Analyst of the laboratory Anna Semenova held a master class on identifying communities in the network using the example of the relationship structure of the characters in the Harry Potter books using the R programming language.

Research assistant Lika Kapustina held a workshop on 'How to analyze a network of your friends with social network analysis' and talked about the connection of social networks with reality, explained how the degree indicator differs from centrality, and showed how you can build a network of friends on VKontakte using Python and the VK API.
