Human Behavior in Epidemic Modelling
… powerful tool for investigating the dynamics of human infection diseases, providing useful predictions about the spread of a disease and the effectiveness of possible control measures. One of the central aspects to understand the dynamics of human infection is the heterogeneity in behavioral …

Predicting human behavior using visual media
The ability to predict human behavior has applications in many domains ranging from advertising to education to medicine. In this thesis, I focus on the use of visual media such as images and videos to predict human behavior. Can we predict what images people remember or forget? Can we predict the …

Social motion : mobile networking through sensing human behavior
Low-level sensors can provide surprisingly high-level information about social interactions. The goal of this thesis is to define the components of a framework for sensing social context with mobile devices. We describe several sensing technologies - including infrared transceivers, radio frequency …

Human Behavior Modeling and Calibration in Epidemic Simulations
Human behavior plays an important role in infectious disease epidemics. The choice of preventive actions taken by individuals can completely change the epidemic outcome. Computational epidemiologists usually employ large-scale agent-based simulations of human populations to study disease outbreaks …

DETECTING HOW TOPOLOGICAL, SOCIAL, AND ONTOLOGICAL HIERARCHIES ARE REFLECTED IN HUMAN BEHAVIOR
Humans are a very complex species.Individually, a person can display a wide range of behaviors. Collectively, sociocultural and other hierarchies in the environment shape these humans to produce behavior that can be highly heterogeneous at the individual level but regular and patterned at the …
