。My book Jumping over the network threshold: Information diffusion on social media (in Chinese 《跨越网络的门槛:社交媒体上的信息扩散》) has been published by the Science Press in July 2022. Inspired by this book, I am working on writing another book titled Computational Narrative.
I am teaching the following courses:
I finished reading the book 「原因と結果」の経済学―――データから真実を見抜く思考法 and I think it is very useful as the textbook for the class of Causal Inference 101. Check the Slides and Notebook.
