I'm currently in the process of getting my phd on this exact topic and I'm always happy to hear the problem of network interference in A/B tests being tackled at more and more tech companies. Here's a small (incomplete) list of (mainly industrial) references to solutions to this problem.

- Facebook data scientists have an extensive list of publications on the topic: [1][2]. (Dean Eckles is now at MIT).

- LinkedIn's experimentation team has also published papers on the topic: [3][4]

- Data scientists at Google have also worked on this topic. One external publication/collaboration I'm aware of is: [5]
