Abstract

Embodiments of the invention relate to technology prediction. A technical dictionary of technical terms is constructed based on a collection of documents. The technical terms are partitioned into equivalence classes. A table is generated that correlates technical terms across equivalence classes based on temporal co-occurrence of the technical terms across the equivalence classes. For a given technical term the table is accessed to determine a first set of technical terms that correlate to the given technical term. The table is accessed again to determine a second set of technical terms that correlate to the first set of technical terms. It is predicted that the second set of technical terms will correlate to the given technical term in the future.
