Abstract:The research proposes to use objective data and systematic methods to identify disruptive technologies and improve the accuracy of identification. Based on the theory of disruptive technology, this paper revises the characteristics of disruptive technology, and constructs a new method to identify and judge disruptive technology by using search path count (SPC) algorithm, patent absorption rate and patent diffusion rate measurement from the three aspects of innovation, diffusion and transition; This paper makes an empirical analysis on the field of intelligent speech, Use the data of 1985 patents from 1970 to 2020, and analyze and recognize that reinforcement learning and neural network technology are subversive technologies in this field, and end-to-end neural network algorithm is the future development direction of this field.
