A Shared IPTC Topic Space for Cross-Source Topic Modelling

Din Iskakov, Sebastian Gonçalves, Marco Idiat +4

Comparing topic attention across different media is hindered by a fundamental modelling problem: topic models fitted separately to each corpus produce corpus-specific topic spaces…

Dilution, Diffusion and Symbiosis in Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma with Reinforcement Learning

Gustavo C. Mangold, Heitor C. M. Fernandes, Mendeli H. Vainstein

Recent studies in the spatial prisoner's dilemma games with reinforcement learning have shown that static agents can learn to cooperate through a diverse sort of mechanisms, includ…

Anomalous behavior of Replicator dynamics for the Prisoner's Dilemma on diluted lattices

Fernanda R. Leivas, Heitor C. M. Fernandes, Mendeli H. Vainstein

In diluted lattices, cooperation is often enhanced at specific densities, particularly near the percolation threshold for stochastic updating rules. However, the Replicator rule, d…

Heterogeneous contributions can jeopardize cooperation in the Public Goods Game

Lucas S. Flores, Mendeli H. Vainstein, Heitor C. M. Fernandes +1

When studying social dilemma games, a crucial question arises regarding the impact of general heterogeneity on cooperation, which has been shown to have positive effects in numerou…

Cooperation in regular lattices

Lucas S. Flores, Marco A. Amaral, Mendeli H. Vainstein +1

In the context of Evolutionary Game Theory, one of the most noteworthy mechanisms to support cooperation is spatial reciprocity, usually accomplished by distributing players in a s…

Symbiotic behaviour in the Public Goods game with altruistic punishment

Lucas S. Flores, Heitor C. M. Fernandes, Marco A. Amaral +1

Finding ways to overcome the temptation to exploit one another is still a challenge in behavioural sciences. In the framework of evolutionary game theory, punishing strategies are…
