分析了2个大型语义网络HowNet和WordNet的全局意义结构.发现两者都是具有小世界和无尺度特征的复杂网络,但具有一些独特的属性.两者连接度分布的幂律指数介于1.0和2.0之间,而不是像许多常见的无尺度网络一样接近于3.0.连接度相关系数都小于0,与生物性网络相似.BA模型以及与其相似的一些模型下能对其动力学加以解释.节点连接度与其聚集度指数之间遵循标度律,表明网络中可能存在自相似的屡;欠结构.认为人类学习语义知识的几种主要方式如聚合与隐喻等影响了语义网络的这些结构特征.
Global semantic structures of two large semantic networks, HowNet and WordNet, are analyzed. It is found that they are both complex networks with features of small-world and scale-free, but with special properties. Exponents of power law degree distribution of these two networks are between 1.0 and 2. 0, different from most scale-free networks which have exponents near 3.0. Coefficients of degree correlation are lower than 0, similar to biological networks. The BA (Barabasi-Albert) model and other similar models cannot explain their dynamics. Relations between clustering coefficient and node degree obey scaling law, which suggests that there exist self-similar hierarchical structures in networks. The results suggest that structures of semantic networks are influenced by the ways we learn semantic knowledge such as aggregation and metaphor.
