Networks and network science continue to be an exciting area of ongoing research. Here's a small sampling of some of the interesting work that's going on right now:
- Multiple membership community detection: When nodes can belong to several communities
- Multiple edge types: Working with networks with several distinct edge types
- Collaborations and shocks: How social networks influence collaboration, and how networks change during major events
- Predicting virality: Understanding how and why certain ideas and content spread
- Connectomes: Understanding the brain by studying networks of neurons or brain regions
