  • {Truong24} Bao Tran Truong, Xiaodan Lou, Alessandro Flammini, Filippo Menczer. Quantifying the vulnerabilities of the online public square to adversarial manipulation tactics. PNAS Nexus, Volume 3, Issue 7, July 2024, pgae258. use a social media model that simulates information diffusion in an empirical network to quantify the impacts of adversarial manipulation tactics on the quality of content
  • {Rajkumar22} Karthik Rajkumar, Guillaume Saint-Jacques, Iavor Bojinov, Erik Brynjolfsson, Sinan Aral. A causal test of the strength of weak ties. Science, 2022, 377, 1304–1310. The experiments randomly varied the prevalence of weak ties in the networks of over 20 million people over a 5-year period, during which 2 billion new ties and 600,000 new jobs were created.

  • {Chetty22b} Raj Chetty, Matthew O. Jackson, Theresa Kuchler, et al. Social capital II: determinants of economic connectedness. Nature 608, 122–134 (2022).
  • {Xie21} Jiarong Xie, Fanhui Meng, Jiachen Sun, Xiao Ma, Gang Yan, and Yanqing Hu. Detecting and modelling real percolation and phase transitions of information on social media. Nature Human Behaviour, 2021, 5, 1161–116. through an analysis of 100 million Weibo and 40 million Twitter users, we identify percolation-like spread and find that it happens more readily than current theoretical models would predict
  • {Ginsberg09} Jeremy Ginsberg, Matthew H. Mohebbi, Rajan S. Patel, Lynnette Brammer, Mark S. Smolinski & Larry Brilliant. Detecting influenza epidemics using search engine query data. Nature, 2009, 457:1012–1014.
  • {Ghasemian24} Amir Ghasemian and Nicholas A. Christakis. The Structure and Function of Antagonistic Ties in Village Social Networks. PNAS, 2024, 121(26):e2401257121. having negative ties is associated with people being more peripheral within their subgroups, but closer to other groups within a population, which can have the effect of bringing the whole population closer together
  • {West21} Robert West, Jure Leskovec, and Christopher Potts. Postmortem memory of public figures in news and social media. PNAS, 2021, 118(38):e2106152118. By tracking mentions of thousands of public figures during the year following their death, we reveal and model the prototypical patterns and biographic correlates of postmortem media attention, as well as systematic differences in how the news vs. social media remember deceased public figures
  • {Zeng22} An Zeng, Ying Fan, Zengru Di, Yougui Wang, and Shlomo Havlin. Impactful scientists have higher tendency to involve collaborators in new topics. PNAS, 2022, 119(33):e2207436119. We reveal here the general tendency of collaborators to be involved in a single topic. The tendency is stronger for the collaborators of productive scientists, but weaker for the collaborators of impactful scientists.
  • {Eichstaedt18} Johannes C. Eichstaedt, Robert J. Smith, Raina M. Merchant, Raina M. Merchant, Lyle H. Ungar, Patrick Crutchley, Daniel Preoţiuc-Pietro, David A. Asch, and H. Andrew Schwartz. Facebook language predicts depression in medical records. PNAS, 2018, 115(44):11203-1120. This study suggests that an analysis of social media data could be used to screen consenting individuals for depression. Further, social media content may point clinicians to specific symptoms of depression.
  • {Wang22} Jianghao Wang, Yichun Fan, Juan Palacios, Yuchen Chai, Nicolas Guetta-Jeanrenaud, Nick Obradovich, Chenghu Zhou & Siqi Zheng. Global evidence of expressed sentiment alterations during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nature Human Behaviour, 2022, 6:349–358. Using 654 million geotagged social media posts in over 100 countries, covering 74% of world population, coupled with state-of-the-art natural language processing techniques, we develop a global dataset of expressed sentiment indices to track national- and subnational-level affective states on a daily basis.
