Scientists create high-resolution poverty maps using big data

Using real data from an online chess platform, scientists of the Complexity Science Hub and the Centro Ricerche Enrico Fermi (CREF) studied similarities of different chess openings. Based on these similarities, they developed a new classification method which can complem...

Global supply shortages of antibiotics are currently on the rise. A study by the Complexity Science Hub in collaboration with the newly founded Supply Chain Intelligence Institute Austria (ASCII) now deciphers the causes of the shortage: First and foremost, the increasin...

Derzeit kommt es weltweit verstärkt zu Lieferengpässen von Antibiotika. Eine Studie des neu gegründeten Supply Chain Intelligence Institute Austria (ASCII) in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Complexity Science Hub entschlüsselt nun die Ursachen für den derzeitigen Mangel. Allen v...

Following India and China, the USA are the third systemically most important country in the global antibiotics trade networks. Major trading partners for APIs include China, Italy, India and Belgium. Substantial trade deficits with China and Italy but trade surpluses wit...

The concentration of the market on China and India:

Model created by Samuel Martín-Gutiérrez and colleagues captures social division in multiparty democracies. The US could also benefit from it.

A recent study makes it clear: Countries like Sweden that can link data from different areas - such as the labor market and health care - have a decisive advantage when it comes to setting targeted actions.

Word lists are the basis of so much research in so many fields. Researchers at the Complexity Science Hub have now developed an algorithm that can be applied to different languages and can expand word lists significantly better than others.
