学会一个新术语需要多长时间?

How long does it take a society to learn a new term?

Sadegh Raeisi

摘要:

在这篇论文中,我研究了新术语,即新词,在社交网络中的传播。我把它看作是网络上信息动力学的一个例子,希望这个问题的解决能帮助我们理解和描述信息动力学问题。为了做到这一点,我开发了一个扩散机制的唯象模型。我发现了社会上学习这个术语的人数和所花时间之间的分析关系。网络参数将导入此分析解决方案中。我还提出了一些模拟这种机制的几个样本和一些实际的网络,证实了分析结果。此外,本文还研究了网络拓扑结构对扩散过程的影响。

英文摘要:

In this paper, I study the diffusion of new terms, called neologism, in social networks. I consider it as an example of information dynamics on networks and I hope that solving this problem can help us to understand and describe the information dynamics problem. To do so I develop a phenomenological model for the diffusion mechanism. I find an analytical relationship between number of people in the society who has learned the term and time taken. The Network parameters are imported in this analytical solution. I also present some simulation for this mechanism for several sample and some real networks which confirms the analytical results. In addition, I study the effects of network topology on diffusion process.
