Complex Spreading Phenomena in Social Systems: Influence and Contagion in Real-World Social Networks

by Lehmann

Book Overview

This text is about spreading of information and influence in complex networks. Although previously considered similar and modeled in parallel approaches, there is now experimental evidence that epidemic and social spreading work in subtly different ways. While previously explored through modeling, there is currently an explosion of work on revealing the mechanisms underlying complex contagion based on big data and data-driven approaches.
