Abstract
This Alan Turing Institute Data Study Group (DSG) explored the use of topic modelling to discover new trends in the scientific literature.
The challenge was presented by the Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl) who have been working in this area for a number of years. The aim of this DSG is to advance the work already started by Dstl, whilst also building a better understanding of the specific research challenges that automated horizon scanning techniques present and how these can be overcome in the future. As the science and technology landscape continues to rapidly shift and evolve, this challenge will help policy makers to stay on top of these latest developments.
