Professional networks and the diffusion of clinical guidelines in opioid prescribing
Yi-Ning Weng, Hsuan-Wei Lee
Large and persistent differences in opioid prescribing across physicians and regions cannot be explained by patient characteristics or physician attributes alone. We developed a be…
Dissipative Quantum Dynamics in Static Network with Different Topologies
Wei-Yang Liu, Hsuan-Wei Lee
We investigate the dissipative dynamics of quantum population and coherence among different network topologies of a quantum network using a quantum spin model coupled to a thermal…
How Exploration Breaks Cooperation in Shared-Policy Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning
Yi-Ning Weng, Hsuan-Wei Lee
Multi-agent reinforcement learning in dynamic social dilemmas commonly relies on parameter sharing to enable scalability. We show that in shared-policy Deep Q-Network learning, sta…
Q-Learning-Driven Adaptive Rewiring for Cooperative Control in Heterogeneous Networks
Yi-Ning Weng, Hsuan-Wei Lee
Cooperation emergence in multi-agent systems represents a fundamental statistical physics problem where microscopic learning rules drive macroscopic collective behavior transitions…
When Networks Mislead: How Partisan Communication Undermines Democratic Decision-Making
Hsuan-Wei Lee, Po-Kang Hsiao
Democratic societies increasingly rely on communication networks to aggregate citizen preferences and information, yet these same networks can systematically mislead voters under c…
Adaptive network dynamics and behavioral contagion in multi-state drug use propagation
Hsuan-Wei Lee, Yi-Hsuan Huang, Nishant Malik
Addictive behavior spreads through social networks via feedback among choice, peer pressure, and shifting ties, a process that eludes standard epidemic models. We present a compreh…
