• Title: From Ukraine to the World: Using LinkedIn Data to Monitor Professional Migration from Ukraine
• Authors: Margherita Bert\`e, Daniela Paolotti, Kyriaki Kalimeri
• Abstract summary: Highly skilled professionals' forced migration from Ukraine was triggered by the conflict in Ukraine in 2014 and amplified by the Russian invasion in 2022. We identify an ongoing and escalating exodus of educated individuals, largely drawn to Poland and Germany. Key findings include a strong correlation between LinkedIn's estimates of highly educated Ukrainian displaced people and official UN refugee statistics.

• Abstract: Highly skilled professionals' forced migration from Ukraine was triggered by the conflict in Ukraine in 2014 and amplified by the Russian invasion in 2022. Here, we utilize LinkedIn estimates and official refugee data from the World Bank and the United Nations Refugee Agency, to understand which are the main pull factors that drive the decision-making process of the host country. We identify an ongoing and escalating exodus of educated individuals, largely drawn to Poland and Germany, and underscore the crucial role of pre-existing networks in shaping these migration flows. Key findings include a strong correlation between LinkedIn's estimates of highly educated Ukrainian displaced people and official UN refugee statistics, pointing to the significance of prior relationships with Ukraine in determining migration destinations. We train a series of multilinear regression models and the SHAP method revealing that the existence of a support network is the most critical factor in choosing a destination country, while distance is less important. Our main findings show that the migration patterns of Ukraine's highly skilled workforce, and their impact on both the origin and host countries, are largely influenced by preexisting networks and communities. This insight can inform strategies to tackle the economic challenges posed by this loss of talent and maximize the benefits of such migration for both Ukraine and the receiving nations.

  Following Turkey's 2020 decision to revoke border controls, many individuals journeyed towards the Greek, Bulgarian, and Turkish borders. However, the lack of verifiable statistics on irregular migration and discrepancies between media reports and actual migration patterns require further exploration. This study is to bridge this knowledge gap by harnessing novel data sources, specifically mobile phone and Twitter data.

  We adapt a recently proposed approach for English to study attitudes to migration expressed in Slovene newspapers. We examine changes in the discourse on migration between the 2015-16 migration crisis following the war in Syria and the 2022-23 period following the war in Ukraine. We find that while this discourse became more negative and more intense over time, it is less dehumanising when specifically addressing Ukrainian migrants compared to others.

  Federated Learning (FL) enables distributed participants to train a global model without sharing data directly to a central server. Recent studies have revealed that FL is vulnerable to gradient inversion attack (GIA), which aims to reconstruct the original training samples. We propose Client-side poisoning Gradient Inversion (CGI), which is a novel attack method that can be launched from clients.

  Source-free domain adaptation transits the source-trained model towards target domain without exposing the source data. This paradigm is still at risk of data leakage due to adversarial attacks on the source model. We propose a novel approach named RAIN (RegulArization on Input and Network) for Black-Box domain adaptation from both input-level and network-level regularization.

• Investigating internal migration with network analysis and latent space representations: An application to Turkey [0.0]
  We provide an in-depth investigation into the structure and dynamics of the internal migration in Turkey from 2008 to 2020. We identify a set of classical migration laws and examine them via various methods for signed network analysis, ego network analysis, representation learning, temporal stability analysis, and network visualization. The findings show that, in line with the classical migration laws, most migration links are geographically bounded with several exceptions involving cities with large economic activity.
