Information Cascades in Feed-based Networks of Users with Limited Attention
Sameet Sreenivasan, Kevin S. Chan, Ananthram Swami +2
We build a model of information cascades on feed-based networks, taking into account the finite attention span of users, message generation rates and message forwarding rates. Usin…
Competing Effects of Social Balance and Influence
P. Singh, S. Sreenivasan, B. K. Szymanski +1
We study a three-state (leftist, rightist, centrist) model that couples the dynamics of social balance with an external deradicalizing field. The mean-field analysis shows that the…
The Impact of Heterogeneous Thresholds on Social Contagion with Multiple Initiators
Panagiotis D. Karampourniotis, Sameet Sreenivasan, Boleslaw K. Szymanski +1
The threshold model is a simple but classic model of contagion spreading in complex social systems. To capture the complex nature of social influencing we investigate numerically a…
Social consensus and tipping points with opinion inertia
C. Doyle, S. Sreenivasan, B. K. Szymanski +1
When opinions, behaviors or ideas diffuse within a population, some are invariably stickier than others. The stickier the opinion, behavior or idea, the greater is an individual's…
Failure dynamics of the global risk network
Boleslaw K. Szymanski, Xin Lin, Andrea Asztalos +1
Risks threatening modern societies form an intricately interconnected network that often underlies crisis situations. Yet, little is known about how risk materializations in distin…
Cascading failures in spatially-embedded random networks
Andrea Asztalos, Sameet Sreenivasan, Boleslaw K. Szymanski +1
Cascading failures constitute an important vulnerability of interconnected systems. Here we focus on the study of such failures on networks in which the connectivity of nodes is co…
