A Method for the Identification of Competence Centers Based on the Example of the Artificial Intelligence Domain

Аннотация

A method for the identification of competence centers is proposed using large scientific and technical document collections and computer-linguistic techniques. Artificial Intelligence was chosen as an example of the problem domain to test this method. The research is carried out on the basis of full-text proceedings of the National Conference on Artificial Intelligence, synopses of candidate’s and doctoral theses, and the ELibrary. Major specialties with respect to defended theses on artificial intelligence were selected, a defense dynamic was constructed, scientometric indicators of scientists who work in the field of artificial intelligence were obtained, and basic competence centers and their specialization were detected.
