Human culture research has witnessed an opportunity of revolution thanks to the big data and social network revolution. Websites such as Douban.com, Goodreads.com, Pandora and IMDB become the new gold mine for cultural researchers. In 2021 and 2022, the author of this paper invented 2 data-free recommender systems for AI cold-start problem. The algorithms can recommend cultural and commercial products to users without reference to users' past preferences. The social implications of the new inventions are human cultural tastes can be predicted very precisely without any information related to human individuals. In this paper, we analyze the AI technologies and its cultural implications together with other AI algorithms. We show that human culture is (mostly) a history irrelevant and predictable experience.
翻译:人类文化研究因大数据与社交网络革命而迎来了变革的契机。豆瓣网、Goodreads、Pandora和IMDB等网站已成为文化研究者的新金矿。在2021年至2022年间,本文作者发明了两种针对人工智能冷启动问题的无数据推荐系统。这些算法无需依据用户过往的偏好,即可向用户推荐文化及商业产品。这些新发明的社会意义在于,无需任何与个体相关的信息,即可极为精准地预测人类文化品味。本文结合其他人工智能算法,分析了相关AI技术及其文化内涵。我们论证了人类文化(在很大程度上)是一种与历史无关且可预测的体验。
