AI Seminar- Frank Schweitzer: Modeling User Behavior In Online Social Networks

Speaker: Frank Schweitzer, Chair of Systems Design, ETH Zurich, Switzerland

Talk Title: Modeling User Behavior In Online Social Networks

Series: Artificial Intelligence Seminar

Abstract: Online communication can be seen as a large-scale social experiment
that constantly provides us with data about users' activities,
interactions and emotions. While their online behavior on the
``micro´´ level is largely governed by individual traits, we find on the ``macro´´ level remarkable statistical regularities. These can be reproduced by means of agent-based models that allow us to understand how emotional influence and individual decisions create collective phenomena, such as collective emotions and drop-out cascades of users.
