Agent-based model of information spread in social networks
We propose evolution rules of the multiagent network and determine statistical patterns in life cycle of agents - information messages. The main discussed statistical pattern is connected with the number of likes and reposts for a message. This distribution corresponds to Weibull distribution accord

Consistency of Social Sensing Signatures Across Major US Cities
Previous studies have shown that Twitter users have biases to tweet from certain locations, locational bias, and during certain hours, temporal bias. We used three years of geolocated Twitter Data to quantify these biases and test our central hypothesis that Twitter users biases are consistent acros

Model of Opinion Spreading in Social Networks
We proposed a new model, which capture the main difference between information and opinion spreading. In information spreading additional exposure to certain information has a small effect.

The Asymptotic Mandelbrot Law of Some Evolution Networks
In this letter, we study some evolution networks that grow with linear preferential attachment. Based upon some recent results on the quotient Gamma function, we give a rigorous proof of the asymptotic Mandelbrot law for the degree distribution $p_k propto (k + c)^{-gamma}$ in certain conditions.

SimBins: An information-theoretic approach to link prediction in real multiplex networks
The entities of real-world networks are connected via different types of connections (i.e. layers). The task of link prediction in multiplex networks is about finding missing connections based on both intra-layer and inter-layer correlations.

Accelerating consensus on co-evolving networks: the effect of committed individuals
Social networks are not static but rather constantly evolve in time. One of the elements thought to drive the evolution of social network structure is homophily - the need for individuals to connect with others who are similar to them.
