Data Science and the Dynamics of Collective Memory
Abstract
This chapter introduces computational social science as a data-driven framework for studying how collective memory forms, persists, and decays. It connects digital archives, social networks, large-scale attention data, and bi-exponential decay models to explain how communicative and cultural memory shape long-term attention.
