The process by which social movements move through time and space can be understood as a process of innovation diffusion of memes or ideas. This process of diffusion may be traceable through computational linguistics and map geocoding of the linguistic memes employed by such movements. A Visualizing Information Space In Ontological Networks (VISION) method is described and illustrated with web-...

Abstract Does the pattern of social connections between individuals matter for macroeconomic outcomes? If so, where do differences in these patterns come from and how large are their effects? Using network analysis tools, we explore different structures affect technology diffusion thereby a country’s rate growth. The correlation high-diffusion networks income is strongly positive. But when use ...

The purpose of the study was to identify subjective experiences that are characteristic of schizophrenia. A questionnaire for self-assessment of disturbances in several cognitive-perceptual areas (the Eppendorf Schizophrenia Inventory) was constructed and administered to first episode schizophrenia patients (SCHf; n = 45), negative-syndrome schizophrenia patients (SCHn; n = 45), remitted schizo...

Knowledge diffusion takes place over network structures and is also a mechanism of network creation. The use of network analysis techniques and of the ideas coming from recent developments of the theory of complex networks may be of utility to study knowledge diffusion processes among organizational populations. In this work, the network approach is used to analyze the results obtained by an ag...

Modeling the diffusion of information on social media has mainly been treated as a diffusion process on known graphs, and under closed world assumptions. We introduce here a new approach to this problem whose principle is to learn a mapping of the observed interacting users onto a latent representation space in such a way that information diffusion can be modeled efficiently using a heat diffus...
