YSocial
This paper introduces YSocial, a new-generation virtual twin designed to replicate an online social media platform. Digital and virtual twins are virtual replicas of physical systems that allow for advanced analyses, control, experimentation, and scenario simulations. In the case of social media, a virtual twin such as YSocial provides a powerful tool for researchers to simulate and understand complex online interactions. YSocial leverages state-…
Navigating the Lobbying Landscape
While lobbying has been demonstrated to have an important effect on public opinion and policy making, existing models of opinion formation do not specifically include its effect. In this work, we introduce a new model of lobbying-driven opinion influence within opinion dynamics, where lobbyists can implement complex strategies and are characterized by a finite budget. Individuals update their opinions through a learning process resembling Bayes-r…
Modeling algorithmic bias
Every day, people inform themselves and create their opinions on social networks. Although these platforms have promoted the access and dissemination of information, they may expose readers to manipulative, biased, and disinformative content—co-causes of polarization/radicalization. Moreover, recommendation algorithms, intended initially to enhance platform usage, are likely to augment such phenomena, generating the so-called Algorithmic Bias . I…
