Modelling Dynamic Interactions between Relevance Dimensions
Relevance is an underlying concept in the field of Information Science and Retrieval. It is a cognitive notion consisting of several different criteria or dimensions. Theoretical models of relevance allude to interdependence between these dimensions, where their interaction and fusion leads to the final inference of relevance. We study the interaction between the relevance dimensions using the mathematical framework of Quantum Theory. It is considered a generalised framework to model decision making under uncertainty, involving multiple perspectives and influenced by context. Specifically, we conduct a user study by constructing the cognitive analogue of a famous experiment in Quantum Physics. The data is used to construct a complex-valued vector space model of the user's cognitive state, which is used to explain incompatibility and interference between relevance dimensions. The implications of our findings to inform the design of Information Retrieval systems are also discussed.

Simulation of emergence in artificial societies: a practical model-based approach with the EB-DEVS formalism
Modelling and simulation of complex systems is key to exploring and understanding social processes, benefiting from formal mechanisms to derive global-level properties from local-level interactions. In this paper we exte…
Cultural Vocal Bursts Intensity PredictionGlobal minimization via classical tunneling assisted by collective force field formation
Simple dynamical models can produce intricate behaviors in large networks. These behaviors can often be observed in a wide variety of physical systems captured by the network of interactions. Here we describe a phenomeno…
Coupling between COVID-19 and seasonal influenza leads to synchronization of their dynamics
Interactions between COVID-19 and other pathogens may change their dynamics. Specifically, this may hinder the modelling of empirical data when the symptoms of both infections are hard to distinguish. We introduce a mode…
Swarm Modelling with Dynamic Mode Decomposition
Modelling biological or engineering swarms is challenging due to the inherently high dimension of the system, despite the often low-dimensional emergent dynamics. Most existing swarm modelling approaches are based on fir…
