A New Identify Disruptive Technologies Algorithm Based on Technology Develop Network

Abstract

The identification of disruptive technologies is intended to focus on training and incubation in advance and is an important means to accelerate the upgrading of industrial structure and the transformation of developmental mode and seize the commanding heights of future development. Based on summarizing the existing major identification methods of disruptive technologies, this paper concludes the rule that “disruptive technologies are always at the root node of a certain classification in the deeply classified technology development network”. It also proposes a new algorithm to use term frequency-inverse document frequency technology and a patented Subject-Action-Object structure to extract technical features, develop networks based on similarity matrix generation technology, and identify subversive technologies based on the depth classification model. Using patent data, it is found that the technology development network generated by the algorithm proposed in this paper can effectively show the trajectory of technology development by fitting the patent citation relationship. Through this algorithm, we have successfully identified technologies that have had disruptive effects in the field and verified the effectiveness of this algorithm.
