The ability of mimicry to signal affiliation to, and elicit affiliation from, the mimicked person has generated great interest, but no definitive account of these phenomena has emerged. While affiliation is often cited as the driving force behind mimicry, ...

Glossary Collaborative filtering: a recommendation method which is based on rating information of the user community Content-based filtering: a recommendation method which is based on characteristics of the recommended items as well as individual user feedback Hybrid recommender system: a recommender system that combines different recommendation approaches or data sources Rating matrix: a grid ...

When two people move in synchrony, they become more social. Yet it is not clear how this effect scales up to larger numbers of people. Does a group need to move in unison to affiliate, in what we term unitary synchrony; or does affiliation arise from distributed coordination, patterns of coupled movements between individual members of a group? We developed choreographic tasks that manipulated m...

A fisheye camera lens is a very wide angle lens that magnifies nearby objects while shrinking distant objects. It is a valuable tool for seeing both “local detail” and “global context” simultaneously. This paper describes a system for viewing and browsing graphs using a software analog of a fisheye lens. We first show how to implement such a view using solely geometric transformations. We then ...

Our paper discusses the potential use of Web Content Mining techniques for gathering scientific social information from the homepages of researchers. We will introduce our system which seeks [affiliation, position, start year, end year] information tuples on these homepages along with preliminary experimental results. We believe that the lessons learnt from these experiments may be useful for f...

Vertices of an affiliation network are linked to attributes and two vertices are declared adjacent whenever they share a common attribute. For example, two customers of an internet shop (or video-sharing website) are called adjacent if they have purchased (or downloaded) the same or similar items. Assuming that each newly arrived customer is linked preferentially to already popular items we obt...

• We tested the effect of an affiliation goal on spontaneous trait inference (STI). • We found a positivity bias in STIs in response to an affiliation goal. • Those with the goal formed more positive (vs. negative) STIs compared to controls. • This positivity bias persisted when the goal was unfulfilled versus fulfilled. • We conclude that STIs form flexibly in response to perceivers' social go...
