Opinion consensus incorporating higher-order interactions in individual-collective networks

In the current information society, the dissemination mechanisms and evolution laws of individual or collective opinions and their behaviors are the research hot topics in the field of opinion dynamics. First, in this paper, a two-layer network consisting of an individual-opinion layer and a collective-opinion layer is constructed, and a dissemination model of opinions incorporating higher-order interactions(i.e. OIHOI dissemination model) is proposed. Furthermore, the dynamic equations of opinion dissemination for both individuals and groups are presented. Using Lyapunov's first method,two equilibrium points, including the negative consensus point and positive consensus point, and the dynamic equations obtained for opinion dissemination, are analyzed theoretically. In addition, for individual opinions and collective opinions,some conditions for reaching negative consensus and positive consensus as well as the theoretical expression for the dissemination threshold are put forward. Numerical simulations are carried to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed theoretical results, as well as the influence of the intra-structure, inter-connections, and higher-order interactions on the dissemination and evolution of individual opinions. The main results are as follows.(i) When the intra-structure of the collective-opinion layer meets certain characteristics, then a negative or positive consensus is easier to reach for individuals.(ii) Both negative consensus and positive consensus perform best in mixed type of inter-connections in the two-layer network.(iii) Higher-order interactions can quickly eliminate differences in individual opinions, thereby enabling individuals to reach consensus faster.

Research on the Evolution Structure of Fragment Disordering Public Opinion in College Students’ Network Circle Group

Clarifying the evolution structure of public opinion induced and spread by fragmentation in college students’ network circle group is the key to understanding college students’ online social psychological demands, grasping the development trend of public opinion, and designing targeted public opinion governance strategies. On the basis of identifying the key variables in the process of public opinion communication, DEMATEL-ISM model is used to explore the attribute positioning, relative importance level and hierarchical association mechanism of ante-variable and result variable, and then the governance strategies for fragment disordering public opinion in network circle groups of college students is designed. According to the study, exogenous stimuli, the uniqueness of discourse system, the number of spectacular texts and micro-narrative mode constituted the deep-rooted causes of fragment disordering public opinion. The unique situational and information attributes of network circle groups often become an important “booster” of disordered public opinion. The topic deviation is often accompanied with the formation of negative emotions. The corresponding public opinion governance strategies are sought from the aspects of shaping the network environment, adjusting the operation mechanism of the network circle group, improving the efficiency of using fragmented information, and optimizing the human resources of colleges.

Kinetic Modeling of an Opinion Model on Social Networks

It is commonly accepted that, on social networks, the opinion of the agents with a higher connectivity, i.e., a larger number of followers, results in more convincing than that of the agents with a lower number of followers. By kinetic modeling approach, a kinetic model of opinion formation on social networks is derived, in which the distribution function depends on both the opinion and the connectivity of the agents. The opinion exchange process is governed by a Sznajd type model with three opinions, ±1, 0, and the social network is represented statistically with connectivity denoting the number of contacts of a given individual. The asymptotic mean opinion of a social network is determined in terms of the initial opinion and the connectivity of the agents.

Two-Layer Coupled Network Model for Topic Derivation in Public Opinion Propagation

In view of the fact that news can generate derivative topics when it spreads through micro-blogs,a two-layer coupled SEIR public opinion propagation model is proposed in this paper.The model divides the process of public opinion propagation into two layers:the original topic layer and the derived topic layer.Messages are transmitted separately by the SEIR model in the two topic layers,which are independent and interactive.The influence of the topic derivation rate on the propagation trend is established by solving for the equilibrium point and propagation threshold.Further,we establish the relationship between the original topic and the derived topic by simulation.This paper uses the Baidu index to demonstrate the correctness of the model.The relationship between the derived topic and the original topic is verified by adjusting the parameters by the control variable method.The results show that the proposed model is consistent with the propagation of actual public opinion.

Simulating the Spreading of Two Competing Public Opinion Information on Complex Network

In this paper, we investigate the regularity of spreading of information and public opinions towards two competing products in complex networks. By building its mathematical model and simulating its evolution process, we have found the statistical regularity for support rates of two different products at a steady stage. The research shows that strength of the public opinion spreading is proportional to the final support rates of a product.

Ising model on evolution networks and its application on opinion formation

Many phenomena show that in a favorable circumstance an agent still has an updating possibility, and in an unfavor- able circumstance an agent also has a possibility of holding its own state and reselecting its neighbors. To describe this kind of phenomena an Ising model on evolution networks was presented and used for consensus formation and separation of opinion groups in human population. In this model the state-holding probability p and selection-rewiring probability q were introduced. The influence of this mixed dynamics of spin flips and network rewiring on the ordering behavior of the model was investigated, p hinders ordering of opinion networks and q accelerates the dynamical process of networks. Influence of q on the ordering and separating stems from its effect on average path length of networks.

The Research on Social Networks Public Opinion Propagation Influence Models and Its Controllability

Public opinion propagation control is one of the hot topics in contemporary social network research. With the rapid dissemination of information over the Internet, the traditional isolation and vaccination strategies can no longer achieve satisfactory results. A positive guidance technology for public opinion diffusion is urgently needed. First, based on the analysis of influence network controllability and public opinion diffusion, a positive guidance technology is proposed and a new model that supports external control is established. Second, in combination with the influence network, a public opinion propagation influence network model is designed and a public opinion control point selection algorithm(POCDNSA) is proposed. Finally, An experiment verified that this algorithm can lead to users receiving the correct guidance quickly and accurately, reducing the impact of false public opinion information; the effect of CELF is no better than that of the POCDNSA algorithm. The main reason is that the former is completely based on the diffusion cascade information contained in the training data, but does not consider the specific situation of the network structure and the diffusion of public opinion information in the closed set. thus, the effectiveness and feasibility of the algorithm is proven. The findings of this article therefore provide useful insights for the implementation of public opinion control.

An Opinion Spam Detection Method Based on Multi-Filters Convolutional Neural Network

With the continuous development of e-commerce,consumers show increasing interest in posting comments on consumption experience and quality of commodities.Meanwhile,people make purchasing decisions relying on other comments much more than ever before.So the reliability of commodity comments has a significant impact on ensuring consumers’equity and building a fair internet-trade-environment.However,some unscrupulous online-sellers write fake praiseful reviews for themselves and malicious comments for their business counterparts to maximize their profits.Those improper ways of self-profiting have severely ruined the entire online shopping industry.Aiming to detect and prevent these deceptive comments effectively,we construct a model of Multi-Filters Convolutional Neural Network(MFCNN)for opinion spam detection.MFCNN is designed with a fixed-length sequence input and an improved activation function to avoid the gradient vanishing problem in spam opinion detection.Moreover,convolution filters with different widths are used in MFCNN to represent the sentences and documents.Our experimental results show that MFCNN outperforms current state-of-the-art methods on standard spam detection benchmarks.

SNES: Social-Network-Oriented Public Opinion Monitoring Platform Based on ElasticSearch

With the rapid development of social network,public opinion monitoring based on social networks is becoming more and more important.Many platforms have achieved some success in public opinion monitoring.However,these platforms cannot perform well in scalability,fault tolerance,and real-time performance.In this paper,we propose a novel social-network-oriented public opinion monitoring platform based on ElasticSearch(SNES).Firstly,SNES integrates the module of distributed crawler cluster,which provides real-time social media data access.Secondly,SNES integrates ElasticSearch which can store and retrieve massive unstructured data in near real time.Finally,we design subscription module based on Apache Kafka to connect the modules of the platform together in the form of message push and consumption,improving message throughput and the ability of dynamic horizontal scaling.A great number of empirical experiments prove that the platform can adapt well to the social network with highly real-time data and has good performance in public opinion monitoring.

The Transmission Mechanism and Control Strategy of the Network Public Opinion in Frontier Ethnic Regions

Social networking has become an important channel for netizens to express public Opinions and reflect social conditions and public opinions. At the same time, social networks also provide favorable conditions for the widespread dissemination of negative information. The spread of negative information will weaken the credibility of the government and affect government decisions. For this reason, the network public opinion transmission mechanism and control strategy in frontier ethnic areas are studied in depth. Through the analysis of the stage of social media public opinion dissemination, a more reasonable social media public opinion dissemination stage model was concluded, and the social media public opinion dissemination mechanism and the linkage mechanism of the dissemination mechanism were derived, which solved the problem of how social media sentiment was disseminated. According to the analysis of the stage characteristics of social media public opinion dissemination , the six stages of public opinion transmission were divided into different levels , and corresponding strategies were proposed for different levels of the dissemination stage.

Hot Events Detection of Stock Market Based on Time Series Data of Stock and Text Data of Network Public Opinion

With the highly integration of the Internet world and the real world, Internet information not only provides real-time and effective data for financial investors, but also helps them understand market dynamics, and enables investors to quickly identify relevant financial events that may lead to stock market volatility. However, in the research of event detection in the financial field, many studies are focused on micro-blog, news and other network text information. Few scholars have studied the characteristics of financial time series data. Considering that in the financial field, the occurrence of an event often affects both the online public opinion space and the real transaction space, so this paper proposes a multi-source heterogeneous information detection method based on stock transaction time series data and online public opinion text data to detect hot events in the stock market. This method uses outlier detection algorithm to extract the time of hot events in stock market based on multi-member fusion. And according to the weight calculation formula of the feature item proposed in this paper, this method calculates the keyword weight of network public opinion information to obtain the core content of hot events in the stock market. Finally, accurate detection of stock market hot events is achieved.

Mean Opinion Score Estimation for Mobile Broadband Networks Using Bayesian Networks

Mobile broadband(MBB)networks are expanding rapidly to deliver higher data speeds.The fifth-generation cellular network promises enhanced-MBB with high-speed data rates,low power connectivity,and ultralow latency video streaming.However,existing cellular networks are unable to perform well due to high latency and low bandwidth,which degrades the performance of various applications.As a result,monitoring and evaluation of the performance of these network-supported services is critical.Mobile network providers optimize and monitor their network performance to ensure the highest quality of service to their end-users.This paper proposes a Bayesian model to estimate the minimum opinion score(MOS)of video streaming services for any particular cellular network.The MOS is the most commonly used metric to assess the quality of experience.The proposed Bayesian model consists of several input data,namely,round-trip time,stalling load,and bite rates.It was examined and evaluated using several test data sizes with various performance metrics.Simulation results show the proposed Bayesian network achieved higher accuracy overall test data sizes than a neural network.The proposed Bayesian network obtained a remarkable overall accuracy of 90.36%and outperformed the neural network.
