This study presents a bibliometric analysis of industry–academia collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) research, focusing on papers from two major international conferences, AAAI and IJCAI, from 2010 to 2023. Most previous studies have relied on publishers and other databases to analyze bibliographic information. However, these databases have problems, such as missing articles and omitted metadata. Therefore, we adopted a novel approach to extract bibliographic information directly from the article PDFs: we examined 20,549 articles and identified the collaborative papers through a classification process of author affiliation. The analysis explores the temporal evolution of collaboration in AI, highlighting significant changes in collaboration patterns over the past decade. Additionally, a content analysis using document classification was conducted to examine the type of first author in collaborative research articles and explore the potential differences between collaborative and non-collaborative research articles. The results showed that, in terms of publication, collaborations are mainly led by academia, but their content is not significantly different from that of others.

摘要

This study presents a bibliometric analysis of industry–academia collaboration in artificial intelligence (AI) research, focusing on papers from two major international conferences, AAAI and IJCAI, from 2010 to 2023. Most previous studies have relied on publishers and other databases to analyze bibliographic information. However, these databases have problems, such as missing articles and omitted metadata. Therefore, we adopted a novel approach to extract bibliographic information directly from the article PDFs: we examined 20,549 articles and identified the collaborative papers through a classification process of author affiliation. The analysis explores the temporal evolution of collaboration in AI, highlighting significant changes in collaboration patterns over the past decade. Additionally, a content analysis using document classification was conducted to examine the type of first author in collaborative research articles and explore the potential differences between collaborative and non-collaborative research articles. The results showed that, in terms of publication, collaborations are mainly led by academia, but their content is not significantly different from that of others.
