Cognitively-plausible reinforcement learning in epidemiological agent-based simulations by Konstantinos Mitsopoulos, Lawrence Baker, Christian Lebiere, Peter Pirolli, Mark Orr, Raffaele Vardavas

“…Simulations reveal that local social cues drive tightly clustered masking behavior (slope = 0.54, Pearson r = 0.76), while reliance on global cues alone produces weakly disassortative patterns (slope = 0.05, Pearson r = 0.09), underscoring the role of local information in coordinating public health compliance.DiscussionOur results show that this framework provides a scalable and cognitively interpretable approach to integrating adaptive decision-making into epidemiological simulations, offering actionable insights for public health policy.…”

The evolution of the ‘Carpathian Basin’ discourse in the Hungarian parliament (1998-2020) by Katona Eszter, Németh Renáta, Unger Anna

“…By processing 1525 speeches, we examine changes in the discourse of three major political blocs (right-wing nationalist, liberal/left, and Fidesz) to capture the linguistic representation of the dynamics of political polarization, and to identify changes in politically driven identity patterns and framing differences. Our paper has both methodological and substantive relevance. …”
