Research doesn’t always want to stay in papers. @netscisociety
I’m a co-founder of SparseMind AI, a startup born directly from my research @Tsinghua_Uni
Accumulating theoretical evidence and practical validations, our work is ready to move from research to real-world impact.

“AI's future is not bigger, but smarter,” says Prof. Carlo Cannistraci. His project, SparseMind AI, won third at the HICOOL Global Entrepreneur Competition, algorithmically removing up to 99% of model bulk. This “sparse revolution” makes AI more accessible & sustainable for all.

Last week in Boston for the @netscisociety #netsci2026 I had the honour to offer a talk on my theory for link prediction and its application to neural networks. Thanks to @HirokiSayama to feature the work.

The "summer shift" refers to a phenomenon observed in the timing of STEMIs, a severe type of heart attack. During the summer months, there is a noticeable shift in the occurrence of STEMIs from daytime hours to nighttime hours. ahajournals.org/doi/10.1161/…

This seasonal variation appears to be influenced by factors such as sunlight intensity and circadian rhythms, which may alter the timing of heart attack onset.

Interestingly, this shift has been linked to environmental factors like solar irradiance and even vitamin D levels, which are regulated by sunlight exposure. However, the exact mechanisms behind this phenomenon remain an area of active investigation
