On a Closed-Loop Controller for the Coevolutionary Model of Actions and Opinions via Broadcasting Information
Roberta Raineri, Mengbin Ye, Lorenzo Zino
We deal with controlling a complex social network in which agents have actions and opinions that coevolve, mutually influencing one another. We consider an input consisting in broa…
An agent-based model of the formation and evolution of common ground
Mengbin Ye, Wooseok Jung, Tony J. Mathew +2
The existence of a communal common ground is vital for collective action and coordination in a population, but the micro-level cognitive and social processes that lead to the forma…
Robustness Analysis of Australia's Internet Using a Multilayer Network Model
Benjamin Lang, Matthew Roughan, Mengbin Ye
Australia depends on an Internet built from multiple networks of long-haul links. We study the interactions of these independent provider networks to investigate how the peering be…
Awareness in collective decision-making: Modeling and control in a game-theoretic framework
Mengbin Ye, Lorenzo Zino, Ming Cao
For a society to remain healthy and prosperous, people must collectively behave and act to contribute to the common good, even if there is often a tradeoff against their individual…
Modelling the coevolution of opinion dynamics and decision making in social dilemmas
Ella C. Davidson, Lorenzo Zino, Ming Cao +1
This paper proposes a mathematical model for the coevolution of actions and opinions for a population facing a social dilemma. In particular, we assume each person participates in…
Modelling the Closed Loop Dynamics Between a Social Media Recommender System and Users' Opinions
Ella C. Davidson, Mengbin Ye
This paper proposes a mathematical model to study the coupled dynamics of a Recommender System (RS) algorithm and content consumers (users). The model posits that a large populatio…
Controlling a Social Network of Individuals with Coevolving Actions and Opinions
Roberta Raineri, Mengbin Ye, Lorenzo Zino
In this paper, we consider a population of individuals who have actions and opinions, which coevolve, mutually influencing one another on a complex network structure. In particular…
Coevolution of Actions and Opinions in Networks of Coordinating and Anti-Coordinating Agents
Hong Liang, Mengbin Ye, Lorenzo Zino +1
In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of coordinating and anti-coordinating agents in a coevolutionary model for actions and opinions. In the model, the individuals of a popul…
Multi-layer network analysis of deliberation in an online discussion platform: the case of Reddit
Tianshu Gao, Mengbin Ye, Robert Ackland
This paper uses a multi-layer network model to study deliberation in online discussion platforms, focusing on the Reddit platform. The model comprises two layers: a discussion laye…
Data-informed modeling of the formation, persistence, and evolution of social norms and conventions
Mengbin Ye, Lorenzo Zino
Social norms and conventions are commonly accepted and adopted behaviors and practices within a social group that guide interactions -- e.g., how to spell a word or how to greet pe…
An evidence-accumulating drift-diffusion model of competing information spread on networks
Julien Corsin, Lorenzo Zino, Mengbin Ye
In this paper, we propose an agent-based model of information spread, grounded on psychological insights on the formation and spread of beliefs. In our model, we consider a network…
Repeated and incontrovertible collective action failure leads to protester disengagement and radicalisation
Emma F. Thomas, Mengbin Ye, Simon D. Angus +6
Protest is ubiquitous in the 21st Century and the people who participate in such movements do so because they seek to bring about social change. However, social change takes time a…
Equilibrium Selection in Replicator Equations Using Adaptive-Gain Control
Lorenzo Zino, Mengbin Ye, Giuseppe Carlo Calafiore +1
In this paper, we deal with the equilibrium selection problem, which amounts to steering a population of individuals engaged in strategic game-theoretic interactions to a desired c…
