Machine learning reveals key themes of digital dissemination in Chinese civilization, indicating major trends in cultural identity and engineering knowledge.
This study employs machine learning to analyze the digital dissemination patterns of Chinese civilization with a focus on material engineering implications. The authors processed a corpus of 172 documents (1.6 million words) from WeChat using deep learning and LDA topic modeling, complemented by sentiment analysis of 7,370 comments. The analysis reveals key dissemination themes: (1) global impact of Chinese media and technology, (2) international education exchanges, (3) digital cultural identity evolution, (4) AI-mediated cultural transmission, and (5) engineering knowledge transfer. Sentiment analysis shows 62% positive engagement (particularly regarding technological integration and innovation), 28% neutral (technical descriptions and market analysis), and 10% negative (focusing on implementation challenges). The study provides a novel framework for understanding how digital platforms facilitate the global circulation of both cultural and engineering knowledge.
