• Abstract: The relationship between urban mobility, social networks and socioeconomic status is complex and difficult to apprehend, notably due to the lack of data. Here we use mobile phone data to analyze the socioeconomic structure of spatial and social interaction in the Chilean's urban system. Based on the concept of spatial and social events, we develop a methodology to assess the level of spatial and social interactions between locations according to their socioeconomic status. We demonstrate that people with the same socioeconomic status preferentially interact with locations and people with a similar socioeconomic status. We also show that this proximity varies similarly for both spatial and social interactions during the course of the week. Finally, we highlight that these preferential interactions appear to be holding when considering city-city interactions.

  We propose a novel approach that recognizes textbfContextual textbfSocial textbfRelationships (textbfConSoR) from a social cognitive perspective. We construct social-aware descriptive language prompts with social relationships for each image. Impressively, ConSoR outperforms previous methods with a 12.2% gain on the People-in-Social-Context (PISC) dataset and a 9.8% increase on the People-in-Photo-Album (PIPA) benchmark.

  We present SOTOPIA, an open-ended environment to simulate complex social interactions between artificial agents and humans. In our environment, agents role-play and interact under a wide variety of scenarios; they coordinate, collaborate, exchange, and compete with each other to achieve complex social goals. We find that GPT-4 achieves a significantly lower goal completion rate than humans and struggles to exhibit social commonsense reasoning and strategic communication skills.

  We propose a three-dimensional space to analyze social mixing, which is embedded in the temporal dynamics of urban activities. While residential areas fail to encourage social mixing in the nighttime, the working hours foster inclusion, with the city center showing a heightened level of interaction. leisure areas emerge as potential facilitators for social interactions, depending on urban features such as public transport and a variety of Points Of Interest.

  We create a dataset of physically-grounded abstract social events, PHASE, that resemble a wide range of real-life social interactions. Phase is validated with human experiments demonstrating that humans perceive rich interactions in the social events. As a baseline model, we introduce a Bayesian inverse planning approach, SIMPLE, which outperforms state-of-the-art feed-forward neural networks.
