Networks, Influence and Repetition
… are embedded. Our focus is on the context of complex diffusion where multiple interactions and reinforcements may be needed for adoption of an idea, action, process, or product. A powerful intuition informs current thinking on the topic: clustered networks provide the repeated reinforcement …

The influence of collaboration networks on programming language acquisition
… a network. Some behaviors spread via simple contagion, where a single contact with an "activated node" is sufficient for transmission, while others require complex contagion, with reinforcement from multiple nodes to adopt the behavior. But why do some behaviors require more social …

An Algorithm for Influence Maximization and Target Set Selection for the Deterministic Linear Threshold Model
… nodes in a graph with the goal of maximizing contagion spread that emanates from these influential nodes. Inputs to our algorithm include edge weights and vertex thresholds. The threshold difference greedy algorithm presented in this thesis takes into account both the edge weights as well as …
