Agent-Based Dynamic Models of Opinion Formation: Where Are We Now?

Explore the current state of agent-based dynamic models of opinion formation in this 58-minute seminar from the Dynamic Games and Applications series. Delve into the fascinating world of social complexity and collective behavior emergence through social influence. Examine how opinions, represented as numerical characteristics of individuals, evolve on both microscopic and macroscopic levels. Focus on microscopic dynamical models involving continuous opinions, which have garnered significant attention in dynamical systems, control theory, and AI. Discover the main achievements in analyzing these models and learn about new challenges in the field. Gain insights from Anton V. Proskurnikov of Politecnico di Torino, Italy, as he presents this comprehensive overview of opinion formation modeling.
