Human mobility is well described by closed-form gravity-like models learned automatically from data

2 code implementations18 Dec 2023 Oriol Cabanas-Tirapu, Lluís Danús, Esteban Moro, Marta Sales-Pardo, Roger Guimerà

At the other end, we have complex machine learning and deep learning models, with tens of features and thousands of parameters, which predict mobility more accurately than gravity models at the cost of not being interpretable and not providing insight on human behavior.

Adverse weather amplifies social media activity

no code implementations16 Feb 2023 Kelton Minor, Esteban Moro, Nick Obradovich

Weather that is adverse on both the temperature and precipitation dimensions produces markedly larger increases in social media activity.

Identifying latent activity behaviors and lifestyles using mobility data to describe urban dynamics

no code implementations24 Sep 2022 Yanni Yang, Alex Pentland, Esteban Moro

Urbanization and its problems require an in-depth and comprehensive understanding of urban dynamics, especially the complex and diversified lifestyles in modern cities.

Generating synthetic mobility data for a realistic population with RNNs to improve utility and privacy

1 code implementation4 Jan 2022 Alex Berke, Ronan Doorley, Kent Larson, Esteban Moro

Related generative approaches have not solved the challenges of capturing both the patterns and variability in individuals' mobility behaviors over longer time periods, while also balancing the generation of realistic data with privacy.

Leveraging Communication Topologies Between Learning Agents in Deep Reinforcement Learning

no code implementations16 Feb 2019 Dhaval Adjodah, Dan Calacci, Abhimanyu Dubey, Anirudh Goyal, Peter Krafft, Esteban Moro, Alex Pentland

A common technique to improve learning performance in deep reinforcement learning (DRL) and many other machine learning algorithms is to run multiple learning agents in parallel.

Weather impacts expressed sentiment

no code implementations31 Aug 2017 Patrick Baylis, Nick Obradovich, Yury Kryvasheyeu, Haohui Chen, Lorenzo Coviello, Esteban Moro, Manuel Cebrian, James H. Fowler

We conduct the largest ever investigation into the relationship between meteorological conditions and the sentiment of human expressions.

The Minority Game: an introductory guide

no code implementations26 Feb 2004 Esteban Moro

The Minority Game is a simple model for the collective behavior of agents in an idealized situation where they have to compete through adaptation for a finite resource.
