    Fostering Collective Intelligence in Human–AI Collaboration: Laying the Groundwork for COHUMAIN
    with Pranav Gupta, Cleotilde Gonzalez, and Anita Williams Woolley
    Topics in Cognitive Science. forthcoming.
    Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered machines are increasingly mediating our work and many of our managerial, economic, and cultural interactions. While technology enhances individual capability in many ways, how do we know that the sociotechnical system as a whole, consisting of a complex web of hundreds of human–machine interactions, is exhibiting collective intelligence? Research on human–machine interactions has been conducted within different disciplinary silos, resulting in social science …Read more

    Circular economy (CE), a sustainability concept that promotes resource efficiency and waste re-duction, has garnered significant popularity in recent years due to its potential to address pressing environmental and economic challenges. This study develops the Bayesian Mindsponge Mindspongeconomics (BMM) framework/analytic method based on Bayesian Mindsponge framework (BMF) to the factors influencing young adults' pro-environmental behavior and purchases of green products at different price level…Read more

    Extent to which people perceive and accept Covid-19 vaccines in north central Vietnam
    with Thang Ngo, Thi-Hong Diep Pham, Hong-Thi Nguyen, Thi-Huong-Lan Nguyen, and Quy Van Khuc
    VMOST Journal of Social Sciences and Humanities 64 (2): 63-74. 2022.
    To achieve herd immunity against Covid-19, the willingness of residents to get vaccinated and successful vaccination policies go hand in hand. This paper aims to understand the perceptions, acceptance, hesitation, and refusal of Covid-19 vaccines in Nghe An, Vietnam. We used an online survey to collect data during March of 2021. The Bayesian regression model (BRM) was used to identify the factors affecting vaccination decisions. The empirical results show that respondents’ livelihoods were consi…Read more

    Theory of Mind From Observation in Cognitive Models and Humans
    Topics in Cognitive Science 14 (4): 665-686. 2022.
    A major challenge for research in artificial intelligence is to develop systems that can infer the goals, beliefs, and intentions of others (i.e., systems that have theory of mind, ToM). In this research, we propose a cognitive ToM framework that uses a well-known theory of decisions from experience to construct a computational representation of ToM. Instance-based learning theory (IBLT) is used to construct a cognitive model that generates ToM from the observation of other agents' behavior. The…Read more

    Effects of Behavioural Strategy on the Exploitative Competition Dynamics
    with Doanh Nguyen-Ngoc
    Acta Biotheoretica 64 (4): 495-517. 2016.
    We investigate a system of two species exploiting a common resource. We consider both abiotic (i.e. with a constant resource supply rate) and biotic (i.e. with resource reproduction and self-limitation) resources. We are interested in the asymmetric competition where a given consumer is the locally superior resource exploiter (LSE) and the other is the locally inferior resource exploiter (LIE). They also interact directly via interference competition in the sense that LIE individuals can use two…Read more

    Can Fishing Pressure Invert the Outcome of Interspecific Competition? The Case of the Thiof and of the Octopus Along the Senegalese Coast
    with Didier Jouffre, Sidy Ly, Pierre Auger, and Doanh Nguyen-Ngoc
    Acta Biotheoretica 64 (4): 519-536. 2016.
    We present a mathematical model of two competing marine species that are harvested. We consider three models according to different levels of complexity, without and with species refuge and density-independent and density-dependent species movement between fishing area and refuge. We particularly study the effects of the fishing pressure on the outcome of the competition. We focus on conditions that allow an inferior competitor to invade as a result of fishing pressure. The model is discussed in…Read more
