Abstract

With the rapid growth of live-streaming e-commerce and digital marketing, abnormal marketing behaviors have become increasingly concealed and coordinated across heterogeneous modalities, challenging platform governance and early risk identification. We propose MM-FGDNet, a data-driven multimodal framework for detecting abnormal behavior in large-scale live-streaming environments from complementary temporal-evolution and group-structure perspectives. A cross-modal temporal alignment module maps video, text, audio, and user behavior into a unified temporal semantic space. A temporal fraud-pattern module captures the progression from weak early signals to abrupt outbreaks, while a cooperative manipulation module identifies coordinated interactions among organized user groups and automated accounts. Experiments on real-world multi-platform live-streaming e-commerce datasets show that MM-FGDNet outperforms representative baselines, achieving an AUC of 0.927, F1 of 0.847, precision of 0.861, recall of 0.834, and an Early Detection Score of 0.689, while reducing false alarms. Ablation studies validate the contribution of each module, and cross-domain experiments demonstrate stable generalization to new streamers, product categories, and platforms. These results indicate that MM-FGDNet provides an effective and scalable solution for proactive detection of coordinated abnormal behavior in live-streaming systems.

A Network Science Perspective on Evaluating Deep Graph Generative Models

Traditional network models from network science, such as the Erdos-Renyi and configuration models, generate random networks that reproduce few selected topological properties observed in real-world networks. Deep graph generative models emerge as a data-driven approach, leveraging deep neural network architectures to learn complex structural distributions directly from real-world networks to generate more realistic synthetic networks. Because real social contact networks cannot be shared due to privacy risks, synthetic networks serve as an alternative for developing and evaluating epidemic mitigation strategies. In this work, we evaluate deep graph generative models as well as the configuration from a network science perspective by assessing both the topological similarity between generated and real-world networks and their utility in identifying effective node immunization strategies to sup- press epidemic/misinformation spreading. It is found that two deep graph generative models produce synthetic networks that closely resemble the structural properties of real-world networks, enabling them to identify effective immunization strategies.

AI agents reshape consensus formation in human groups

As large language model (LLM) agents shift from tools to participants in human groups, a fundamental question for collective behavior is how their growing presence reshapes consensus formation. Here we study mixed human-AI groups in a collaborative description game, in which shared conventions emerge through repeated rounds of random pairwise communication. Varying the proportions of LLM agents, we identify three distinct regimes of consensus formation: low agent proportions facilitate human-led consensus, intermediate proportions disrupt convergence, and high proportions restore strong consensus while shifting it toward agent-led conventions. Crucially, these regimes differ not only in the strength of convergence, but also in the semantic grounding and communicative form of the resulting consensus: human-led consensus is more concrete, holistic, and grounded in shared real-world analogies, whereas agent-led consensus is more abstract, less information-dense, and more geometrically segmented. Mechanistically, agent influence arises from a shared linguistic prior that places agents near one another in the expression space, combined with relatively stable expression choices across rounds; humans initially resist adopting expressions from partners perceived as AI but gradually yield to conformity pressure. These findings provide evidence that AI composition can shape the emergence, content, and perceived legitimacy of group norms, making agent proportion and transparency important design variables for human-AI systems.

Filling holes in science draws collective attention, but most higher-order holes remain unexplored

Much scientific discovery involves filling holes between ideas and arguments that unleash techno-scientific advance. Representing knowledge as high-dimensional concept embeddings, we use persistent homology to detect holes of increasing order, from gaps between disconnected ideas to higher-order cavities, and identify the research works that fill them. We find two empirical asymmetries. Researchers who fill anticipated holes are poised to draw collective attention by staging outsized novelty and foresight, indicating that bridging holes anticipates where science will converge, most strongly in empirical fields and least in formal and design fields. Yet as knowledge grows, higher-order holes explode while the fraction science fills collapses, leaving most higher-order combinations unexplored. These results call for a richer science of holes, and mark a frontier where contemporary AI might help fill the high-dimensional gaps human science opens.
