Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the early stage of open innovation, it is important to find suitable partners in order to form successful collaborations between companies and university researchers. We proposed a system that finds the partners by using information retrieval and text mining techniques from the documents such as scientific papers and patents. Given a query, the proposed system outputs a graph of unique research in retrieved documents. Each vertex in the graph corresponds to a word with a document frequency of two. Two words connected by an edge occur in the same two documents, and neither word appears in other retrieved documents. The edge is labeled with the names of the researchers involved in the documents in which the two words appear.
