查耶斯博士的演讲向一位离散的数学家描述了“整个世界是一张图,所有的人和域只是顶点”。图被表示为一组顶点V和一组边E,因此,例如,在万维网中,V是页面集,E是有向超链接;在社交网络中,V是人,E是关系集;以及在自治系统互联网中,V是自治系统集(例如AOL、Yahoo!和MSN)和E表示连接集合。这意味着可以通过以下方式使用数学来研究Web(以及在线世界中的其他大型图表):第一,我们可以将在线网络建模为大型有限图表;第二,我们可以对这些图表的片段进行采样;第三,我们可以理解并控制这些图表上的过程;第四,我们可以为这些图表开发算法,并应用它们来改善在线体验。
Dr Chayes’ talk described how, to a discrete mathematician, ‘all the world’s a graph, and all the people and domains merely vertices’. A graph is represented as a set of vertices V and a set of edges E, so that, for instance, in the World Wide Web, V is the set of pages and E the directed hyperlinks; in a social network, V is the people and E the set of relationships; and in the autonomous system Internet, V is the set of autonomous systems (such as AOL, Yahoo! and MSN) and E the set of connections. This means that mathematics can be used to study the Web (and other large graphs in the online world) in the following way: first, we can model online networks as large finite graphs; second, we can sample pieces of these graphs; third, we can understand and then control processes on these graphs; and fourth, we can develop algorithms for these graphs and apply them to improve the online experience.
