Anti-Polarization Social Platform

(https://www.army.mil/article/70181/new_war_game_developed_to_study_armys_impact))

The data absorption technique that I developed as part of this effort will be used to support the online simulation that monitors the social media for information operations. See ( <https://computationalsocialscience.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Duong2013.pdf> )

This proposal simply pieces together work that I have done previously, and so can be done in efficient time.

**Breakdown of Budget Requirements

Tasks

Task 1. Design and implement Proof of Concept social media platform market ad ranking based on consumer social value preferences including polarization and social coherence

Task 2. Design and implement Proof of Concept Social Simulation with which to pre-test social media algorithms for effects on social institutions including polarization and social coherence

Task 3. Design and implement Proof of Concept online monitor of information operations utilizing simulation of task 2

Task 4. Final Report

**Expected Public Launch Date: Integration with social media platform by 12 months after award
