Community Detection and Growth Potential Prediction Using the Stochastic Block Model and the Long Short-term Memory from Patent Citation Networks
Scoring patent documents is very useful for technology management. However,
conventional methods are based on static models and, thus, do not reflect the
growth potential of the technology cluster of the patent. Because even if the
cluster of a patent has no hope of growing, we recognize the patent is
important if PageRank or other ranking score is high. Therefore, there arises a
necessity of developing citation network clustering and prediction of future
citations. In our research, clustering of patent citation networks by
Stochastic Block Model was done with the aim of enabling corporate managers and
investors to evaluate the scale and life cycle of technology. As a result, we
confirmed nested SBM is appropriate for graph clustering of patent citation
networks. Also, a high MAPE value was obtained and the direction accuracy
achieved a value greater than 50% when predicting growth potential for each
cluster by using LSTM.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1904.1204
