Prospect Theory Based Individual Irrationality Modelling and Behavior Inducement in Pandemic Control
Wenxiang Dong, H. Vicky Zhao
It is critical to understand and model the behavior of individuals in a pandemic, as well as identify effective ways to guide people's behavior in order to better control the epide…
PocketCare: Tracking the Flu with Mobile Phones using Partial Observations of Proximity and Symptoms
Wen Dong, Tong Guan, Bruno Lepri +1
Mobile phones provide a powerful sensing platform that researchers may adopt to understand proximity interactions among people and the diffusion, through these interactions, of dis…
Graph-Coupled HMMs for Modeling the Spread of Infection
Wen Dong, Alex Pentland, Katherine A. Heller
We develop Graph-Coupled Hidden Markov Models (GCHMMs) for modeling the spread of infectious disease locally within a social network. Unlike most previous research in epidemiology,…
Automatic Prediction Of Small Group Performance In Information Sharing Tasks
Wen Dong, Bruno Lepri, Alex Pentland
In this paper, we describe a novel approach, based on Markov jump processes, to model small group conversational dynamics and to predict small group performance. More precisely, we…
Modeling Dynamical Influence in Human Interaction Patterns
Wei Pan, Manuel Cebrian, Wen Dong +3
How can we model influence between individuals in a social system, even when the network of interactions is unknown? In this article, we review the literature on the "influence mod…
