Bootstrapping Knowledge About Social Phenomena Using Simulation Models
There are considerable difficulties in the way of the development of useful and reliable simulation models of social phenomena, including that any simulation necessarily includes many assumptions that are not directly supported by evidence. Despite these difficulties, many still hope to develop quite general models of social phenomena. This paper argues that such hopes are ill-founded, in other...
متن کاملA Simulation of Model-based Reasoning about Disparate Phenomena
This paper argues that an adequate theory of discovery must bring together the formal approach of computer science and cognitive psychology with the more empirical approach of history and the social studies of science. We argue that a computer simulation is analogous to a theory of scientific investigation in that it is comprised of a number of models of activities and entities. We describe a m...
متن کاملBootstrapping Knowledge Base Acceleration
The Streaming Slot Filler (SSF) task in TREC Knowledge Base Acceleration track involves detecting changes to slot values (relations) over time. To handle this task, the system needs to extract relations to identify slot-filler values and detect novel values. Being the first attempt at KBA, the biggest challenge that we faced was the scale of the data. We present the approach used by University ...
متن کاملUsing schemata to model metacognitive social phenomena
This paper proposes the use of cognitive schemata to model metacognitive social phenomena, characterizing the reciprocity between micro and macro dimensions in an organization. The main idea that rationalizes this research is that explicit modeling of social cognitive constructs might improve the understanding of organizational culture and learning processes. In this sense, organizational actor...
متن کاملModeling Social Diffusion Phenomena using Reality Mining
The diffusion of information, ideas, opinions and media in a social network and the influence of individual nodes on the diffusion process are important questions in the social sciences. However, till date, there has been no method to automatically capture fine-grained social interactions between people and utilize it to better model the diffusion process. In this paper, we describe the use of ...
