People differ in how they attend to, interpret, and respond to their surroundings. Convergent processing of the world may be one factor that contributes to social connections between individuals. We used neuroimaging and network analysis to investigate whether the most central individuals in their communities (as measured by in-degree centrality, a notion of popularity) process the world in a particularly normative way. More central individuals had exceptionally similar neural responses to their peers and especially to each other in brain regions associated with high-level interpretations and social cognition (e.g., in the default-mode network), whereas less-central individuals exhibited more idiosyncratic responses. Self-reported enjoyment of and interest in stimuli followed a similar pattern, but accounting for these data did not change our main results. These findings suggest an Anna Karenina principle in social networks: Highly-central individuals process the world in exceptionally similar ways, whereas less-central individuals process the world in idiosyncratic ways.

Understanding and predicting the popularity of online items is an important open problem in social media analysis. Considerable progress has been made recently in data-driven predictions, and in linking popularity to external promotions. However, the
existing methods typically focus on a single source of external influence, whereas for many types of online content such as YouTube videos or news articles, attention is driven by multiple heterogeneous sources simultaneously - e.g. microblogs or traditional media coverage. Here, we propose RNN-MAS, a recurrent neural network for modeling asynchronous streams. It is a sequence generator that connects multiple streams of different granularity via joint inference. We show RNN-MAS not only to outperform the current state-of-the-art Youtube popularity prediction system by 17%, but also to capture complex dynamics, such as seasonal trends of unseen influence. We define two new metrics: promotion score quantifies the gain in popularity from one unit of promotion for a Youtube video; the loudness level captures the effects of a particular user tweeting about the video. We use the loudness level to compare the effects of a video being promoted by a single highly-followed user (in the top 1% most followed users) against being promoted by a group of mid-followed users. We find that results depend on the type of content being promoted: superusers are more successful in promoting Howto and Gaming videos, whereas the cohort of regular users are more influential for Activism videos. This work provides more accurate and explainable popularity predictions, as well as computational tools for content producers and marketers to allocate resources for promotion campaigns.
Although social neuroscience is concerned with understanding how the brain interacts with its social environment, prevailing research in the field has primarily considered the human brain in isolation, deprived of its rich social context. Emerging wo
rk in social neuroscience that leverages tools from network analysis has begun to pursue this issue, advancing knowledge of how the human brain influences and is influenced by the structures of its social environment. In this paper, we provide an overview of key theory and methods in network analysis (especially for social systems) as an introduction for social neuroscientists who are interested in relating individual cognition to the structures of an individuals social environments. We also highlight some exciting new work as examples of how to productively use these tools to investigate questions of relevance to social neuroscientists. We include tutorials to help with practical implementation of the concepts that we discuss. We conclude by highlighting a broad range of exciting research opportunities for social neuroscientists who are interested in using network analysis to study social systems.
Predicting the popularity of online content is a fundamental problem in various application areas. One practical challenge for popularity prediction takes roots in the different settings of popularity prediction tasks in different situations, e.g., t
he varying lengths of the observation time window or prediction horizon. In other words, a good model for popularity prediction is desired to handle various tasks with different settings. However, the conventional paradigm for popularity prediction is training a separate prediction model for each prediction task, and thus the obtained model for one task is difficult to be generalized to other tasks, causing a great waste of training time and computational resources. To solve this issue, in this paper, we propose a novel pre-training framework for popularity prediction, aiming to pre-train a general deep representation model by learning intrinsic knowledge about popularity dynamics from the readily available diffusion cascades. We design a novel pretext task for pre-training, i.e., temporal context prediction for two randomly sampled time slices of popularity dynamics, impelling the deep prediction model to effectively capture the characteristics of popularity dynamics. Taking the state-of-the-art deep model, i.e., temporal convolutional neural network, as an instantiation of our proposed framework, experimental results conducted on both Sina Weibo and Twitter datasets demonstrate both the effectiveness and efficiency of the proposed pre-training framework for multiple popularity prediction tasks.
In this paper, we propose a machine learning process for clustering large-scale social Internet-of-things (SIoT) devices into several groups of related devices sharing strong relations. To this end, we generate undirected weighted graphs based on the
historical dataset of IoT devices and their social relations. Using the adjacency matrices of these graphs and the IoT devices features, we embed the graphs nodes using a Graph Neural Network (GNN) to obtain numerical vector representations of the IoT devices. The vector representation does not only reflect the characteristics of the device but also its relations with its peers. The obtained node embeddings are then fed to a conventional unsupervised learning algorithm to determine the clusters accordingly. We showcase the obtained IoT groups using two well-known clustering algorithms, specifically the K-means and the density-based algorithm for discovering clusters (DBSCAN). Finally, we compare the performances of the proposed GNN-based clustering approach in terms of coverage and modularity to those of the deterministic Louvain community detection algorithm applied solely on the graphs created from the different relations. It is shown that the framework achieves promising preliminary results in clustering large-scale IoT systems.
Peoples personal social networks are big and cluttered, and currently there is no good way to automatically organize them. Social networking sites allow users to manually categorize their friends into social circles (e.g. circles on Google+, and list
s on Facebook and Twitter), however they are laborious to construct and must be updated whenever a users network grows. In this paper, we study the novel task of automatically identifying users social circles. We pose this task as a multi-membership node clustering problem on a users ego-network, a network of connections between her friends. We develop a model for detecting circles that combines network structure as well as user profile information. For each circle we learn its members and the circle-specific user profile similarity metric. Modeling node membership to multiple circles allows us to detect overlapping as well as hierarchically nested circles. Experiments show that our model accurately identifies circles on a diverse set of data from Facebook, Google+, and Twitter, for all of which we obtain hand-labeled ground-truth.
