Message Distortion in Information Cascades

Robert West, Manoel Horta Ribeiro, Kristina Gligoric

Information diffusion is usually modeled as a process in which immutable pieces of information propagate over a network. In reality, however, messages are not immutable, but may be morphed with every step, potentially entailing large cumulative distortions ...
