Prikvačeni tweet
I'm teaching a graduate class called "Network Epistemology" this semester. As an experiment, I'm going to do a twitter thread each week about what we're reading and some general reactions to it. (In order to remain on-brand, I'm already two weeks late with the first one.)

Nice thread reviewing models of information cascades. Important to think about as we consider the consequences of scientific reforms such as open peer review.https://twitter.com/KevinZollman/status/1224342260269096960 …

One of my favorite one-off projects was as a postdoc working on tungara frogs at
@stri_panama, where I had noticed that mixed-species choruses of frogs stopped calling all at once, and then resumed after a short interval. Why would they do that?https://academic.oup.com/beheco/article/18/1/108/209256 …Prikaži ovu nitHvala. Twitter će to iskoristiti za poboljšanje vaše vremenske crte. PoništiPoništi -
And here is the thread about week 2. Stay tuned later this week for week 3.https://twitter.com/KevinZollman/status/1224342260269096960?s=20 …

Information cascades are a very early example of how rationality can fail to "scale up" -- rational individuals can make up groups that look pretty irrational. And that's a very important fact to know.

But, I also think the historical narrative is interesting. Before the information cascade models came out, economic bubbles and crashes seemed like a violation of the classic "rational actor" model. What these models show is that they are not.

Lots has been said about the information cascade model. I think it's neat to think about, especially during primary season in the US where states vote in sequence and a lot of attention is paid to the early states (like Iowa TODAY).

For a philosopher, this is a really interesting conclusion because it's a case where a false belief makes a group of rational agents better at converging to the truth. It sounds almost (but not quite) paradoxical, and that makes it a very interesting case study.

The most interesting conclusion of her model is that the group does better when the individuals think that others are *rarely* uninformed -- even if that belief is false.

Lastly we read this really cool paper by my colleague Aislinn Bohren. She looks at the possibility that some people might be uninformed -- they might not see the actions of others in front of them. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5a1b26c580bd5e0fc6dbd478/t/5a1c36a28165f542d6d18d7b/1511798434911/Bohren_InformationalHerdingModelMisspecification.pdf …

In that setting, the mathematical model would predict that the information cascade *might* go away. And that's what Hung and Plott find with humans in the lab. When incentivized to care about the group, the amount of cascade-like behavior goes way down.

But, they also explore another interesting setting. In the classic model, each individual wants to be right -- I'm striving for *my* vote to be correct. But what if I was only incentivized for the group to be correct?

Third, we read this paper by Hung and Plott which presents an experiment on information cascades. First, they confirm that humans, when placed in the same setting, behave largely like the mathematical model. https://www.jstor.org/stable/pdf/2677936.pdf?casa_token=xZSoNslEqDMAAAAA:AYuhbuiSO1ublHqlQWSQ1AvDZN3bnhDbYR5BRtCGAhuGAHl7CmG51fb8yXJ2xDwz3qZi__bNTUu0h4a7Z-6RJUcID7yX7h7IagfMa6P_DBLgDsP7TAe4 …

The comparison is interesting: if everyone was ignorant of how others are voting the group would do better. So this is a setting where limiting information would improve the performance of the group.

Second, we read a paper by List and Petit. They explore some of those same issues about "free riding" on the information provided by others. They also show how the case compares with the Condorcet Jury Theorem that my class read last week. https://openresearch-repository.anu.edu.au/bitstream/1885/41067/3/epistemicFR0108.pdf …

But he also discusses a critical point about these models: that they are an example of a social dilemma (like the Prisoner's dilemma). Each individual is acting so as to maximize their individual chance of being right. But collectively, they all end up worse off as a result.

We started by reading one of the two classic papers on the topic by Banerjee. Banerjee presents a version of the model I just described (although his is a little weird in some respects). https://watermark.silverchair.com/107-3-797.pdf?token=AQECAHi208BE49Ooan9kkhW_Ercy7Dm3ZL_9Cf3qfKAc485ysgAAAmswggJnBgkqhkiG9w0BBwagggJYMIICVAIBADCCAk0GCSqGSIb3DQEHATAeBglghkgBZQMEAS4wEQQM87xDjQPpmaNLA6wZAgEQgIICHiw0emVVaymYnOekc1-v-fp-QlB_V41wOAaK7zH9jId6YOitynWhW9e8MKa1d5YoVP_tPL2JlcXZ20j4GsBsT0VWTYLWpsquuTsYzZnOLZeDCT3WoGq9IgogGTMOKj8eEdBciwIP13Q_dtScLpnHaYE8JKJORknZnyBLOkMNS0IZIMriZn2CeM5q7yZOxoTcOMP0XxDMk8RPYIYNDBXr0vIOIvuYXZwzZ3QMiTpBaoZ5jEueamjbbM7Fm_YP09XlaCPc-10F8JGqlSjws2e4boSnHYyT-HCwkERsjPN3hgtqy-j69XlQK32SKz164bDgPhscZAWIWxZR3279xdNtO11tmczBt5a0FwlFXf8gkCGGBuYZOko9liyVGPHecbxDecVRSXSMoDWMqiT4quYkpym38vJzEXwYd6EBKvPdlzUEFa2O-0QwJPA8VnRQXHcvCMs5TAMVz5U0s16UIy00Tw6WWwPzFM9I2kMcMpZeX8Z6f3-VscDU2YMGsItiTYk6y6vVoIEqvGqvuC2yAE5KqnVUU13I9V_gGoVuprh4HpckjQ7ocBc95srd3PG0TH3PwZ_z5yvZMI14x3oSu_3CvSKvGmXuuOiDxXsojcZbsGHObs1GpfTGfOnpuvG6mHtmliv5z_V_0vOwIJEtlZO9Ch7k1PXarehFMk9f-tX115hOndzgXQSlmM_JYZ-V9pxvDcs_gxNxgPEHV8GIAklu …

And this is the basic fact of information cascade models: people can behave like they are conforming, when in reality they are just learning from each other. If the first few people are wrong they can start a "cascade" of false votes that render the entire group wrong.

Because they see how others vote, they can update their opinion about the chance of rain. If I don't think it's going to rain, but I see three people with umbrellas, I might change my mind. And so might others behind me.
