  • Abstract摘要

    The dynamics of complex networks have recently received much attention, with many applications in social, biological, and technical systems. Empirical studies suggest that coevolving dynamics, the interplay between network evolution and nodal dynamics, is responsible for many important phenomena in complex networks. Here, we present two concrete examples of the coevolving dynamics in complex networks. 

    For complex social systems, polarization is a ubiquitous phenomenon. We proposed a coevolving framework that counts for opinion dynamics and network evolution simultaneously from the perspective of statistical physics. Under a few generic assumptions on social interactions, we found a bi-polarized community structure emerges naturally from the coevolving dynamics. Our analytical result predicts a depolarization/polarization phase transition, in line with empirical observations. For human-AI interaction systems, recent years have witnessed that AI-driven recommendation algorithms lure the system into information homogeneity, in which individuals are isolated from diverse information and eventually trapped in a single topic or viewpoint. We derive a mechanistic model for the coevolving information dynamics in complex human-AI interaction systems. This allows us to unearth basic mechanisms underlying the information homogeneity theoretically. These two examples demonstrate how coevolving dynamics drive the emergence of complex network structures and non-trivial phenomena from simple mechanisms.
