Research summary
AI-generated

Filipi N. Silva studies complex networks and computational methods for analyzing large collections of connected data, such as citation networks that link scientific papers and social-media discussions. Much of the work combines network analysis with modern text and machine-learning tools (including large language models) and produces open-source software for visualizing networks. Application areas span science-of-science studies (how research and funding relate), biomedical literature mapping, and social media sentiment analysis.

Publication activity has been steady and somewhat variable over the decade, with a notable increase in the most recent year, though the count is partly driven by many software release entries.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
