—This article investigates the pedestrian group as an emergent agent. The article explores empirical data to derive emergent agency and formation state spaces and outline recurring patterns of walking behavior. In this analysis, pedestrian trajectories extracted from surveillance videos are used along with manually…

Through Passive Sensing and Sociometry Authors: ['Diana Romero' 'Yasra Chandio' 'Fatima M. Anwar' 'Salma Elmalaki'] Understanding group behavior is essential for improving collaboration and productivity. While research on group behavior in virtual reality (VR) is significantly advanced, understanding group dynamics in…

From animal societies to self-organizing multi-agent systems, collectives adapt their group structure to tasks and environments. However, how they determine appropriate group sizes and the number of subgroups to form remains unclear. We formulate the Group Size and Number Regulation Problem (GSNRP), which asks how…

The social structure of an animal group controls how members interact, and affects nearly every aspect of an individual’s behavior with others. Rodents are a model system for studying both individual and social behavior, and social status such as dominance affects access to mating opportunities and food resources.…

Humans operate in groups that are oftentimes nested in multilayered collectives such as work units within departments and companies, neighborhoods within cities, and regions within nation states. With psychological science mostly focusing on proximate reasons for individuals to join existing groups and how existing…

'Jun Yin'] People tend to generalize the actions of known group members to new ones when they are both members of the same group. This study was conducted to investigate how the prevalence of specific actions among multiple individuals determines action generalization within social groups. We propose that people rely…

'Enikő Kubinyi' 'Ahmed El Hady' 'Tamás Vicsek'] Rodents serve as an important model for examining both individual and collective behavior. Dominance within rodent social structures can determine access to critical resources, such as food and mating opportunities. Yet, many aspects of the intricate interplay between…

Humans share with other mammals and primates many social motivations and emotions, but they are also much more cooperative than even their closest primate relatives. Here I review recent comparative experiments and analyses that illustrate humans’ species-typical social motivations and emotions for cooperation in…

A growing body of research contributes to our knowledge about unethical behavior. However, very little is known about how group-based competition shape members’ unethical behavior. Building on social learning theory, we conducted three studies to reveal how group-based competition may affect individual’s unethical…

Behavioral differences among groups can have profound impacts on individual fitness^1^, but the ontogeny of group-level differences is poorly characterized. Group-level differences may originate from genetic differences and/or subtle variation among individuals^2–5^, but they are also shaped over time by social…

A group of social animals, including humans, distributes work and rewards and establishes inter-individual relationships through shared experiences of working together. Understanding the neural mechanisms underlying group work is essential for elucidating how social relationships are formed. Thus, a behavioral paradigm…

How individuals’ prior experience and population evolutionary history shape emergent patterns in animal collectives remains a major gap in the study of collective behaviour. One reason for this is that the processes that can shape individual contributions to collective actions can happen over very different timescales…

For animals living in social groups, cooperation is a key factor to success. It has been postulated that in social systems with cooperative breeding or a tolerant dominance style, individuals will benefit each other. Cooperation is, therefore, not expected in long-tailed macaques, since they do not breed together and…

The wide variety of behaviour found in crowds is a challenge for current models of crowd movement behaviour. To aid the development of a new generation of models, this paper develops a systematic observational approach based on social psychological knowledge about how humans recognize and use social meaning and…

Machine olfaction—the artificial replication of the sense of smell—faces significant challenges due to the absence of large, standardized training datasets. Unlike vision, language, and audio models, which benefit from extensive corpora such as ImageNet, GLUE, and AudioSet, olfaction lacks scaled equivalents and…

Persistent homology, building its foundation on homology theory, has been successfully applied various fields containing computation of topology. Here, we derive and implement persistent homology theory to specefic topological spaces with G-invariant covering, whereby persistence over quotient space can be canonically…

This paper updates my 2020 article, “Organising the metals and nonmetals” in which I advocated for parsing the periodic table into four kinds of metals and four of nonmetals. This framework is retained and updated, and augmented with some additional chemistry-related and philosophical observations.

A concise linear encoding of group settings and group-subgroup relations is described. The simple notation allows for unambiguous generalized machine-coded space group settings and intergroup transformation relationships. A correlation between the notation and Hermann-Mauguin names is provided. Use of Hall notation…
