Research Theme Drift
Theme share across the entire corpus over time. Click a band for its sub-topics and their share of that theme.
Read this scope as directional, not authoritative.
- Topic and theme accuracy is not yet where it should be at this scale — expect a meaningful share of coarse or mislabeled assignments.
- The corpus currently pulls in more than computing-related papers, so non-CS work leaks in and distorts the themes.
- More data cleaning and better topic/theme fitting are still needed before the full-corpus numbers can be trusted precisely. The ICSE scope is the most validated.
Corpus Composition
Decade → topic across every venue in the corpus. Tile area is paper volume; colour is the topic's identity — toggle to recolour by growth or newly-emerged topics. Click any tile for a decade's era summary or a topic's papers.
