Dynamics in the world city network 2000-2008: a longitudinal network analysis of contemporary globalization processes Ghent University
This project aims to reveal the main determinants of connectivity change in the world city network. This longitudinal analysis is based on a unique dataset that was put together in the context of the scientific cooperation between the 'Globalization and World City'-research group and the 'Chinese Academy of Sciences' for three different points in time: 2000, 2004 and 2008.

Networks of volunteers and paid staff: A mixed method analysis on network positions, structure and effectiveness Vrije Universiteit Brussel
networks of volunteers and paid staff for social service delivery.
Against this background, we rely on social network analysis to
advance theoretical and practical knowledge on (1) the structure of
networks and positions in networks of volunteers and paid staff in
public and nonprofit organizations, and
(2) how volunteers and paid ...
A Floating Medical Network? An Anthropological Analysis of China-Burundian Medical Cooperation in the Context of Global Public Health KU Leuven
This study places the transiting meanings and medical practices at the center of global public health. It will focus on the multiple manifestations across the floating network of China-Burundi medical cooperation——the rotating doctors, transcultural communication, and unstable availability of medical provisions. An anthropological approach will facilitate the consideration of both the locality and global interconnectedness: it will ...

Mapping the Antwerp-Brussels-Oudenarde tapestry complex (1600-1700) via network analysis. KU Leuven
It is a truism that 17th-century Flemish tapestry production was exceptionally capital-intensive and perilous. While investments in cartoons, labour, and material were immense – the price of a high-quality Brussels set equaled that of a battleship (!) –, the recovery of the invested capital was usually slow and problematic. Thus, tapissiers had to find ways to maximize their creditworthiness and to minimize information asymmetries ...
DISCO-Func: Discrete Optimization in Neural Network Function Classes through Submodular Analysis KU Leuven
Driven by advances in deep learning, powerful automated algorithms enable us to hold conversations with virtual assistants running on our mobile phone, cars are autonomously driving on streets in mixed traffic, increasingly sophisticated medical diagnostic software is assisting doctors in making life-saving decisions, and social networks and media libraries are automatically indexed and personalized to individual users. At the core of these ...
