21世纪知识同步的量化
Quantifying knowledge synchronisation in the 21st century
摘要:
人类通过语言的使用来获取和积累知识,并热切地交换知识以促进进步。虽然地理障碍以前限制了交流,但信息技术的出现为知识交流开辟了新的途径。然而,目前还不清楚哪种沟通途径在21世纪占主导地位。在这里,我们使用最大的公共数据集维基百科探索21世纪知识传播的主要途径。我们评估人口群体之间共享知识的相似性,根据他们的语言使用情况进行区分。当人口群体之间的互动程度越高,他们的知识结构就越相似,其中的互动程度由社会经济联系(如文化、语言和历史特征)来表示。此外,地理位置接近不再是知识传播的关键要求。此外,我们将我们的数据整合到一个机械模型中,以更好地理解潜在的机制,并建议21世纪的知识“丝绸之路”是基于在线的。
英文摘要:
Humans acquire and accumulate knowledge through language usage and eagerly exchange their knowledge for advancement. Although geographical barriers had previously limited communication, the emergence of information technology has opened new avenues for knowledge exchange. However, it is unclear which communication pathway is dominant in the 21st century. Here, we explore the dominant path of knowledge diffusion in the 21st century using Wikipedia, the largest communal dataset. We evaluate the similarity of shared knowledge between population groups, distinguished based on their language usage. When population groups are more engaged with each other, their knowledge structure is more similar, where engagement is indicated by socioeconomic connections, such as cultural, linguistic, and historical features. Moreover, geographical proximity is no longer a critical requirement for knowledge dissemination. Furthermore, we integrate our data into a mechanistic model to better understand the underlying mechanism and suggest that the knowledge "Silk Road" of the 21st century is based online.
