Abstract

Cross-domain research topic mining can help users find relationships among related research domains and obtain a quick overview of these domains. This study investigates the evolution of cross-domain topics of three interdisciplinary research domains and uses a visual analytic approach to determine unique topics for each domain. This study also focuses on topic evolution over 10 years and on individual topics of cross domains. A hierarchical topic model is adopted to extract topics of three different domains and to correlate the extracted topics. A simple yet effective visualization interface is then designed, and certain interaction operations are provided to help users more deeply understand the visualization development trend and the correlation among the three domains. Finally, a case study is conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.
