This study focuses on the contrasting dynamics of discussion and information dissemination on two influential platforms: X and Wikipedia. While X often serves as a battleground for contentious debates, where users engage in direct confrontation, Wikipedia fosters a collaborative environment aimed at reaching consensus.

Cholera continues to cause significant illness and death in regions with limited access to clean water and healthcare. While mathematical models help us understand how cholera spreads, most fail to capture the full complexity involving both person-to-person contact and bacteria in water sources.

This study explores how pruning strategies can improve the efficiency of deep neural networks (DNNs), which are widely used for tasks like image processing, medical diagnosis, etc. Although DNNs are powerful, they often contain weaker connections that can lead to increased energy consumption both during training and inference.

Review
The technology innovation in big data, artificial intelligence, urban computing, and digital twins have laid the groundwork for sophisticated city simulation. However, a gap persists between these technological capabilities and their practical implementation in addressing urban issues because they often fall short of capturing the complex and subtle human behaviour in urban space.

Connectomes constrain how signals flow through the nervous system, shaping the transmission of sensory information to downstream targets involved in perception, decision-making, and action. The authors use a simple, network-based spreading model to simulate sensory signal propagation across the adult Drosophila...

The authors consider the problem of selecting k seed nodes in a network to maximize the minimum probability of activation under an independent cascade beginning at these seeds. The motivation is to promote fairness by ensuring that even the least advantaged members of the network have good access to information.

Attributing outputs from Large Language Models (LLMs) in adversarial settings—such as cyberattacks and disinformation campaigns—presents significant challenges that are likely to grow in importance. The authors approach this attribution problem from both a theoretical and empirical perspective, drawing on formal language theory and data-driven analysis of the expanding LLM ecosystem.
