Research Project


Information Diffusion and Evolution in Online Communities

Internet communication technologies have created not only an unprecedented opportunity for individuals and communities to disseminate and filter information, but also for researchers the study these processes.

Researchers on this project are building predictive models of information spread in blog and tagging networks, drawing on their previous work identifying network and information characteristics that influence information diffusion. Their focus is on the effect of densely connected communities and their boundaries, as well as the magnitude and location of changes in information as it spreads through the network.
