• Title: Properties of Reddit News Topical Interactions
• Authors: Ga\"el Poux-M\'edard, Julien Velcin, Sabine Loudcher
• Abstract summary: We propose to extend and apply one such model to determine whether interactions between news headlines on Reddit play a significant role in their underlying publication mechanisms. After conducting an in-depth case study on 100,000 news headline from 2019, we retrieve state-of-the-art conclusions about interactions.

• Abstract: Most models of information diffusion online rely on the assumption that pieces of information spread independently from each other. However, several works pointed out the necessity of investigating the role of interactions in real-world processes, and highlighted possible difficulties in doing so: interactions are sparse and brief. As an answer, recent advances developed models to account for interactions in underlying publication dynamics. In this article, we propose to extend and apply one such model to determine whether interactions between news headlines on Reddit play a significant role in their underlying publication mechanisms. After conducting an in-depth case study on 100,000 news headline from 2019, we retrieve state-of-the-art conclusions about interactions and conclude that they play a minor role in this dataset.

  Moltbook is a Reddit-like social platform where AI agents create posts and interact with other agents through comments and replies.<n>Using a public API snapshot collected about five days after launch, we address three research questions: what AI agents discuss, how they post, and how they interact.<n>We show that agents' writing is predominantly neutral, with positivity appearing in community engagement and assistance-oriented content.

  Embodied AI agents will require the ability to perform new tasks in many different real-world environments. Current foundation models fail to accurately model physical interactions and are therefore insufficient for Embodied AI. The study of causality lends itself to the construction of veridical world models.

• Machine learning the interaction network in coupled dynamical systems [0.0]
  In a collection of interacting particles, the interaction network contains information about how various components interact with one another. In this work, we employ a self-supervised neural network model to achieve two outcomes: to recover the interaction network and to predict the dynamics of individual agents.

  We examined over 16,000 papers from selected conferences in multimodal interaction, affective computing, and natural language processing. We identify 910 affect-related papers and present our analysis of the role of affective phenomena in these papers. We find limited research on how affect and emotion predictions might be used by AI systems to enhance machine understanding of human social behaviors and cognitive states.

  Multi-agent imitation learning aims to train multiple agents to perform tasks from demonstrations by learning a mapping between observations and actions. In this paper, we propose to use copula, a powerful statistical tool for capturing dependence among random variables, to explicitly model the correlation and coordination in multi-agent systems. Our proposed model is able to separately learn marginals that capture the local behavioral patterns of each individual agent, as well as a copula function that solely and fully captures the dependence structure among agents.

  We introduce an efficient method to infer the entities interaction network and its evolution according to the temporal distance separating interacting entities. The interaction profile allows characterizing the mechanisms of the interaction processes. We show that the effect of a combination of exposures on a user is more than the sum of each exposure's independent effect--there is an interaction.

  We propose a novel latent factor model called COMET, which simultaneously model the high-order interaction patterns among historical interactions and embedding dimensions. To be specific, COMET stacks the embeddings of historical interactions horizontally at first, which results in two "embedding maps" In this way, internal interactions and dimensional interactions can be exploited by convolutional neural networks with kernels of different sizes simultaneously.
