Abstract
A technology analysis system automatically monitors information available from both publicly and privately distributed networks of information for details that are relevant to a technology hypothesis. The technology analysis system provides a technology radar that assists with determining how the technology hypothesis stands up against ongoing developments in technology. The technology analysis system also visualizes the technology hypothesis and its underlying precursor predictions using a web portal, dynamic document, or other visualization technique.
Claims31
(canceled)
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- obtaining, by one or more computers, one or more articles that are published by one or more information sources;
- selecting a subset of the articles that are classified as relevant to one or more entities that are defined in an environment model, wherein the environment model is a model that defines entities and relationships between entities;
- identifying one or more events that an event detection engine associates with the articles of the subset;
- for each of the one or more events, generating an event record that indicates at least (i) an event type, (ii) event attributes, and (iii) an event importance or priority;
- and
- providing at least a subset of the event records to an analysis engine that consumes event records.
A system comprising:
- one or more computers;
- and
- a computer-readable medium coupled to the one or more computers having instructions stored thereon which, when executed by the one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining one or more articles that are published by one or more information sources;
- selecting a subset of the articles that are classified as relevant to one or more entities that are defined in an environment model, wherein the environment model is a model that defines entities and relationships between entities;
- identifying one or more events that an event detection engine associates with the articles of the subset;
- for each of the one or more events, generating an event record that indicates at least (i) an event type, (ii) event attributes, and (iii) an event importance or priority;
- and
- providing at least a subset of the event records to an analysis engine that consumes event records.
A computer storage medium encoded with a computer program, the program comprising instructions that when executed by one or more computers cause the one or more computers to perform operations comprising:
- obtaining one or more articles that are published by one or more information sources;
- selecting a subset of the articles that are classified as relevant to one or more entities that are defined in an environment model, wherein the environment model is a model that defines entities and relationships between entities;
- identifying one or more events that an event detection engine associates with the articles of the subset;
- for each of the one or more events, generating an event record that indicates at least (i) an event type, (ii) event attributes, and (iii) an event importance or priority;
- and
- providing at least a subset of the event records to an analysis engine that consumes event records.
