  1. Abstract We study the statistical estimation problem of orthogonal group synchronization and rotation group synchronization. The model is $$Y_{ij} = Z_i^* Z_j^{*T} + \sigma W_{ij}\in{\mathbb{R}}^{d\times d}$$ where $$W_{ij}$$ is a Gaussian random matrix and $$Z_i^*$$ is either an orthogonal matrix or a rotation matrix, and each $$Y_{ij}$$ is observed independently with probability $$p$$. We analyze an iterative polar decomposition algorithm for the estimation of $Z^*$ and show it has an error of $$(1+o(1))\frac{\sigma ^2 d(d-1)}{2np}$$ when initialized by spectral methods. A matching minimax lower bound is further established that leads to the optimality of the proposed algorithm as it achieves the exact minimax risk.

  2. The computational modeling of groups requires models that connect micro-level with macro-level processes and outcomes. Recent research in computational social science has started from simple models of human behavior, and attempted to link to social structures. However, these models make simplifying assumptions about human understanding of culture that are often not realistic and may be limiting in their generality. In this paper, we present work on Bayesian affect control theory as a more comprehensive, yet highly parsimonious model that integrates artificial intelligence, social psychology, and emotions into a single predictive model of human activities in groups. We illustrate these developments with examples from an ongoing research project aimed at computational analysis of virtual software development teams.
