Abstract
This paper deals with novel approaches for discovering phrases expressing technical capabilities in technical literature (such as patents), intended to support strategic consultants introducing new technologies and their capabilities to their clients. An extracted capability phrase is scored based on its expected business impact, which can also be considered as unexpectedness of the capability in a specified technology field. The proposed capability extraction method and unexpectedness estimation method are implemented in a “Future Technology Projection tool.” The tool will be utilized by the consultants to provide lists of capability phrases related to a technology field of interest to the consultants.
