AI总结:

本文研究了国际象棋中移动选择的文化传播,通过分析多个文化因素对移动选择的影响,构建了一个基于Dirichlet-多元多项式似然的群体水平统计模型,以分析数十年来顶级玩家所下棋局中的文化传播动态,发现负频率依赖偏差在某些移动动态中起作用,而其他移动则符合 prestige 偏差或 success 偏差,这些偏差可能反映了计算机国际象棋引擎和在线比赛转播的引入。

摘要:

文化进化研究从特定人类领域中文化传播的详细分析中受益。国际象棋提供了一个平台,由于其活跃的玩家社区、精确的行为和长期的高质量数据记录,有助于理解知识的传播。在本文中,我们从文化进化的角度分析国际象棋,描述了多个影响移动选择的文化因素。然后,我们基于Dirichlet-多元多项式似然构建了一个群体水平的统计模型,以分析数十年来由顶级玩家所下棋局中的文化传播动态。对于特定位置下的移动,我们评估了频率依赖偏差、成功偏差和 prestige 偏差对移动频率动态的影响。我们观察到,负频率依赖偏差在某些移动的动态中起作用,而其他移动则在 prestige 偏差或 success 偏差下兼容于传播。这些明显的偏差可能反映了最近的变化,即计算机国际象棋引擎和在线比赛转播的引入。我们对国际象棋的分析为更广泛的问题提供了见解,即社会学习偏差如何影响文化进化。

英文摘要:

The study of cultural evolution benefits from detailed analysis of cultural transmission in specific human domains. Chess provides a platform for understanding the transmission of knowledge due to its active community of players, precise behaviors, and long-term records of high-quality data. In this paper, we perform an analysis of chess in the context of cultural evolution, describing multiple cultural factors that affect move choice. We then build a population-level statistical model of move choice in chess, based on the Dirichlet-multinomial likelihood, to analyze cultural transmission over decades of recorded games played by leading players. For moves made in specific positions, we evaluate the relative effects of frequency-dependent bias, success bias, and prestige bias on the dynamics of move frequencies. We observe that negative frequency-dependent bias plays a role in the dynamics of certain moves, and that other moves are compatible with transmission under prestige bias or success bias. These apparent biases may reflect recent changes, namely the introduction of computer chess engines and online tournament broadcasts. Our analysis of chess provides insights into broader questions concerning how social learning biases affect cultural evolution.
