Discovering Cross-Disciplinary Concepts in Multidisciplinary Context Through Collaborative Framework

Abstract

When domain experts try to find a business solution, ambiguous terms arise within the context of discussion in a multidisciplinary research group. Different meanings and relationships with various concepts cause ambiguous semantics. This research aims to address complex business problems in a collaborative research group. This approach presents a collaborative framework based on network text analysis for detecting cross-disciplinary concepts in a multidisciplinary context. The framework recognizes ambiguous concepts (common terms presented in multiple domain knowledge), and these terms are visualized as a network. A case study of sustainable development demonstrates the identification of a set of cross-disciplinary concepts and their relationships across different domains. The main contributions are providing a framework to detect essential concepts that contain the cross-disciplinary concepts and recognize the understanding of multidisciplinary knowledge in the discussion context.

Unsupervised Detection of Domain Switching in Thai Multidisciplinary Online News

“…Many cross-domain network text analysis research papers are published, such as Takhom et al [3] proposed the NTA approach with semantic embedding techniques. To reduce misunderstandings in case of cross-disciplinary concept discovery in case studies from question-answering information.…”

“…In recent literature, LDA models were applied to enhance the NTA approach, for instance, Takhom et al [3] and Vaz et al [4] raised multidisciplinary contexts. On the other hand, this paper demonstrates the LDA model to analyze multidisciplinarity in Thai electronic news.…”

Market Competition and Economic Effects of Government Policies

“…By a strategic network, it represents an established network of inter-firm ties strategically established to develop certain advantages for all partners (Gulati et al, 2000;Takhom et al, 2020). For example, as an input-output system, each firm is naturally a part of its supply-chain ecosystem (or network), consisting of upstream components and downstream complements (Adner & Kapoor, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, it is necessary to establish collaboration among field owners to allocate costs fairly. A collaborative approach is essential for achieving sustainability within the organization or supply chain (Takhom et al, 2020). These efforts lead to a favorable social impact and an increase of happiness in people's lives.…”
