2. How to concentrate different data sources (e.g., publication, patent, business reports and etc.) How to combine qualitative and quantitative methodology more smoothly? How to realize the S&T visualization automatically or semi-automatically? How to engage new concepts or techniques (e.g., semantic TRIZ) and construct the process? Challenging Problems:

3. Yi Zhang is a Ph.D. Candidate in the School of Management and Economics, Beijing Institute of Technology, China. His specialty is data mining and Science Technology and Innovation (ST&I) management, especially the study of technology forecasting and assessment. Current researches emphasize the NEST Competitive Intelligence studies, involving Term Clumping, TRIZ and Technology Roadmapping topics. Biography
