jan 2021 Guillaume St-Onge, Hanlin Sun, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Ginestra Bianconi

The colocation of individuals in different environments is an important prerequisite for exposure to infectious diseases on a social network.

Deep learning of contagion dynamics on complex networks

no code implementations9 Jun 2020 Charles Murphy, Edward Laurence, Antoine Allard

Forecasting the evolution of contagion dynamics is still an open problem to which mechanistic models only offer a partial answer.

Stochasticity and heterogeneity in the transmission dynamics of SARS-CoV-2

1 code implementation27 May 2020 Benjamin M. Althouse, Edward A. Wenger, Joel C. Miller, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Hao Hu

SARS-CoV-2 causing COVID-19 disease has moved rapidly around the globe, infecting millions and killing hundreds of thousands.

Social confinement and mesoscopic localization of epidemics on networks

no code implementations12 Mar 2020 Guillaume St-Onge, Vincent Thibeault, Antoine Allard, Louis J. Dubé, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

Recommendations around epidemics tend to focus on individual behaviors, with much less efforts attempting to guide event cancellations and other collective behaviors since most models lack the higher-order structure necessary to describe large gatherings.

Beyond $R_0$: Heterogeneity in secondary infections and probabilistic epidemic forecasting

2 code implementations10 Feb 2020 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Benjamin M. Althouse, Samuel V. Scarpino, Antoine Allard

Lastly, we demonstrate that without data on the heterogeneity in secondary infections for emerging infectious diseases like COVID-19, the uncertainty in outbreak size ranges dramatically.

On the accuracy of message-passing approaches to percolation in complex networks

1 code implementation25 Jun 2019 Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

In fact we find that the closer a non-tree network is to a tree, the worse the MPA accuracy becomes.

Mercator: uncovering faithful hyperbolic embeddings of complex networks

3 code implementations24 Apr 2019 Guillermo García-Pérez, Antoine Allard, M. Ángeles Serrano, Marián Boguñá

We introduce Mercator, a reliable embedding method to map real complex networks into their hyperbolic latent geometry.

Smeared phase transitions in percolation on real complex networks

2 code implementations1 Oct 2018 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Antoine Allard

Our results shed light not only on the nature of the percolation transition in complex systems, but also provide two important insights on the numerical and analytical tools we use to study them.

Percolation and the effective structure of complex networks

1 code implementation25 Apr 2018 Antoine Allard, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne

Analytical approaches to model the structure of complex networks can be distinguished into two groups according to whether they consider an intensive (e. g., fixed degree sequence and random otherwise) or an extensive (e. g., adjacency matrix) description of the network structure.

Navigable maps of structural brain networks across species

no code implementations18 Jan 2018 Antoine Allard, M. Ángeles Serrano

Using a decentralized navigation protocol, we investigate the relationship between the structure of the connectomes of different species and their spatial layout.

Multi-scale structure and topological anomaly detection via a new network statistic: The onion decomposition

1 code implementation29 Oct 2015 Laurent Hébert-Dufresne, Joshua A. Grochow, Antoine Allard

The onion spectrum is exactly as easy to compute as the k-cores: It is based on the stages at which each vertex gets removed from a graph in the standard algorithm for computing the k-cores.
