一个维基百科编辑冲突动力学模型

对维基百科编辑中的冲突与协调的研究有助于深化对社会化创新中内在协调机制的理解。在T9r9k等人所提的维基编辑动力学模型的基础上,本文提出一个考虑狂热者影响的协同编辑冲突动力学模型。通过基于Agent建模分析,所提出的模型复现了从"单一冲突"到"间歇性冲突"再到"持续冲突"的相变。进而,本模型还展示了比T9r9k等的模型更为丰富的动力学形态。本文工作为维基百科编辑中所观察到的三种冲突模式提供了一种新的解释,并对社会化创新项目中的观点冲突协调有一定启发意义。

A Model of Conflict Dynamics of Wikipedia Editing

The underlying mechanisms for the conflict and coordination in Wikipedia editing have attracted enormous research attention. Researches on this topic are of potential value for improving coordination in social innovation or innovation 2.0 projects. In this work, a variant of T?r?k et al.’s bounded-confidence-based model of conflict dynamics in the collective editing of Wikipedia articles is proposed, based on the hypothesis that the contingent-activation of zealots with extremist opinions is substitutable to the renewal of agents in generating controversies. The numerical simulations show that the transitions between the three regimes of “single conflict”, “plateaus of consensus”, and “uninterrupted controversy” can be reproduced by the proposed model. What’s more, richer dynamics are shown in the proposed model. This work provides an alternative explanation for the underlying mechanisms of the observed conflict modes; and it sheds some lights on studying the coordination of opinion conflicts in social innovation projects.
