Invited Talk – Early detection of Research Topics

On 2nd of August 2018, I have been invited by Boris Veytsman, Principal Research Scientist at Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (formerly Meta), to give a talk about my PhD work.

Differently from my previous talk to the ORNL group, I had the opportunity to describe my doctoral work more comprehensively.

More specifically, I initially showed what is available in the state of the art regarding the evolution of science and how new research topics usually emerge. Then, I showed them with details my initial study (published on PeerJ) and Augur (published at JCDL 2018) for the effective prediction of new emerging trends.

Here are the slides I used to present my work:
