论文摘要
这项工作的重点是设计影响策略以塑造个人网络的集体意见。我们考虑了选民模型的一种变体，其中意见以两种方式之一的发展。在没有外部影响的情况下，观点通过网络中的个体之间的互动而演变，而在存在外部影响的情况下，观点在影响者首选的方向上发生了变化。我们专注于有限的时间马，而有影响力的策略的特征是鉴于其预算限制，它在这种时期中发挥影响力时。此意见动态模型的先前工作假设个人考虑了网络中所有个人的意见。我们将其概括，并考虑一个人的意见演变取决于网络中有限的意见集合。我们将最佳影响策略的性质描述为形成这种观点收集的方式的函数。
The focus of this work is on designing influencing strategies to shape the collective opinion of a network of individuals. We consider a variant of the voter model where opinions evolve in one of two ways. In the absence of external influence, opinions evolve via interactions between individuals in the network, while, in the presence of external influence, opinions shift in the direction preferred by the influencer. We focus on a finite time-horizon and an influencing strategy is characterized by when it exerts influence in this time-horizon given its budget constraints. Prior work on this opinion dynamics model assumes that individuals take into account the opinion of all individuals in the network. We generalize this and consider the setting where the opinion evolution of an individual depends on a limited collection of opinions from the network. We characterize the nature of optimal influencing strategies as a function of the way in which this collection of opinions is formed.
