Information Cocoons in Online Navigation
Lei Hou, Xue Pan, Kecheng Liu +3
Social media and online navigation bring us enjoyable experience in accessing information, and simultaneously create information cocoons (ICs) in which we are unconsciously trapped…
Preliminary prediction of the basic reproduction number of the Wuhan novel coronavirus 2019-nCoV
Tao Zhou, Quanhui Liu, Zimo Yang +5
Objectives.--To estimate the basic reproduction number of the Wuhan novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV). Methods.--Based on the susceptible-exposed-infected-removed (SEIR) compartment mo…
Bounds of memory strength for power-law series
Fangjian Guo, Dan Yang, Zimo Yang +2
Many time series produced by complex systems are empirically found to follow power-law distributions with different exponents . By permuting the independently drawn samples from…
Indigenization of Urban Mobility
Zimo Yang, Defu Lian, Nicholas Jing Yuan +3
The identification of urban mobility patterns is very important for predicting and controlling spatial events. In this study, we analyzed millions of geographical check-ins crawled…
Promoting cold-start items in recommender systems
Jin-Hu Liu, Tao Zhou, Zi-Ke Zhang +3
As one of major challenges, cold-start problem plagues nearly all recommender systems. In particular, new items will be overlooked, impeding the development of new products online.…
Strong ties promote the epidemic prevalence in susceptible-infected-susceptible spreading dynamics
Ai-Xiang Cui, Zimo Yang, Tao Zhou
Understanding spreading dynamics will benefit society as a whole in better preventing and controlling diseases, as well as facilitating the socially responsible information while d…
Emergence of scaling in human-interest dynamics
Zhi-Dan Zhao, Zimo Yang, Zike Zhang +3
Human behaviors are often driven by human interests. Despite intense recent efforts in exploring the dynamics of human behaviors, little is known about human-interest dynamics, par…
Braess's Paradox in Epidemic Game: Better Condition Results in Less Payoff
Hai-Feng Zhang, Zimo Yang, Zhi-Xi Wu +2
Facing the threats of infectious diseases, we take various actions to protect ourselves, but few studies considered an evolving system with competing strategies. In view of that, w…
Anchoring Bias in Online Voting
Zimo Yang, Zi-Ke Zhang, Tao Zhou
Voting online with explicit ratings could largely reflect people's preferences and objects' qualities, but ratings are always irrational, because they may be affected by many unpre…
Predicting link directions via a recursive subgraph-based ranking
Fangjian Guo, Zimo Yang, Tao Zhou
Link directions are essential to the functionality of networks and their prediction is helpful towards a better knowledge of directed networks from incomplete real-world data. We s…
Roles of Ties in Spreading
Ai-Xiang Cui, Zimo Yang, Tao Zhou
Background: Controlling global epidemics in the real world and accelerating information propagation in the artificial world are of great significance, which have activated an upsur…
Epidemic Spreading in Weighted Networks: An Edge-Based Mean-Field Solution
Zimo Yang, Tao Zhou
Weight distribution largely impacts the epidemic spreading taking place on top of networks. This paper studies a susceptible-infected-susceptible model on regular random networks w…
Mandelbrot Law of Evolving Networks
Xue-Zao Ren, Zimo Yang, Bing-Hong Wang +1
Degree distributions of many real networks are known to follow the Mandelbrot law, which can be considered as an extension of the power law and is determined by not only the power-…
Relative clock demonstrates the endogenous heterogeneity of human dynamics
Tao Zhou, Zhi-Dan Zhao, Zimo Yang +1
The heavy-tailed inter-event time distributions are widely observed in many human-activated systems, which may result from both endogenous mechanisms like the highest-priority-firs…
Impact of Heterogeneous Human Activities on Epidemic Spreading
Zimo Yang, Ai-Xiang Cui, Tao Zhou
Recent empirical observations suggest a heterogeneous nature of human activities. The heavy-tailed inter-event time distribution at population level is well accepted, while whether…
