About This Edition; INTRODUCTION.; LIFE OF MOSES GRANDY.

Sommario/riassunto

Born into slavery in North Carolina around 1786, Moses Grandy was bequeathed to his young playmate, his original owner's son, when they were both eight years old.  Hired out until he was twenty-one, Grandy describes each of his temporary masters-some cruel and some kind.  His first wife is sold shortly after they marry, and he never sees her again.  After saving his money whenever possible and buying his freedom for 600, Grandy is betrayed by his childhood friend, who sells him.  Grandy marries again and purchases his freedom a second time, only to be once again betrayed.  With the assistance

Sommario/riassunto

This book presents the leading models of social network diffusion that are used to demonstrate the spread of disease, ideas, and behavior. It introduces diffusion models from the fields of computer science (independent cascade and linear threshold), sociology (tipping models), physics (voter models), biology (evolutionary models), and epidemiology (SIR/SIS and related models). A variety of properties and problems related to these models are discussed including identifying seeds sets to initiate diffusion, game theoretic problems, predicting diffusion events, and more. The book explores numerous connections between social network diffusion research and artificial intelligence



through topics such as agent-based modeling, logic programming, game theory, learning, and data mining. The book also surveys key empirical results in social network diffusion, and reviews the classic and cutting-edge research with a focus on open problems.
