Emerging patterns of opinion formation in social structures

Research Project by Pablo Rodriguez Alves, Chayenne Olumuyiwa, Jonas Schäfer, Mingjie Li

Heavily based on social impact theory and this opinion formation paper.

Initialization

Recommended: To set up using conda enter conda env create --yes -f environment.yml and activate using conda activate css-project

Alternative: Using pip only, start by creating a virtual environment python -m venv .venv, activate it using source .venv/bin/activate and run pip install -r requirements.txt to initialize the environment

Results

The research and major results have been summarized and can be viewed in the presentation file which you can download here.

Many visualizations and results can be found in the figures folder, such as:

Oscillations of leader influence (center node) in stochastic cellular automata Self-organized criticality on stochastic cellular automata Unification near critical temperature on network (visualized on lattice)
