Impact and dynamics of hate and counter speech online
Joshua Garland, Keyan Ghazi-Zahedi, Jean-Gabriel Young +2
Citizen-generated counter speech is a promising way to fight hate speech and promote peaceful, non-polarized discourse. However, there is a lack of large-scale longitudinal studies…
Network comparison and the within-ensemble graph distance
Harrison Hartle, Brennan Klein, Stefan McCabe +4
Quantifying the differences between networks is a challenging and ever-present problem in network science. In recent years a multitude of diverse, ad hoc solutions to this problem…
The unintended consequences of inconsistent pandemic control policies
Benjamin M. Althouse, Brendan Wallace, Brendan Case +4
Controlling the spread of COVID-19 - even after a licensed vaccine is available - requires the effective use of non-pharmaceutical interventions: physical distancing, limits on gro…
Localization, epidemic transitions, and unpredictability of multistrain epidemics with an underlying genotype network
Blake J. M. Williams, Guillaume St-Onge, Laurent Hébert-Dufresne
Mathematical disease modelling has long operated under the assumption that any one infectious disease is caused by one transmissible pathogen spreading among a population. This par…
Countering hate on social media: Large scale classification of hate and counter speech
Joshua Garland, Keyan Ghazi-Zahedi, Jean-Gabriel Young +2
Hateful rhetoric is plaguing online discourse, fostering extreme societal movements and possibly giving rise to real-world violence. A potential solution to this growing global pro…
Limits of Individual Consent and Models of Distributed Consent in Online Social Networks
Juniper Lovato, Antoine Allard, Randall Harp +2
Personal data are not discrete in socially-networked digital environments. A user who consents to allow access to their profile can expose the personal data of their network connec…
Immunization Strategies in Networks with Missing Data
Samuel F. Rosenblatt, Jeffrey A. Smith, G. Robin Gauthier +1
Network-based intervention strategies can be effective and cost-efficient approaches to curtailing harmful contagions in myriad settings. As studied, these strategies are often imp…
Master equation analysis of mesoscopic localization in contagion dynamics on higher-order networks
Guillaume St-Onge, Vincent Thibeault, Antoine Allard +2
Simple models of infectious diseases tend to assume random mixing of individuals, but real interactions are not random pairwise encounters: they occur within various types of gathe…
