Insights into the Application of Machine Learning in Industrial Risk Assessment: A Bibliometric Mapping Analysis

Abstract

Risk assessment is of great significance in industrial production and sustainable development. Great potential is attributed to machine learning in industrial risk assessment as a promising technology in the fields of computer science and the internet. To better understand the role of machine learning in this field and to investigate the current research status, we selected 3116 papers from the SCIE and SSCI databases of the WOS retrieval platform between 1991 and 2022 as our data sample. The VOSviewer, Bibliometrix R, and CiteSpace software were used to perform co-occurrence analysis, clustering analysis, and dual-map overlay analysis of keywords. The results indicate that the development trend of machine learning in industrial risk assessment can be divided into three stages: initial exploration, stable development, and high-speed development. Machine learning algorithm design, applications in biomedicine, risk monitoring in construction and machinery, and environmental protection are the knowledge base of this study. There are three research hotspots in the application of machine learning to industrial risk assessment: the study of machine learning algorithms, the risk assessment of machine learning in the Industry 4.0 system, and the application of machine learning in autonomous driving. At present, the basic theories and structural systems related to this research have been established, and there are numerous research directions and extensive frontier branches. “Random Forest”, “Industry 4.0”, “supply chain risk assessment”, and “Internet of Things” are at the forefront of the research.

Mapping the Knowledge Domain of Corrosion Inhibition Studies of Ionic Liquids

“…In this section, we employed Timeline View in CiteSpace software to show the temporal distribution of different keywords in the same cluster. The timeline view focused mainly on sketching the relationships between clusters and the historical span of keywords in a given cluster, thus showing the historical development of different research hotspots . The results are shown in Figure .…”

Big Data Analytics for Early Detection and Prevention of Age-Related Diseases in Elderly Healthcare

“…The discipline is characterised by the prevalence of terms such as "big data," "health care," and "data analytics," which provide insight into its primary issues and areas of focus [48]. The comprehensive approach to preventing age-related diseases is underscored by the focus on technology, data management, and healthcare practises [49]. The co-word network analysis offers a structural framework that elucidates the interconnections among pivotal phrases.…”
