Identifying changes in individuals' behaviour and mood, as observed via content shared on online platforms, is increasingly gaining importance. Most research to-date on this topic focuses on either: (a) identifying individuals at risk or…

Consumers conducting comparison shopping, researchers making sense of competitive space, and developers looking for code snippets online all face the challenge of capturing the information they find for later use without interrupting their…

Joint optimization of scheduling and estimation policies is considered for a system with two sensors and two non-collocated estimators. Each sensor produces an independent and identically distributed sequence of random variables, and each…

Using numerical simulations and scaling theory we study the dynamics of the world-wide Web from the growth rules recently proposed in Ref. [1] with appropriate parameters. We demonstrate that the emergence of power-law behavior of the out-…

Using mobile phone records and information theory measures, our daily lives have been recently shown to follow strict statistical regularities, and our movement patterns are to a large extent predictable. Here, we apply entropy and…

Compared to other biometrics, gait is difficult to conceal and has the advantage of being unobtrusive. Inertial sensors, such as accelerometers and gyroscopes, are often used to capture gait dynamics. These inertial sensors are commonly…

In this work, we apply information theory inspired methods to quantify changes in daily activity patterns. We use in-home movement monitoring data and show how they can help indicate the occurrence of healthcare-related events. Three…

Scrolling is an essential interaction technique enabling users to display previously off-screen content. Existing evaluation models for scrolling are often entangled with the selection of content, e.g., when scrolling on the phone for…

Recent research has shown the deep impact of the dynamics of human interactions (or temporal social networks) on the spreading of information, opinion formation, etc. In general, the bursty nature of human interactions lowers the…

Internet-of-things (IoT) devices are vulnerable to malicious operations by attackers, which can cause physical and economic harm to users; therefore, we previously proposed a sequence-based method that modeled user behavior as sequences of…

So far, most research investigating the predictability of human behavior, such as mobility and social interactions, has focused mainly on the exploitation of sensor data. However, sensor data can be difficult to capture the subjective…

Caching at mobile devices and leveraging device-to-device (D2D) communication are two promising approaches to support massive content delivery over wireless networks. The analysis of such D2D caching networks based on a physical…

Broadcasts and timelines are the primary mechanism of information exchange in online social platforms today. Services like Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have enabled ordinary people to reach large audiences spanning cultures and…

The increasing availability of electronic communication data, such as that arising from e-mail exchange, presents social and information scientists with new possibilities for characterizing individual behavior and, by extension, identifying…

Social, technological and economic time series are divided by events which are usually assumed to be random albeit with some hierarchical structure. It is well known that the interevent statistics observed in these contexts differs from the…

The growing trend of sharing short videos on social media platforms, where users capture and share moments from their daily lives, has led to an increase in research efforts focused on micro-video recommendations. However, conventional…

Machine-type communication services in mobile cel- lular systems are currently evolving with an aim to efficiently address a massive-scale user access to the system. One of the key problems in this respect is to efficiently identify active…

Activity recognition using built-in sensors in smart and wearable devices provides great opportunities to understand and detect human behavior in the wild and gives a more holistic view of individuals' health and well being. Numerous…

Information security awareness (ISA) is a practice focused on the set of skills, which help a user successfully mitigate a social engineering attack. Previous studies have presented various methods for evaluating the ISA of both PC and…

Inspired by findings of sensorimotor coupling in humans and animals, there has recently been a growing interest in the interaction between action and perception in robotic systems [Bogh et al., 2016]. Here we consider perception and action…
