Forecasting Conceptual Diffusion in Science: The Case of Quantum Computing
arXiv CS.LG
•
ArXi:2606.03919v1 Announce Type: cross Understanding and anticipating scientific change requires models that distinguish between endogenous consolidation and exogenous diffusion of scientific concepts. Using the quantum computing subtree of concepts in OpenAlex, we construct a temporally resolved concept co-occurrence network and track each concept pair through its upstream citation lineage and downstream diffusion.
