Graph energy as a measure of community detectability in networks
Lucas Böttcher, Mason A. Porter, Santo Fortunato
A key challenge in network science is the detection of communities, which are sets of nodes in a network that are densely connected internally but sparsely connected to the rest of…
Bounded-Confidence Models of Opinion Dynamics with Adaptive Confidence Bounds
Grace J. Li, Jiajie Luo, Mason A. Porter
People's opinions change with time as they interact with each other. In a bounded-confidence model (BCM) of opinion dynamics, individuals (which are represented by the nodes of a n…
Inference of interaction kernels in mean-field models of opinion dynamics
Weiqi Chu, Qin Li, Mason A. Porter
In models of opinion dynamics, many parameters -- either in the form of constants or in the form of functions -- play a critical role in describing, calibrating, and forecasting ho…
Detecting Political Biases of Named Entities and Hashtags on Twitter
Zhiping Xiao, Jeffrey Zhu, Yining Wang +4
Ideological divisions in the United States have become increasingly prominent in daily communication. Accordingly, there has been much research on political polarization, including…
A density description of a bounded-confidence model of opinion dynamics on hypergraphs
Weiqi Chu, Mason A. Porter
Social interactions often occur between three or more agents simultaneously. Examining opinion dynamics on hypergraphs allows one to study the effect of such polyadic interactions…
An adaptation of InfoMap to absorbing random walks using absorption-scaled graphs
Esteban Vargas Bernal, Mason A. Porter, Joseph H. Tien
InfoMap is a popular approach to detect densely connected "communities" of nodes in networks. To detect such communities, InfoMap uses random walks and ideas from information theor…
