Homophily within and across groups [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsHomophily-the tendency of individuals to interact with similar others-shapes how networks form and function. Yet existing approaches typically collapse homophily to a single scale, either one parameter for the whole network or one per community, thereby ...

Predicting social network homophily on common chronic disease risk behaviors among public housing residents [PDF]
BMC Public HealthBackground Attributes and behaviors tend to cluster (homophily) among connected individuals (social networks). Accordingly, the design of effective interventions to address chronic disease risk behaviors at the individual level has proven challenging. To

Network inequality through preferential attachment, triadic closure, and homophily [PDF]
Scientific ReportsInequalities in social networks arise from linking mechanisms, such as preferential attachment (connecting to popular nodes), homophily (connecting to similar others), and triadic closure (connecting through mutual contacts).

Journal of Economic Theory, 2023 This paper extends the model of DeGroot in two directions to study the way learning and influence co-evolve in a social network. It establishes an existence result and characterizes the equilibrium influence matrix for some simple benchmark scenarios. Two features are considered in the environment.

Remote Sensing, 2022 Graph neural networks (GNNs) have been widely applied for hyperspectral image (HSI) classification, due to their impressive representation ability. It is well-known that typical GNNs and their variants work under the assumption of homophily, while most ...

The paradox of second-order homophily in networks
Scientific Reports, 2021 Homophily—the tendency of nodes to connect to others of the same type—is a central issue in the study of networks. Here we take a local view of homophily, defining notions of first-order homophily of a node (its individual tendency to link to similar ...
