Abstract:
From the spreading of diseases and memes
to the development of opinions and
social influence, dynamical processes are
influenced heavily by the networks
on which they occur. In this talk, I'll
discuss social influence and opinion models
on networks. I'll present a few types of
models --- including threshold models
of social contagions, voter models that
coevolve with network structure, and
bounded-confidence models with continuous
opinions --- and illustrate how such
processes are affected by the networks on
which they occur.
I'll also connect these models to opinion
polarization and the development of
echo chambers in online social networks.
