Revealing the Technology Development of Natural Language Processing: A Scientific Entity-Centric Perspective

arXiv:2606.29836v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Most studies on technology development have been conducted from a thematic perspective, but the topics are coarse-grained and insufficient to accurately represent technology. The development of automatic entity recognition techniques makes it possible to extract technology-related entities on a large scale. Thus, we perform a more accurate analysis of technology development from an entity-centric perspective. To begin with, we extract technology-related entities such as methods, datasets, metrics, and tools in articles on Natural Language Process
The proliferation of AI and the increasing complexity of its development require more granular insight into how specific technologies evolve, making this research timely.
This research provides a more refined methodology for understanding technology development, moving beyond broad themes to specific entities, which is crucial for strategic R&D and investment in AI.
The ability to track and analyze the evolution of individual methods, datasets, metrics, and tools within NLP will enable more precise foresight and planning in AI development.
