Contrarian Majority Rule Model with External Oscillating Propaganda and Individual Inertias
Entropy, 2023 We study the Galam majority rule dynamics with contrarian behavior and an oscillating external propaganda in a population of agents that can adopt one of two possible opinions. In an iteration step, a random agent interacts with three other random agents

Summarisation with Majority Opinion [PDF]
, 2020 This paper introduces a method called SUmmarisation with Majority Opinion (SUMO) that integrates and extends two prior approaches for abstractively and extractively summarising UK House of Lords cases. We show how combining two previously distinct lines of work allows us to better address the challenges resulting from this court’s unusual tradition of ...

Biased Majority Opinion Dynamics: Exploiting Graph k-domination
Proceedings of the Thirty-First International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence, 2022 We study opinion dynamics in multi-agent networks where agents hold binary opinions and are influenced by their neighbors while being biased towards one of the two opinions, called the superior opinion. The dynamics is modeled by the following process: at each round, a randomly selected agent chooses the superior opinion with some probability α, and ...

, 2012 Should a strategic Justice assemble a broader coalition for the majority opinion than is necessary, even if that means accommodating changes that move the opinion away from the author’s ideal holding?

Three-state majority-vote model on small-world networks
Scientific Reports, 2022 In this work, we study the opinion dynamics of the three-state majority-vote model on small-world networks of social interactions. In the majority-vote dynamics, an individual adopts the opinion of the majority of its neighbors with probability 1-q, and ...

Majority rules: how good are we at aggregating convergent opinions?
Evolutionary Human Sciences, 2019 Mathematical models and simulations demonstrate the power of majority rules, i.e. following an opinion shared by a majority of group members. Majority opinion should be followed more when (a) the relative and absolute size of the majority grow, the ...

Stakes and expertise modulate conformity in economic choice
Scientific Reports, 2021 The influences of expertise and group size on an individual’s tendency to align with a majority opinion have been attributed to informational and normative conformity, respectively: Whereas the former refers to the treatment of others’ decisions as ...
