Polarization of coalitions in an agent-based model of political discourseSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 1 - Trang 1-22 - 2014
Philip Leifeld
Political discourse is the verbal interaction between political actors in a
policy domain. This article explains the formation of polarized advocacy or
discourse coalitions in this complex phenomenon by presenting a dynamic,
stochastic, and discrete agent-based model based on graph theory and local
optimization. In a series of thought experiments, actors compute their utility
of contributing a spe... hiện toàn bộ
Including traffic jam avoidance in an agent-based network modelSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-12 - 2018
Christian Hofer, Georg Jäger, Manfred Füllsack
Understanding traffic is an important challenge in different scientific fields.
While there are many approaches to constructing traffic models, most of them
rely on origin–destination data and have difficulties when phenomena should be
investigated that have an effect on the origin–destination matrix. A macroscopic
traffic model is introduced that is novel in the sense that no
origin–destination d... hiện toàn bộ
Tracking online topics over time: understanding dynamic hashtag communitiesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 5 - Trang 1-18 - 2018
Philipp Lorenz-Spreen, Frederik Wolf, Jonas Braun, Gourab Ghoshal, Nataša Djurdjevac Conrad, Philipp Hövel
Hashtags are widely used for communication in online media. As a condensed
version of information, they characterize topics and discussions. For their
analysis, we apply methods from network science and propose novel tools for
tracing their dynamics in time-dependent data. The observations are
characterized by bursty behaviors in the increases and decreases of hashtag
usage. These features can be ... hiện toàn bộ
Calling, texting, and moving: multidimensional interactions of mobile phone usersSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 2 - Trang 1-24 - 2015
Matteo Zignani, Christian Quadri, Sabrina Gaito, Gian Paolo Rossi
The communication networks obtained by using mobile phone datasets have drawn
increasing attention in recent years. Studies have led to important advances in
understanding the behavior of mobile users although they have just considered
text message (short message service (SMS)), call data, and spatial proximity,
separately. However, there is a growing awareness that human sociality is
expressed si... hiện toàn bộ
Why continuous discussion can promote the consensus of opinions?Springer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 3 - Trang 1-12 - 2016
Zhenpeng Li, Xijin Tang, Benhui Chen, Jian Yang, Peng Su
Why group opinions tend to be converged through continued communication,
discussion and interactions? Under the framework of the social influence network
model, we rigorously prove that the group consensus is almost surely within
finite steps. This is a quite certain result, and reflects the real-world common
phenomenon. In addition, we give a convergence time lower bound. Although our
explanation... hiện toàn bộ
Understanding how retweets influence the behaviors of social networking service users via agent-based simulationSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 Số 1 - 2021
Yan Yi-zhou, Fujio Toriumi, Toshiharu Sugawara
AbstractThe retweet is a characteristic mechanism of several social network
services/social media, such as Facebook, Twitter, and Weibo. By retweeting
tweet, users can share an article with their friends and followers. However, it
is not clear how retweets affect the dominant behaviors of users. Therefore,
this study investigates the impact of retweets on the behavior of social media
users from th... hiện toàn bộ
Fairness norm through social networks: a simulation approachSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-16 - 2021
Omar Rifki, Hirotaka Ono
Recently there has been an increased interest in adopting game-theoretic models
to social norms. Most of these approaches are generally lacking a structure
linking the local level of the ‘norm’ interaction to its global ‘social’ nature.
Although numerous studies examined local-interaction games, where the emphasis
is placed on neighborhood relations, regarding social network as a whole unique

A robust optimization model for influence maximization in social networks with heterogeneous nodesSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-17 - 2021
Mehrdad Agha Mohammad Ali Kermani, Reza Ghesmati, Mir Saman Pishvaee
Influence maximization is the problem of trying to maximize the number of
influenced nodes by selecting optimal seed nodes, given that influencing these
nodes is costly. Due to the probabilistic nature of the problem, existing
approaches deal with the concept of the expected number of nodes. In the current
research, a scenario-based robust optimization approach is taken to finding the
most influen... hiện toàn bộ
Modeling the transmission dynamics of racism propagation with community resilienceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 8 - Trang 1-18 - 2021
Dejen Ketema Mamo
Racism spreading can have a vital influence on people’s lives, declining
adherence, pretending political views, and recruiters’ socio-economical crisis.
Besides, Web 2.0 technologies have democratized the creation and propagation of
racist information, which facilitated the rapid spreading of racist messages. In
this research work, the impact of community resilience on the spread dynamics of
racis... hiện toàn bộ
A network science-based k-means++ clustering method for power systems network equivalenceSpringer Science and Business Media LLC - Tập 6 - Trang 1-25 - 2019
Dhruv Sharma, Krishnaiya Thulasiraman, Di Wu, John N. Jiang
Network equivalence is a technique useful for many areas including power
systems. In many power system analyses, generation shift factor (GSF)-based bus
clustering methods have been widely used to reduce the complexity of the
equivalencing problem. GSF captures power flow on a line when power is injected
at a node using bus to bus electrical distance. A more appropriate measure is
the one which ca... hiện toàn bộ
