Researchers have developed a new transformer-based model called TechToken to forecast technological innovation by analyzing patent language. This model treats International Patent Classification codes as words, learning their relationships to predict future technological combinations. The approach identifies collective shifts in how technologies are described, with signals detectable decades in advance, and outperforms existing models on patent-related tasks. AI
