Out of the above said techniques, Machine Learning has been the most applied technique in inventions going in for patenting. Nearly 70 percent of inventions recite an AI technique, application or field working in correlation with one another. The commonly used combinations in patent applications are deep learning with computer vision, computer vision with transportation, telecommunication and security; ontology engineering with natural language processing (NLP), and machine learning with life and medical sciences. These combinations suggest areas to watch for rapid developments in AI in the near future.
