Optimizing the Human Learnability of Abstract Network Representations
William Qian, Christopher W. Lynn, Andrei A. Klishin +3
Precisely how humans process relational patterns of information in knowledge, language, music, and society is not well understood. Prior work in the field of statistical learning h…
Compressibility of complex networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Danielle S. Bassett
Many complex networks depend upon biological entities for their preservation. Such entities, from human cognition to evolution, must first encode and then replicate those networks…
How humans learn and represent networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Danielle S. Bassett
Humans communicate, receive, and store information using sequences of items -- from words in a sentence or notes in music to abstract concepts in lectures and books. The networks f…
Human information processing in complex networks
Christopher W. Lynn, Lia Papadopoulos, Ari E. Kahn +1
Humans communicate using systems of interconnected stimuli or concepts -- from language and music to literature and science -- yet it remains unclear how, if at all, the structure…
Evolution of semantic networks in biomedical texts
Lucy R. Chai, Danielle S. Bassett
Language is hierarchically organized: words are built into phrases, sentences, and paragraphs to represent complex ideas. Here we ask whether the organization of language in writte…
Surges of collective human activity emerge from simple pairwise correlations
Christopher W. Lynn, Lia Papadopoulos, Daniel D. Lee +1
Human populations exhibit complex behaviors---characterized by long-range correlations and surges in activity---across a range of social, political, and technological contexts. Yet…
Benchmarking measures of network controllability on canonical graph models
Elena Wu-Yan, Richard F. Betzel, Evelyn Tang +3
Many real-world systems are composed of many individual components that interact with one another in a complex pattern to produce diverse behaviors. Understanding how to intervene…
Measuring and Modeling Behavioral Decision Dynamics in Collective Evacuation
Jean M. Carlson, David L. Alderson, Sean P. Stromberg +4
Identifying and quantifying factors influencing human decision making remains an outstanding challenge, impacting the performance and predictability of social and technological sys…
Collective Decision Dynamics in the Presence of External Drivers
Danielle S. Bassett, David L. Alderson, Jean M. Carlson
We develop a sequence of models describing information transmission and decision dynamics for a network of individual agents subject to multiple sources of influence. Our general f…
