艾伯特-拉斯洛•巴拉巴西(Albert-Laszlo Barabasi)
全球复杂网络研究权威,无尺度网络的创立者。美国物理学会院士,匈牙利科学院院士,欧洲科学院会员,美国东北大学教授,网络科学研究中心的创始人、主任,同时任职于哈佛大学媒体学院医学系,并担任丹那-法 伯癌症研究所癌症系统生物学中心的研究员。
Barabasi提出无尺度网络模型,2006年因此荣获了匈牙利计算机学会颁发的冯•诺依曼金质奖章,是建立基于网络共性的统一科学理论的先行者,是复杂网络界引述最多的科学家。
世界著名科技杂志《popular science》杂志称赞 Barabasi“他可以控制世界”。
Can we scientifically predict our future? Scientists and pseudoscientists have been pursuing this mystery for hundreds and perhaps thousands of years. But now, amazing new research is revealing that patterns in human behavior, previously thought to be purely random, follow predictable laws.
Albert-László Barabási, already the world's preeminent researcher on the science of networks, describes his work on this profound mystery in Bursts , a stunningly original investigation into human behavior. His approach relies on the way our lives have become digital. Mobile phones, the Internet, and e-mail have made human activities more accessible to quantitative analysis, turning our society into a huge research laboratory. All those electronic trails of time- stamped texts, voice mails, and searches add up to a previously unavailable massive data set that tracks our movements, our decisions, our lives. Analysis of these trails is offering deep insights into the rhythm of how we do everything. His finding? We work and fight and play in short flourishes of activity followed by next to nothing. Our daily pattern isn't random, it's "bursty." Bursts uncovers an astonishing deep order in our actions that makes us far more predictable than we like to think.
Illustrating this revolutionary science, Barabási artfully weaves together the story of a sixteenth-century burst of human activity-a bloody medieval crusade launched in his homeland, Transylvania-with the modern tale of a contemporary artist hunted by the FBI through our post-9/11 surveillance society. These narratives illustrate how predicting human behavior has long been the obsession, sometimes the duty, of those in power. Barabási's wide range of examples from seemingly unrelated areas includes how dollar bills move around the United States, the pattern everyone follows in writing e-mail, the spread of epidemics, and even the flight patterns of albatross. In all these phenomena a virtually identical bursty pattern emerges, a reflection of the universality of human behavior.
Bursts reveals where individual spontaneity ends and predictability in human behavior begins. The way you think about your own potential to do something truly extraordinary will never be the same.
1. 爆发的出现,往往是从无序变成有序的临界点,一旦系统被迫发生相变,一切随时改变,随即出现幂律(爆发)。节点也由无规则分布到社会化分布。 2. 无尺度网络有的两个特征是增长和优先情结,这会造就马太效应,富者越富;而合理利用适用性,是后来者打破这个法则的关键。 3...
评分 评分何为爆发? 统计上看,有的事件和行为不服从高斯分布的钟形曲线而服从幂律规律或者列维分布,语言上可以表述为集中出现与长期平静交替出现,哲学上可以解读为量变到质变,文学上可以形容为静如处子,动如脱兔。 客观地说,作者在谋篇布局、选材论述方面还是用了心的,其每章的...

哈桑演讲挺有意思~~但是这本书写的一般,不如linked
评分算是在第一时间买的书,虽然研究的问题很重要,但我看来看去,勉强给个3.5星。
评分说真的,这个平行故事叙事法真的比较不适用于科普读物。人类行为不可测,太随机,这是我所支持的论点。
评分无论如何都要读一遍
