In the #MachineLearning literature, greater data repurposing was associated w higher disruption scores (10.2% SD increase), a slight decrease in initial recognition via citations (-1.7% SD) More at www.pnas.org/doi/10.... @yulinyuresearch.bsky.social @danielmromero.bsky.social @umichcse.bsky.social

In this project, repurposing datasets means using them for research topics different from their original context, relates to scientific outcomes. Previous research suggests that combining existing knowledge in novel ways, or recombinant novelty, is associated with greater scientific influence.

Life update! I’ll join the University of Arizona College of Information Science as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Fall 2026. Before that, I’ll postdoc with Dr. Brian Uzzi at Northwestern + visit Microsoft Research. Excited to keep exploring how data, AI, and social networks drive innovation.
