Rumour is a collective emergent phenomenon with a potential for provoking a crisis. Modelling approaches have been deployed since five decades ago; however, the focus was mostly on epidemic behaviour of the rumours which does not take into…
We present an overview of the literature on trust in AI and AI trustworthiness and argue for the need to distinguish these concepts more clearly and to gather more empirically evidence on what contributes to people s trusting behaviours. We…
In this paper, we investigate how dynamic properties of reputation can influence the quality of users ranking. Reputation systems should be based on rules that can guarantee a high level of trust and help identifying unreliable units. To…
The concept of social trust has attracted an attention of information processors/data scientists and information consumers / business firms. One of the main reasons for acquiring the value of SBD is to provide frameworks and methodologies…
As social Q&A sites gain popularity, it is important to understand how users judge the authoritativeness of users and content, build reputation, and identify and promote high quality content. We conducted a study of emerging social Q&A site…
We consider agents in a social network competing to be selected as partners in collaborative, mutually beneficial activities. We study this through a model in which an agent i can initiate a limited number k_i>0 of games and selects the…
The question of \emph{knowledge}, \emph{truth} and \emph{trust} is explored via a mathematical formulation of claims and sources. We define truth as the reproducibly perceived subset of knowledge, formalize sources as having both generative…
Modern ways of communications, such as in a web services environment, also influences trust relationships between organisations. This concept of web-based (way towards semantic web services) trust is new and has as yet not been resolved. We…
Recommender systems help people cope with the problem of information overload. A recently proposed adaptive news recommender model [Medo et al., 2009] is based on epidemic-like spreading of news in a social network. By means of agent-based…
Online trust systems are playing an important role in to-days world and face various challenges in building them. Billions of dollars of products and services are traded through electronic commerce, files are shared among large peer-to-peer…
This research examines the propagation of rumors on social networks during public health emergencies and explores strategies to effectively manage false information in cyberspace. Using a simulation model, the study analyzes the impact of…
With the fast development of digital technologies, we are running into a digital world. The relationship among people and the connections among things become more and more complex, and new challenges arise. To tackle these challenges,…
The burst in the use of online social networks over the last decade has provided evidence that current rumor spreading models miss some fundamental ingredients in order to reproduce how information is disseminated. In particular, recent…
One major function of social networks (e.g., massive online social networks) is the dissemination of information such as scientific knowledge, news, and rumors. Information can be propagated by the users of the network via natural…
In addition to seamless connectivity and smartness, the objects in the Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to have the social capabilities -- these objects are termed as ``social objects''. In this paper, an intuitive paradigm of social…
Online social as an extension of traditional life plays an important role in our daily lives. Users often seek out new friends that have significant similarities such as interests and habits, motivating us to exploit such online information…
Social media has emerged as a significant source of information for people. As agents interact with each other through social media platforms, they create numerous complex social networks. Within these networks, information spread among…
Trust has been explored by many researchers in the past as a successful solution for assisting recommender systems. Even though the approach of using a web-of-trust scheme for assisting the recommendation production is well adopted, issues…
Indirect reciprocity is a reputation-based mechanism for cooperation in social dilemma situations when individuals do not repeatedly meet. The conditions under which cooperation based on indirect reciprocity occurs have been examined in…
Free riding is a major problem in peer-to-peer networks. Reputation management systems are generally proposed to overcome this problem. In this paper we have discussed a possible way of resource allocation on the basis of reputation…
