本文采用基于文献的发现（LBD）方法揭示技术与社会问题之间的联系，以阐明科学技术对解决社会问题的合理贡献。我们以机器人和老年学为例进行分析。结果表明，机器人的各种技术选择有助于老年人的医疗保健和福祉，主要是在手术、康复和陪伴方面。此外，我们比较评估了语义相似度度量在从书目数据库中提取这些链接的有效性。我们的方法可以作为管理者和政策制定者提取和设计有前途的研究目标的决策支持工具。(C) 2013 Elsevier B.V.版权所有
This paper investigates Literature Based Discovery (LBD) approach to reveal linkages between technology and social issue to elucidate plausible contribution of science and technology for solving social issues. Robotics and gerontology were selected as an example in our analysis. The result shows various technological options of robotics contributing to healthcare and well-being of elderly people, mainly in surgery, rehabilitation, and companionship. In addition, we comparatively evaluated effectiveness of semantic similarity measures to extract these linkages from bibliographic database. Our methodology can be utilized as a decision support tool for managers and policy makers to extract and design promising research targets. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
