TOA Used for the Case of KDD and Data Mining
By Donghua Zhu and Alan L. Porter
Abstract
TOA (Technology Opportunities
Analysis) seeks to glean valuable intelligence by analyzing electronic
text sources, particularly bibliographic abstracts. It uses TOA software
developed by Georgia Tech and its partner, Search Technology, Inc., to
facilitate these analyses. This report shows how TOA can be used to profile
and assess developments in an emerging technology -- Knowledge Discovery
in Databases (KDD) and Data Mining. This working document offers a variety
of new innovation indicators that can contribute to managing interests
in this technology.
In brief, the report addresses
who is doing what in KDD and Data Mining. It finds this is an emerging
R&D area with distinct commercial prospects -- it is hot! Exploration
of the component areas helps map the important elements and how they fit
together. Assessment of the activity trends in different areas points
to opportunities, particularly in bringing together work in nearby areas.
We identify the most active
players in KDD and Data Mining, and provide information on their interests.
We call attention to the roles of IBM and Microsoft.
The report is available in
"pdf"
format.
