Information Flow in Social Groups
Fang Wu, Bernardo A. Huberman, Lada A. Adamic +1
We present a study of information flow that takes into account the observation that an item relevant to one person is more likely to be of interest to individuals in the same socia…
Email as Spectroscopy: Automated Discovery of Community Structure within Organizations
Joshua R. Tyler, Dennis M. Wilkinson, Bernardo A. Huberman
We describe a methodology for the automatic identification of communities of practice from email logs within an organization. We use a betweeness centrality algorithm that can rapi…
Finding Communities of Related Genes
Dennis Wilkinson, Bernardo A. Huberman
We present an automated method of identifying communities of functionally related genes from the biomedical literature. These communities encapsulate human gene and protein interac…
Forecasting Uncertain Events with Small Groups
Kay-Yut Chen, Leslie R. Fine, Bernardo A. Huberman
We present a novel methodology for predicting future outcomes that uses small numbers of individuals participating in an imperfect information market. By determining their risk att…
Optimizing Traffic in Virtual and Real Space
Dirk Helbing, Bernardo A. Huberman, Sebastian M. Maurer
We show how optimization methods from economics known as portfolio strategies can be used for minimizing download times in the Internet and travel times in freeway traffic. While f…
Economics-Based Optimization of Unstable Flows
Bernardo A. Huberman, Dirk Helbing
As an example for the optimization of unstable flows, we present an economics-based method for deciding the optimal rates at which vehicles are allowed to enter a highway. It explo…
Evolutionary Dynamics of the World Wide Web
Bernardo A. Huberman, Lada A. Adamic
We present a theory for the growth dynamics of the World Wide Web that takes into account the wide range of stochastic growth rates in the number of pages per site, as well as the…
Optimizing Traffic Flow
Bernardo A. Huberman, Dirk Helbing
We present an economics-based method for deciding the optimal rates at which vehicles are allowed to enter a highway. The method exploits the naturally occuring fluctuations of tra…
Coherent Moving States in Highway Traffic (Originally: Moving Like a Solid Block)
Dirk Helbing, Bernardo A. Huberman
Recent advances in multiagent simulations have made possible the study of realistic traffic patterns and allow to test theories based on driver behaviour. Such simulations also dis…
