What is it about?

Research papers contain valuable information on scientific and technical research, and knowledge maps generated from them help identify areas of research and knowledge flow. This study develops a model based on meta-knowledge, including citations, abstracts, and area codes, for predicting future growth potential of technologies using deep learning algorithms. The study investigates the applicability of various forms of meta-knowledge to the prediction of future growth potential and proposes a method of selecting promising technology clusters based on the model.
