Abstract :
Human-interactive annealing is a new method for understanding invisible but relevant events, and inventing hypothetical scenarios. The human-interactive annealing is elaborated for texts. It is applied to patents for acquiring opportunity in technology development. An illustrative experiment on discovering opportunity by analyzing US patent texts on knowledge acquisition is demonstrated. A few sample hypothetical scenarios on emerging technological elements are obtained
