Predicting the long-term collective behaviour of fish pairs with deep learning

Francesco Mondada, Alexandre Massoud Alahi, Vaios Papaspyros

Modern computing has enhanced our understanding of how social interactions shape collective behaviour in animal societies. Although analytical models dominate in studying collective behaviour, this study introduces a deep learning model to assess social in ...

Computational Approaches for Studying Dietary Behaviors with Digital Traces

Kristina Gligoric

Human nutrition and dietary habits shape our health, daily life, societies, the environment, and life on earth in general. However, it remains challenging to understand and attempt to change dietary behaviors using traditional methods due to measurement an ...

A data-driven method for reconstructing and modelling social interactions in moving animal groups

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet, Vaios Papaspyros

Group-living organisms that collectively migrate range from cells and bacteria to human crowds, and include swarms of insects, schools of fish, and flocks of birds or ungulates. Unveiling the behavioural and cognitive mechanisms by which these groups coord ...

Neuropharmacology of the mesolimbic system and associated circuits on social hierarchies

Maria del Carmen Sandi Perez, Michael van der Kooij, Sriparna Ghosal

Most socially living species are organized hierarchically, primarily based on individual differences in social dominance. Dominant individuals typically gain privileged access to important resources, such as food, mating partners and territories, whereas s ...

Follow the dummy: measuring the influence of a biomimetic robotic fish-lure on the collective decisions of a zebrafish shoal inside a circular corridor

Francesco Mondada, Frank Bonnet

Robotic agents that are accepted by animals as conspecifics are very powerful tools in behavioral biology because of the ways they help in studying social interactions in gregarious animals. In recent years, we have developed a biomimetic robotic fish lure ...

Valuation, Recognition, and Signaling in the Digital Public Sphere: the TED Talk Ranking Ecosystem

Gianluigi Viscusi, Heidi Christina Gautschi

In the past few years a new actor, who is playing an increasingly important role in ranking ideas and the scholars who share them, has emerged: the TED organization. While debate has surrounded popular academic research output rankings such as, impact fact ...

Reliability and Validity of Nonverbal Thin Slices in Social Interactions

Laurent Son Nguyen, Denise Frauendorfer

Four studies investigated the reliability and validity of thin slices of nonverbal behavior from social interactions including (a) how well individual slices of a given behavior predict other slices in the same interaction; (b) how well a slice of a given ...

Social Interface and Interaction Design for Group Recommender Systems

Yu Chen

Group recommender systems suggest items of interest to a group of people. Traditionally, group recommenders provide recommendations by aggregation the group membersâ preferences. Nowadays, there is a trend of decentralized group recommendation process th ...

Triggering social interactions: chimpanzees respond to imitation by a humanoid robot and request responses from it

Aude Billard

Even the most rudimentary social cues may evoke affiliative responses in humans and promote socialcommunication and cohesion. The present work tested whether such cues of an agent may also promotecommunicative interactions in a nonhuman primate species, by ...

Computational modeling of face-to-face social interaction using nonverbal behavioral cues

Dinesh Babu Jayagopi

The computational modeling of face-to-face interactions using nonverbal behavioral cues is an emerging and relevant problem in social computing. In the thesis, we have investigated individual social constructs in small groups such as dominance and status ( ...
