Science and Technology Text Mining: Pervasive Research Thrusts in the Former Soviet Union (FSU)

Abstract

A revolutionary approach to identifying pervasive thrust areas (and their relationships) in large textual databases was applied to a compendium of assessments of applied research areas in the Former Soviet Union (FSU) generated by the Foreign Applied Sciences Assessment Center (FASAC). Related thrust areas were combined to yield the following major thrust groupings: IONOSPHERIC HEATING/ MODIFICATION; IMAGE/ OPTICAL PROCESSING; AIR-SEA INTERFACE; LOW OBSERVABLE; EXPLOSIVE COMBUSTION; PARTICLE BEAMS; AUTOMATIC/ REMOTE CONTROL; FREQUENCY STANDARDS; RADAR CROSS SECTION. These represent a subset of FSU science of military and strategic interest to the United States.
