Opinion Maximization in Social Trust Networks

Pinghua Xu, Wenbin Hu, Jia Wu, Weiwei Liu
2020 Proceedings of the Twenty-Ninth International Joint Conference on Artificial Intelligence  
Second, the opinions of individuals are modeled as bipartite states (e.g., support or not) in numerous studies, however, this setting is too strict for many real scenarios.  ...  In addition, we developed two matrix-based methods for these two problems and experiments on realworld datasets to demonstrate the practical utility of our methods.  ...  Equation (7) also constructs the relations between EOP, the fundamental matrix, and internal conflict , which may help to enable the analysis of simultaneous opinion maximization and conflict reduction  ...

Combination of linear discriminant analysis and expert opinion for the construction of credit rating models: The case of SMEs

Mohamed Habachi, Saâd Benbachir, David McMillan
2019 Cogent Business & Management  
In this paper, we will propose a new approach to combine the linear discriminant analysis and the expert opinion by using the Bayesian approach.  ...  This permitted the construction of the statistical rating model and the associated Bayesian models; and to compare the capital requirement determined by these models.  ...  Therefore, the conception process is as follows: The determination of the score function by linear discriminant analysis The modeling of default by linear discriminant analysis is done by the simultaneous  ...

Diverging Opinions

James Andreoni, Tymofiy Mylovanov
2012 American Economic Journal: Microeconomics  
In this paper, we derive a simple model and present an experiment showing that opinion polarization can emerge trivially when one-dimensional opinions are formed from two-dimensional information.  ...  Our analysis shows that people discount information when it is filtered through the actions of others, but not when it is presented directly, indicating that common knowledge of disagreement may be possible  ...  We observe diverging opinions about sundry issues, such as gun control, social welfare benefits, affirmative action, the war in Iraq, and the death penalty.  ...
