Patents are valuable for the generation of novel ideas through technological discovery. In recent years, scientists have made several attempts to identify technology opportunities by determining vacancies in patent maps—visual representations of patent distribution in particular technological fields created using dimensionality reduction techniques. However, there is a major bottleneck in this approach: it is challenging to precisely define and interpret the technological content of these patent vacancies.Patents are valuable for the generation of novel ideas through technological discovery.

Most people enjoy receiving praise occasionally, but if it comes from sycophantic chatbots, it could be doing you more harm than good. Computer scientists from Stanford University and Carnegie Mellon University have found that people-pleasing chatbots can have a detrimental impact on our judgment and behavior.Most people enjoy receiving praise occasionally, but if it comes from sycophantic chatbots, it could be doing you more harm than good.
