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…
Inference of Media Bias and Content Quality Using Natural-Language Processing
Zehan Chao, Denali Molitor, Deanna Needell +1
Media bias can significantly impact the formation and development of opinions and sentiments in a population. It is thus important to study the emergence and development of partisa…
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…
Emergence of polarization in a sigmoidal bounded-confidence model of opinion dynamics
Heather Z. Brooks, Philip S. Chodrow, Mason A. Porter
We study a nonlinear bounded-confidence model (BCM) of continuous-time opinion dynamics on networks with both persuadable individuals and zealots. The model is parameterized by a s…
Non-Markovian models of opinion dynamics on temporal networks
Weiqi Chu, Mason A. Porter
Traditional models of opinion dynamics, in which the nodes of a network change their opinions based on their interactions with neighboring nodes, consider how opinions evolve eithe…
A Majority-Vote Model On Multiplex Networks with Community Structure
Kaiyan Peng, Mason A. Porter
We investigate a majority-vote model on two-layer multiplex networks with community structure. In our majority-vote model, the edges on each layer encode one type of social relatio…
