Noisy continuous--opinion dynamics [PDF]
Journal of Statistical Mechanics: Theory and Experiment, 2009 We study the Deffuant et al. model for continuous--opinion dynamics under the influence of noise. In the original version of this model, individuals meet in random pairwise encounters after which they compromise or not depending of a confidence parameter.

Democratic Thwarting of Majority Rule in Opinion Dynamics: 1. Unavowed Prejudices Versus Contrarians [PDF]
EntropyI study the conditions under which the democratic dynamics of a public debate drives a minority-to-majority transition. A landscape of the opinion dynamics is thus built using the Galam Majority Model (GMM) in a 3-dimensional parameter space for three ...

Opinion strength influences the spatial dynamics of opinion formation [PDF]
The Journal of Mathematical Sociology, 2016 Opinions are rarely binary; they can be held with different degrees of conviction, and this expanded attitude spectrum can affect the influence one opinion has on others.

Opinion Dynamics and Communication Networks [PDF]
Advances in Complex Systems, 2010 This paper examines the interplay of opinion exchange dynamics and communication network formation. An opinion formation procedure is introduced which is based on an abstract representation of opinions as k-dimensional bitstrings. Individuals interact if

Dynamics of opinion polarization [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics: Systems, 2022 An evident peculiarity in real-life debates is polarization, which produces the push of people s opinions to extreme positions. It is a fundamental task to understand if opinion dynamics models built to understand the opinion formation processes can reproduce them.

CONTINUOUS OPINIONS AND DISCRETE ACTIONS IN OPINION DYNAMICS PROBLEMS [PDF]
International Journal of Modern Physics C, 2008 A model where agents show discrete behavior regarding their actions, but have continuous opinions that are updated by interacting with other agents is presented. This new updating rule is applied to both the voter and Sznajd models for interaction between neighbors, and its consequences are discussed. The appearance of extremists is naturally observed

Quantifying the Impact of Large Language Models on Collective Opinion Dynamics [PDF]
arXiv.org, 2023 The process of opinion expression and exchange is a critical component of democratic societies. As people interact with large language models (LLMs) in the opinion shaping process different from traditional media, the impacts of LLMs are increasingly ...

Predicting Opinion Dynamics via Sociologically-Informed Neural Networks [PDF]
Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining, 2022 Opinion formation and propagation are crucial phenomena in social networks and have been extensively studied across several disciplines. Traditionally, theoretical models of opinion dynamics have been proposed to describe the interactions between ...

A Viral Marketing-Based Model For Opinion Dynamics in Online Social Networks [PDF]
The Web Conference, 2022 Online social networks provide a medium for citizens to form opinions on different societal issues, and a forum for public discussion. They also expose users to viral content, such as breaking news articles.

Dynamics of opinion expression [PDF]
Physical Review E, 2020 Modeling efforts in opinion dynamics have to a large extent ignored that opinion exchange between individuals can also have an effect on how willing they are to express their opinion publicly. Here, we introduce a model of public opinion expression.
