• Abstract summary: We investigate the effect of empathy, cooperation, coordination, flexibility, and experience of individuals on their mental well-being. We use a multi-agent-based numerical framework for estimating the social well-being of a community when facing natural disasters. The results show that a high level of cooperation can positively change individual behavior.

• Abstract: In this paper we investigate the resiliency planning of interdependent electric power systems and emergency services. We investigate the effect of the level of empathy, cooperation, coordination, flexibility, and experience of individuals on their mental well-being. Furthermore, we explore the impact of the information that is provided by emergency services and the impact of the availability of electric energy on the physical, mental, and social well-being of individuals. For our simulations, we use a stochastic, multi-agent-based numerical framework that is reported in the companion paper for estimating the social well-being of a community when facing natural disasters such as hurricanes, floods, earthquakes, and tsunamis. The performance of the proposed method is assessed by measuring community resilience for a multitude of effects in the context of two case studies. These effects are analyzed for Gaussian social random characteristics. Each case study considers nine agents, namely, three areas of three communities each, yielding a total of six communities. The results show that a high level of cooperation can positively change individual behavior. In addition, the relationship among the individuals of a community is so vital that the society with less population and more empathy may be more resilient than the community with more population and less empathy.

  This paper presents an integrated three-layer deep learning model for community resilience rating (called Resili-Net) Using publicly accessible data from multiple metropolitan statistical areas in the United States, Resili-Net characterizes the resilience levels of spatial areas into five distinct levels. The interpretability of the model outcomes enables feature analysis for specifying the determinants of resilience in areas within each resilience level.

  We present a new task, Response Forecasting on Personas for News Media, to estimate the response a persona might have upon seeing a news message. The proposed task not only introduces personalization in the modeling but also predicts the sentiment polarity and intensity of each response. This enables more accurate and comprehensive inference on the mental state of the persona.

  Groups coordinate more effectively when individuals are able to learn from others' successes. We suggest that social inference capacities may help bridge this gap, allowing individuals to update their beliefs about others' underlying knowledge and success from observable trajectories of behavior.

  We characterize the subjective wellbeing patterns of 112 cities across the United States during the pandemic prior to vaccine availability. We then measure the pandemic's impact by comparing a community's observed wellbeing with its expected wellbeing. We show that general community traits reflected in language can be predictive of community resilience.

  We aim to identify the nonverbal cues and computational methodologies resulting in effective performance. This survey differs from its counterparts by involving the widest spectrum of social phenomena and interaction settings. Some major observations are: the most often used nonverbal cue, computational method, interaction environment, and sensing approach are speaking activity, support vector machines, and meetings composed of 3-4 persons equipped with microphones and cameras, respectively.

  Community formation is one of the important mechanisms for ameliorating hazard impacts of extreme weather events. We examined human mobility networks in Harris County, Texas, in the context of the managed power outage forced by Winter Storm Uri. We examined three characteristics in the communities formed within human mobility networks: hazard-exposure heterophily, socio-demographic homophily, and social connectedness strength.

  Our work bridges the divide by testing whether two influential social mechanisms can also explain the distribution of community sizes. Using agent-based simulations, we evaluate how well individual-level processes of social exposure and decisions based on individual expected benefits reproduce empirical community size data from Reddit. Our results also illustrate the potential value of agent-based simulation to online community researchers to both evaluate and bridge individual and group-level theories.

• Interpretable Stochastic Block Influence Model: measuring social influence among homophilous communities [4.563449647618151]
  Decision-making on networks can be explained by both homophily and social influence. Social influence can be reasoned through role theory, which indicates that the influences among individuals depend on their roles and the behavior of interest. We propose a generative model named Block Influence Model and jointly analyze both the network formation and the behavioral influence within and between different communities.
