  • Technology trends analysis and forecasting application based on decision tree and statistical feature analysis

    Analyzing mass information and supporting foresight are very important task but they are extremely time-consuming work. In addition, information analysis and forecasting about the science and technology are also very critical tasks for researchers, government officers, businessman, etc. Some related studies recently have been executed and semi-automatic tools have been developed actively.

  • Design of TOD Model for Information Analysis and Future Prediction

    Analyzing mass information and supporting insight based on analysis results are very important work but it needs much effort and time. Information analysis and future prediction about science and IT filed data are also very critical tasks for researchers, government officers, businessman, etc. Therefore, in this paper, we propose technology opportunity discovery (TOD) model based…
