2、y The challenge of identifying emerging areas and technologies in research is not new,but more data,new methods,and more computational power allow for novel approaches.We build on existing research to develop two new solutions for identifying research relevant to emerging technology areas,specifical

3、ly artificial intelligence(AI),cybersecurity,as well as chip design and fabrication.First,we trained and deployed machine learning models to predict publication relevance to select emerging technology topics.Second,we assigned publications into research fields within those topics,based on a hierarch
