Self-Organising Web Emergent Communities | |
Self-Organising Web
I'll just gloss over this one quickly, since the link with Artificial Intelligence is a bit feeble... Besides, news is scarce aside the new interview! Eureka Alert has an article about the emergent structure of the web, and how it organises into communities: Self-Organization of the Web and Identification of Communities. The interesting aspect is that these communities arise from a set of completely independent people with different backgrounds, reacting to different principles -- completely emergently. Search engines are one of the few major projects that I know of that attempt to extract meaningful information from such chaotic patterns. This'll benefit AI greatly if it can be applied to "understand" other emergent patterns to. See the research homepage right here. |

Nature.com has a follow-up on this topic: Search Engine Makes Social Calls It goes into a bit more technical details, mentioning spiders and their crawling. |
