Alan Porter教授1975年加入佐治亚理工学院工业与系统工程学院,任教至今。他同时也是该校公共政策学院的教授,并曾执掌佐治亚理工学院技术政策与评估中心的工作。1991年至1993年他担任佐治亚理工学院技术管理项目的执行总监。
Alan Porter教授是将文本挖掘技术用于技术预测与评估的全球领军人物,其研究领域主要包括技术机会分析、技术管理、技术预测和评估。目前的研究方向则主要集中在技术机会分析,特别是利用数据库所提供的数据以计算机辅助的方法开展信息挖掘与分析。Alan Porter教授创建了 Technology Analysis & Strategic Management for Information and Decision Technologies(面向信息与决策技术的技术分析及战略管理)学会,并先后担任影响分析通报的主编,学会秘书长,执行总监和主席(1995-1996)。他曾经担任美国工程教育协会工程与公共政策分会主席;美国电气工程师协会(IEEE)技术预测与技术转移委员会主席;他是贝尔通信研究所顾问委员会理事(Bell core Advisory Council)。现任Search Technology公司首席科学家。
内容简介:
I report on a study of ‘Big Data & Analytics’ (“BD” for short). BD is emerging rapidly, so we are interested in profiling research on it to answer “who, what, where & when” questions. This talk describes our ‘tech mining’ approach (combining bibliometrics and text analytics to study Science, Technology & Innovation information resources). I illustrate for the BD case, which is doubly interesting for us as we “use” a form of BD analysis to gain a “meta” perspective of general BD patterns and trends.
Devising a sound search query to retrieve BD-related research records poses a special challenge due to the diffuse and rapidly changing nature of the field. This initial study focuses on 7006 BD publication abstracts indexed in the Web of Science for 2009-2015. A striking finding is the extent to which the US and China dominate the research – accounting for over half of the world’s total effort. Topical analysis and mapping offer perspective on what the field is pursuing. We seek to spotlight the hot topics in a hot field. It is also interesting to map the highly diverse disciplines involved in BD, led, of course, by computer science.
