Three studies use location and communication sensors to model individual behaviors and symptoms, long-term health outcomes, and the diffusion of opinions in a community because the underlying sensing technologies are now commonplace and readily available.
Rapid assessment of disaster damage using social media activity

- 1 March 2016
It is shown that real and perceived threats, together with physical disaster effects, are directly observable through the intensity and composition of Twitter’s message stream, and suggested that massive online social networks can be used for rapid assessment of damage caused by a large-scale disaster.
Limited communication capacity unveils strategies for human interaction

- 7 April 2013
A principled method to detect tie de-activation is developed and applied to a large longitudinal, cross-sectional communication dataset and it is observed that individuals exhibit a finite communication capacity, which limits the number of ties they can maintain active in time.

A Large Neighborhood Search to find the native state for the Hydrophobic-Polar model on the Face-Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice or, in other words, a self-avoiding walk on the FCC lattice having a maximum number of H-H contacts.
Time-Critical Social Mobilization

This work analyzed the theoretical and practical properties of a recursive incentive mechanism that both spread information about the task and incentivized individuals to act, and compared it with other approaches.
Expecting to be HIP: Hawkes Intensity Processes for Social Media Popularity
- Marian-Andrei Rizoiu, Lexing Xie, S. Sanner, Manuel Cebrian, Honglin Yu, Pascal Van Hentenryck
- Computer ScienceThe Web Conference
- 19 February 2016
A novel mathematical model is developed, the Hawkes intensity process, which can explain the complex popularity history of each video according to its type of content, network of diffusion, and sensitivity to promotion, and is used to forecast future popularity given promotions on a large 5-months feed of the most-tweeted videos.
Social sensing for epidemiological behavior change

- 26 September 2010
A novel application of ubiquitous computing uses mobile phone based co-location and communication sensing to measure characteristic behavior changes in symptomatic individuals, reflected in their total communication, interactions with respect to time of day, diversity and entropy of face-to-face interactions and movement.
Machine behaviour

It is argued that this necessitates a broad scientific research agenda to study machine behaviour that incorporates and expands upon the discipline of computer science and includes insights from across the sciences.
The Genetic Algorithm as a General Diffusion Model for Social Networks
- M. Lahiri, Manuel Cebrian
- Computer ScienceAAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
- 3 July 2010
It is shown that a canonical genetic algorithm with a spatially distributed population, when paired with specific forms of Holland's synthetic hyperplane-defined objective functions, can simulate a large and rich class of diffusion models for social networks.
Protein Structure Prediction on the Face Centered Cubic Lattice by Local Search
- Manuel Cebrian, Iván Dotú, Pascal Van Hentenryck, P. Clote
- Computer ScienceAAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence
- 13 July 2008
A local search algorithm to find the native state for the Hydrophobic-Polar model on the Face Centered Cubic (FCC) lattice; i.e. a self-avoiding walk on the FCC lattice with maximum number of H-H contacts is presented.
