Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis focuses on exploiting the dynamics and correlations of preferences over social networks for developing efficient group decision making systems. One of the main challenges in any group decision problem is learning the individual preferences upon which decisions are based. It is the position of this thesis that social networks--by capturing preference correlations across individuals induced by social interactions--provide a natural and informative platform for preference learning. By mathematical modelling of preference dynamics and correlations over social networks, we focus on developing efficient algorithms for group decision making and recommendations, with less required user data, and lower cognitive and communication burden. We introduce empathetic frameworks in which individuals derive utility based on both their own intrinsic preferences (or happiness) and empathetic preferences, determined by the satisfaction of their acquaintances. After theoretically analysing this framework, we develop a scalable algorithm for group recommendation, and empirically demonstrate its performance. To capture the correlation of preference rankings on social networks, we introduce a network formation model called ranking networks in which the similarity of two individuals' rankings determines the chance they are connected to each other. After a thorough theoretical analysis, we use a special instance that we call preference-oriented social networks, for group decision making when faced with missing preferences. We develop algorithms to predict unknown individual preferences given known preferences of others in the social network and to make effective group decisions with partial preferences. Our empirical results demonstrate that incorporating social ties can significantly improve predictions and group decision making.

Download or read book Social Network Large-Scale Decision-Making written by Zhijiao Du and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-12-25 with total page 157 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the following three key topics in social network large-scale decision-making: structure-heterogeneous information fusion, clustering analysis with multiple measurement attributes, and consensus building considering trust loss. To address the aggregation and distance measurement of structure-heterogeneous evaluation information, we propose a fusion method based on trust and behavior analysis. Then, two clustering algorithms are put forward, including trust Cop-K-means clustering algorithm and compatibility distance-oriented off-center clustering algorithm. The above clustering algorithms emphasize the similarity of opinions and social relationships as important measurement attributes of clustering. Finally, this book explores the impact of trust loss originating from social relationships on the CRP and develops two consensus-reaching models, namely the improved minimum-cost consensus model that takes into account voluntary trust loss and the punishment-driven consensus-reaching model. Some case studies, a large number of numerical experiments, and comparative analyses are provided in this book to demonstrate the characteristics and advantages of the proposed methods and models. The authors encourage researchers, students, and enterprises engaged in social network analysis, group decision-making, multi-agent collaborative decision-making, and large-scale data processing to pay attention to the proposals presented in this book. After reading this book, the authors expect readers to have a deeper and more comprehensive understanding of social network large-scale decision-making. Inorder to make it more accurate for readers to understand the methods and models presented in this book, the authors strongly recommend that potential readers have a good research foundation in fuzzy soft computing, traditional clustering algorithms, basic mathematics knowledge, and other related preliminaries.

This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 372 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book investigates in detail large-scale group decision-making (LSGDM) problem, which has gradually evolved from the traditional group decision-making problem and has attracted more and more attention in the age of big data. Pursuing a holistic approach, the book establishes a fundamental framework for LSGDM with uncertain and behavioral considerations. To address the behavioral uncertainty and complexity of large groups of decision-makers, this book mainly focuses on new solutions of LSGDM problems using the interval type-2 fuzzy uncertainty theory and social network analysis techniques, including the exploration of uncertain clustering analysis, the consideration of social relationships, especially trust relationships, the construction of consensus evolution networks, etc. The book is intended for researchers and postgraduates who are interested in complex group decision-making in the new media era. Authors also investigate the similar features between LSGDM problems and group recommendations to study the applications of LSGDM methods. After reading this book, readers will have a new understanding of the LSGDM study under the real complicated context.

Download or read book Social Networks and Japanese Democracy written by Ken'ichi Ikeda and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-06-12 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many who critique democracy as practiced in East Asia suggest that the Confucian political culture of these nations prevents democracy from being the robust participatory type, and limits it to a spectacle designed to create obedience from the public. Certainly some East Asian nations have had elections for decades, but democracy is far more than periodic elections. For democracy to be meaningful, a country needs an active public sphere, political tolerance, egalitarian beliefs, and vigorous political participation. The Asian-values debate focuses on whether the creation of this optimal version of democracy in East Asian nations will be hindered by their shared Confucian cultural heritage and at the center of this debate is whether there is an active political culture in East Asia that allows citizens to freely discuss, debate, and disagree about politics. With Japan as its focus, this book examines the role of social networks and political discussion in Japanese political culture and asks whether discursive participatory democracy is indeed possible in East Asia. In order to answer this queston the authors undertook the largest academic political survey ever conducted in Japan to give the book exceptional empirical credence. This data reveals how the Japanese people interact politically, concluding that through the powerful influence of social networks on Japanese political behaviour, Japan has a more globalized and less hierarchical society where Confucian culture is not dominant and where creation of a vibrant civil society is possible . This book will be invaluable for students and scholars of Japanese politics, democracy, civil society, and globalization.

Download or read book Preferences and Decisions written by Salvatore Greco and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-10-05 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Decision making is an omnipresent, most crucial activity of the human being, and also of virtually all artificial broadly perceived “intelligent” systems that try to mimic human behavior, reasoning and choice processes. It is quite obvious that such a relevance of decision making had triggered vast research effort on its very essence, and attempts to develop tools and techniques which would make it possible to somehow mimic human decision making related acts, even to automate decision making processes that had been so far reserved for the human beings. The roots of those attempts at a scientific analysis can be traced to the ancient times but – clearly – they have gained momentum in the recent 50 or 100 years following a general boom in science. Depending on the field of science, decision making can be viewed in different ways. The most general view can be that decision making boils down to some cognitive, mental process(es) that lead to the selection of an option or a course of action among several alternatives. Then, looking in a deeper way, from a psychological perspective this process proceeds in the context of a set of needs, preferences, rational choice of an individual, a group of individuals, or even an organization. From a cognitive perspective, the decision making process proceeds in the context of various interactions with the environment.
