Network Science, 2014 AbstractHomophily—the tendency for individuals to associate with similar others—is one of the most persistent findings in social network analysis. Its importance is established along the lines of a multitude of sociologically relevant dimensions, e.g. sex, ethnicity and social class. Existing research, however, mostly focuses on one dimension at a time.

Generalizing Homophily to Simplicial Complexes
, 2023 Group interactions occur frequently in social settings, yet their properties beyond pairwise relationships in network models remain unexplored. In this work, we study homophily, the nearly ubiquitous phenomena wherein similar individuals are more likely than random to form connections with one another, and define it on simplicial complexes, a ...

Preferences, Homophily, and Social Learning [PDF]
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2013 We study a sequential model of Bayesian social learning in networks in which agents have heterogeneous preferences, and neighbors tend to have similar preferences—a phenomenon known as homophily. We find that the density of network connections determines the impact of preference diversity and homophily on learning. When connections are sparse, diverse
