大数据技术的关系实在论基础

The Basis of Relational Realism for Big Data Technology

大数据技术作为一种科学研究的工具和手段,其效用性和价值性特征具有可靠的实在论支撑,而在大数据技术背后所蕴含的关系实在则是其核心和基础;大数据技术以表征事物关系的方式而存在,而它作为一种关系实在又具体表现为重构事物的因果性和强调事物的相关性;大数据概率性分析对于事物之间的因果关系有了更加多维的理解模式,这使得人们在关于事物的因果性本质认识方面具有了新的实在论辩护路径;大数据技术的“关系实在”在“本体性”上更倾向于表征事物之间的相关关系,这使得人们在当代科学研究中由因果思维更多地向相关思维进行转换,但“相关性”思维的实在性基础是否稳固仍然值得商榷。

As a tool and means of scientific research,the utility and value of big data technology get the support of reliable realism,and the relational realism behind big data technology is its core and foundation;big data technology exists in the way of representing the relationship of things,and as a relational reality,it manifests itself in reconstructing the causality of things and emphasizing the relevance of things;probabilistic analysis of big data has a more multi-dimensional understanding mode of causality between things,which makes people get a new realist defense path in understanding the nature of causality of things;in ontology,"relational reality"of big data technology tends to represent the correlation between things,which makes people change from causal thinking to related thinking in contemporary scientific research,but whether the reality basis of"relevance"thinking is stable or not is still questionable.
