- Abstract: This paper investigates the communication styles and structures of Twitter (X) communities within the vaccination context. While mainstream research primarily focuses on the echo-chamber phenomenon, wherein certain ideas are reinforced and participants are isolated from opposing opinions, this study reveals the presence of diverse communication styles across various communities. In addition to the communities exhibiting echo-chamber behavior, this research uncovers communities with distinct communication patterns. By shedding light on the nuanced nature of communication within social networks, this study emphasizes the significance of understanding the diversity of perspectives within online communities.

Survey [71.43956423427397]
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.

We introduce the collaborative multi-object navigation task CoMON.
In this task, an oracle agent has detailed environment information in the form of a map.
It communicates with a navigator agent that perceives the environment visually and is tasked to find a sequence of goals.
We show that the emergent communication can be grounded to the agent observations and the spatial structure of the 3D environment.

BERT [9.98785450861229]
We analyze two months of English comments in 474 Reddit communities.
The specificity of different sense clusters to a community, combined with the specificity of a community's unique word types, is used to identify cases where a social group's language deviates from the norm.
We find that communities with highly distinctive language are medium-sized, and their loyal and highly engaged users interact in dense networks.

We propose a multilevel clustering technique (MCT) that leverages structural and textual information to identify local communities termed microcosms.
The approach offers a better understanding and clarity toward describing how low-level communities evolve and behave on Twitter.
