跨文化连接梦想网络

Connecting Dream Networks Across Cultures

Onur Varol, Filippo Menczer

摘要:

许多物种做梦,但在梦的研究中仍然有许多开放的研究问题。梦的象征意义和对梦的解释在历史上的文化中都存在。使用网络科学分析在线数据源进行解梦,有助于理解梦中的象征意义及其相关含义。在这项研究中,我们介绍了英语,汉语和阿拉伯语的梦解释网络,代表了来自世界各地的不同文化。我们分析了这些网络中的社区,发现社区中的符号在语义上是相关的。社区的中心节点让我们了解梦中的文化和象征。不同网络的社区结构凸显了文化的异同。不同网络之间的相互联系也通过将不同语言的符号翻译成英语来识别。跨网络的结构相关性指出了文化之间的关系。网络社区之间的相似性也通过分析符号解释中的情感进行了研究。我们发现,在一个社区内的解释往往有类似的情绪。此外,我们根据他们的情绪对社区进行聚类,产生三个主要类别的积极,消极和中性的梦想符号。

英文摘要:

Many species dream, yet there remain many open research questions in the study of dreams. The symbolism of dreams and their interpretation is present in cultures throughout history. Analysis of online data sources for dream interpretation using network science leads to understanding symbolism in dreams and their associated meaning. In this study, we introduce dream interpretation networks for English, Chinese and Arabic that represent different cultures from various parts of the world. We analyze communities in these networks, finding that symbols within a community are semantically related. The central nodes in communities give insight about cultures and symbols in dreams. The community structure of different networks highlights cultural similarities and differences. Interconnections between different networks are also identified by translating symbols from different languages into English. Structural correlations across networks point out relationships between cultures. Similarities between network communities are also investigated by analysis of sentiment in symbol interpretations. We find that interpretations within a community tend to have similar sentiment. Furthermore, we cluster communities based on their sentiment, yielding three main categories of positive, negative, and neutral dream symbols.
