AbstractProsocial motives such as social equality and efficiency are key to altruistic behaviors. However, predicting the range of altruistic behaviors in varying contexts and individuals proves challenging if we limit ourselves to one or two motives. Here we demonstrate the numerous, interdependent motives in altruistic behaviors and the possibility to disentangle them through behavioral experimental data and computational modeling.

AbstractKnowledge seeking is innate to human nature, yet integrating vast and fragmented information into a unified network is a daunting challenge, especially in the information explosion era. Graph theory describes knowledge as a network characterising relationships (edges) between isolated data (nodes). Accordingly, knowledge learning could be abstracted as network navigation through random walks, where local connections are gradually learned and integrated to form the global picture.

AbstractProsocial motives such as social equality and efficiency are key to altruistic behaviors. However, predicting the range of altruistic behaviors in varying contexts and among different individuals proves challenging if we limit ourselves to one or two motives, as most previous studies have done. Here we demonstrate the numerous, interdependent motives in altruistic behaviors and the possibility to disentangle them through behavioral experimental data and computational modeling.
