Protein-protein interaction networks provide a graph-level view of cellular organization, yet their functional modules are overlapping, noisy, and difficult to interpret from cluster assignments alone. Existing community-detection methods…
We show that hypernetworks can be regarded as posets which, in their turn, have a natural interpretation as simplicial complexes and, as such, are endowed with an intrinsic notion of curvature, namely the Forman Ricci curvature, that…
