• Title: The language and social behavior of innovators
• Authors: A. Fronzetti Colladon, L. Toschi, E. Ughetto, F. Greco
• Abstract summary: We analyze about 38,000 posts available in the intranet forum of a large multinational company. We find that innovators write more, use a more complex language, introduce new concepts/ideas, and use positive but factual-based language.

• Abstract: Innovators are creative people who can conjure the ground-breaking ideas that represent the main engine of innovative organizations. Past research has extensively investigated who innovators are and how they behave in work-related activities. In this paper, we suggest that it is necessary to analyze how innovators behave in other contexts, such as in informal communication spaces, where knowledge is shared without formal structure, rules, and work obligations. Drawing on communication and network theory, we analyze about 38,000 posts available in the intranet forum of a large multinational company. From this, we explain how innovators differ from other employees in terms of social network behavior and language characteristics. Through text mining, we find that innovators write more, use a more complex language, introduce new concepts/ideas, and use positive but factual-based language. Understanding how innovators behave and communicate can support the decision-making processes of managers who want to foster innovation.

  We study Large Language Models (LLMs) that play Little Alchemy 2, a creative video game originally developed for humans. We study groups of LLMs that share information related to their behaviour and focus on the effect of social connectivity on collective performance. Our work reveals opportunities and challenges for future studies of collective innovation that are becoming increasingly relevant as Generative Artificial Intelligence algorithms and humans innovate alongside each other.

  We argue that many of these issues share a common core: a lack of awareness of the factors, context, and implications of the social environment in which NLP operates. We argue that substantial challenges remain for NLP to develop social awareness and that we are just at the beginning of a new era for the field.

  We present the first rigorous vision of a scalable end-to-end semantic communication network. We first discuss how the design of semantic communication networks requires a move from data-driven networks towards knowledge-driven ones. By using semantic representation and languages, we show that the traditional transmitter and receiver now become a teacher and apprentice.

  In dynamic topologies, humans oscillate between innovating individually or in small clusters, and then sharing outcomes with others. We show that experience sharing within a dynamic topology achieves the highest level of innovation across tasks. These contributions can advance our understanding of optimal AI-AI, human-human, and human-AI collaborative networks.
