Network Data Analytics for Predicting the Emergence of Science & Technology Fields

Abstract

How do science & technology fields emerge and evolve? We will analyze the interplay between paper citation networks and author collaboration networks to predict the success and demise of a field. By detecting topical communities in the citation network, we will track the corresponding collaboration networks, mining early signals associated with the onset of an emerging field. The goal is to uncover quantitative patterns that would enable to predict the future development of a field.
