arXiv:2608. 15689v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: This study presents a hybrid epidemiological and behavioural framework to simulate the spread of health misinformation on social media.
arXiv:2606. 02867v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human behaviour during epidemics affects infectious disease dynamics, but quantifying this remains deeply challenging.
arXiv:2608. 15691v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Health misinformation circulating during pandemics can gain traction rapidly, creating harmful narratives that compete with public health guidance.
arXiv:2602. 20134v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Epidemiological models increasingly rely on crowdsourced, self-reported behavioral data such as vaccination status, mask usage, and social distancing adherence.
arXiv:2606. 08483v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Background: Consumer-facing large language models are now a common source of health information, and they interpret and personalize responses rather than retrieve them.
arXiv:2608. 16323v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The spread of misinformation on social networks poses a significant challenge to online communities and society at large.
arXiv:2607. 12336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies, while serving as a foundational enabler for modern social media and digital health services, exert a bivalent effect by simultaneously acting as a combatant against and a spread vector for misinformation.
arXiv:2608. 07498v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Autonomous AI agents in social media present concrete risks to democratic discourse and platform governance, while also offering tools for pre-deployment recommender system testing.
arXiv:2606. 00467v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used for zero-shot annotation and LLM-as-a-judge tasks, yet their reliability hinges on how model-internalized priors interact with user-provided instructions.
Cancer-related discussions on social media provide an important space for information exchange and peer support, but also facilitate the spread of misinformation that may influence prevention, screening, and treatment decisions. Existing research on cancer misinformation often relies on narrow definitions, small-scale datasets, or binary labeling frameworks.
arXiv:2606. 07237v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) are increasingly used in healthcare for tasks such as clinical question answering, diagnosis support, and report summarization.
Large language models (LLMs) frequently encounter inputs that disagree with their prior outputs, through user pushback, retrieved documents, or web search results. While the way they resolve such conflicts -- a process we frame as cognitive dissonance resolution -- has been characterized behaviorally, its connection to internal model uncertainty is not well understood.
arXiv:2608. 14630v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Human decision-making is often shaped by a range of well-documented cognitive biases.
