Abstract

Decentralized Finance (DeFi) transactions involve complex interactions among accounts, smart contracts, and tokens. We investigate whether network topology can identify transaction methods that describe DeFi operations. We extract directed graphlet features to classify the 30 most frequent methods. Our results show that graphlet features complement event log counts in improving classification performance. Using SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP), we further derive model explanations that reveal method-specific graphlet structural patterns.

Monte Carlo Experiments of Network Effects in Randomized Controlled Trials

This paper studies Monte Carlo simulations of content production in Randomized Controlled Trials on social networks modeled as random Watts-Strogatz graphs. Because treatment nodes are surrounded by control nodes, they do not receive the network boost they would receive if the entire network were treated, and part of their boost leaks into control. As a result, the treatment versus control lift underestimates the effect of a full graph-wide rollout. Clustering the treatment group reduces this underestimate, while its size does not depend on the size of the treatment group. These mechanisms appear as seven effects, each captured by a metric: the network effect, spillover effect, experiment dampening effect, intrinsic dampening effect, clustering effect, degree distribution effect and the experiment size effect.

The Effect of Expertise Signaling when Sharing Medical Information in Opinion Dynamics

Social media heavily influences health decisions, yet few opinion dynamics models account for how information is delivered. This work investigates how signaling source expertise shapes trust and long-term opinion formation. Through an online experiment, we find that adding a professional title to the sender's display name significantly increases a post's perceived credibility. Incorporating these findings to create a data-driven opinion dynamics model, we prove that (1) connecting users through some paths to an expert guarantees consensus with experts' opinion, while (2) higher rates of expertise signaling accelerate reaching consensus. Simulations show that (3) convincing even 20% of users to signal their title reduces consensus time to nearly one-third in Erdos-Renyi networks and (4) higher title adoption brings average opinion much closer to that of experts in scale-free and real-world networks. Altogether, our work highlights expertise signaling as a viable intervention to promote validated medical information online.

YouTube Clips and Broad but Shallow Attention to Candidates: Evidence from the 2024 Tokyo Gubernatorial Election

Video-sharing platforms and social media have gained influence in election campaigns, and third-party edited videos (called kirinuki in Japanese; hereafter, "clip videos") in particular have attracted attention. In Japan, Shinji Ishimaru, previously unknown nationally, finished second in the 2024 Tokyo gubernatorial election, a result widely attributed to his popularity on YouTube. Focusing on this case, we analyzed 44,331 YouTube videos relating to the nine leading candidates, posted between July 5, 2020, and July 7, 2024. Using cumulative views and engagement data as of June 25, 2025, we examined the relationship between clip videos and the attention candidates received. Regression analyses with standard errors clustered by channel showed that Ishimaru, the most watched candidate, did not draw the most active engagement. Videos mentioning Ishimaru received about 36% fewer likes and 41% fewer comments at the same number of views, whereas some candidates with fewer views recorded higher engagement rates. Clip videos were associated with this breadth of attention. They received about 1.8 times more views but 26% fewer comments at the same number of views, and mentions of Ishimaru were associated with about 2.6 times more views among non-clip videos. The interaction between the two, however, was not significant, and understanding the prominence of Ishimaru's cumulative views requires considering both the number of clip videos about him and the views per video. These results suggest that the spread of attention through clip videos may have functioned as a broad but shallow pathway, distinct from the formation of committed support.
