• Abstract summary: We show that life-course events, such as job loss, can disrupt individual mobility patterns. Job loss drives a significant change in the exploratory behaviour of individuals. Findings shed light on the dynamics of employment-related behavior at scale.

• Abstract: In recent years, human mobility research has discovered universal patterns capable of describing how people move. These regularities have been shown to partly depend on individual and environmental characteristics (e.g., gender, rural/urban, country). In this work, we show that life-course events, such as job loss, can disrupt individual mobility patterns. Adversely affecting individuals' well-being and potentially increasing the risk of social and economic inequalities, we show that job loss drives a significant change in the exploratory behaviour of individuals with changes that intensify over time since job loss. Our findings shed light on the dynamics of employment-related behavior at scale, providing a deeper understanding of key components in human mobility regularities. These drivers can facilitate targeted social interventions to support the most vulnerable populations.

• Differences of communication activity and mobility patterns between urban and rural people [0.0]
  This study uses the call detail records (CDRs) to analyze the social communication and mobility patterns of people. Results show that in the urban areas people have high calling activity but low mobility, while in the rural areas they show the opposite behaviour. Age and gender of individuals have also been observed to play a role in the seasonal patterns differently in urban and rural areas.

  Humans have needs motivating their behavior according to intensity and context. We also create preferences associated with each action's perceived pleasure, which is susceptible to changes over time. This makes decision-making more complex, requiring learning to balance needs and preferences according to the context.

  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.

  In social robotics, endowing humanoid robots with the ability to generate bodily expressions of affect can improve human-robot interaction and collaboration. We implement a deep learning data-driven framework that learns from a few hand-designed robotic bodily expressions. The evaluation study found that the anthropomorphism and animacy of the generated expressions are not perceived differently from the hand-designed ones.

  We show that it is possible to replicate human behavioral data in both individual and social task settings by modifying the precision of prior and sensory signals. An analysis of the neural activation traces of the trained networks provides evidence that information is coded in fundamentally different ways in the network in the individual and in the social conditions.

  We study how individual-level mobility patterns carry a large degree of information regarding the nature of the regularities in mobility.

  We study how individuals adapted their daily movements and person-to-person contact patterns over time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the NPIs. We find that local interventions did not just impact the number of visits to different venues but also how people experience them. Individuals spend less time in venues, preferring simpler and more predictable routines and reducing person-to-person contact activities.

  We employ survey data together with social media data to analyse personality, moral values, but also cultural elements of the young unemployed population in Italy. Our findings show that there are small but significant differences in personality and moral values, with the unemployed males to be less agreeable. Unemployed have a more collectivist point of view, valuing more in-group loyalty, authority, and purity foundations.

In this paper we explore the possibility of exploiting physical characteristics and signal similarity to achieve better results.
