Theoretical framework can predict how complex networks behave

The University of Hong Kong (HKU) has spearheaded an international research collaboration to develop a pioneering theoretical framework that deciphers the predictability of complex networks. A research team including Professor Qingpeng Zhang's group at the HKU Musketeers Foundation Institute of Data Science (HKU IDS) and the HKU Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine, together with researchers from Zhejiang University and Sapienza University of Rome, has developed a new theoretical framework to understand the predictability of complex networks.
