Adaptive social networks promote the wisdom of crowds by Almaatouq, Abdullah, Noriega-Campero, Alejandro, Alotaibi, Abdulrahman, Krafft, P. M., Moussaid, Mehdi, Pentland, Alex

“…To explain these results, we explore two mechanisms: 1) a global-adaptation mechanism where the structural connectivity of the network itself changes such that it amplifies the estimates of high-performing members within the group (i.e., the network “edges” encode the computation); and 2) a local-adaptation mechanism where accurate individuals are more resistant to social influence (i.e., adjustments to the attributes of the “node” in the network); therefore, their initial belief is disproportionately weighted in the collective estimate. …”
