Constructing a taxonomy of fine-grained human movement and activity motifs through social media
Morgan R. Frank, Jake Ryland Williams, Lewis Mitchell +3
Profiting from the emergence of web-scale social data sets, numerous recent studies have systematically explored human mobility patterns over large populations and large time scale…
Computational Studies of Multiple-Particle Nonlinear Dynamics in a Spatio-Temporally periodic potential
Owen D. Myers, Junru Wu, Jeffrey S. Marshall +1
The spatio-temporally periodic (STP) potential is interesting in Physics due to the intimate coupling between its time and spatial components. In this paper we begin with a brief d…
Text mixing shapes the anatomy of rank-frequency distributions: A modern Zipfian mechanics for natural language
Jake Ryland Williams, James P. Bagrow, Christopher M. Danforth +1
Natural languages are full of rules and exceptions. One of the most famous quantitative rules is Zipf's law which states that the frequency of occurrence of a word is approximately…
Human language reveals a universal positivity bias
Peter Sheridan Dodds, Eric M. Clark, Suma Desu +11
Using human evaluation of 100,000 words spread across 24 corpora in 10 languages diverse in origin and culture, we present evidence of a deep imprint of human sociality in language…
Zipf's law holds for phrases, not words
Jake Ryland Williams, Paul R. Lessard, Suma Desu +4
With Zipf's law being originally and most famously observed for word frequency, it is surprisingly limited in its applicability to human language, holding over no more than three t…
