This is interesting. Is there actual research on “hype cycles?” I want to read it if so.

- ChrisSD 8y agoNot that I'm aware of. It's more a comment on how at some point the press overhypes some tech which then leads to an inevitable correction. Hopefully it's true value is appreciated afterwards but that's not a given.
- jobigoud 8y agoI just checked and indeed there is research. The most popular model that we all know is called the Gartner Hype Cycle. https://www.gartner.com/en/research/methodologies/gartner-hype-cycle https://www.gartner.com/en/research/methodologies/gartner-hy... Arxiv has a few articles on hype cycles for example: "A simple interpretation of the growth of scientific/technological research impact leading to hype-type evolution curves", Campani, 2014. https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.8685 https://arxiv.org/abs/1410.8685 "Hype Cycle Dynamics: Microscopic Modeling and Detection", Hashemi, 2018. https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08939 https://arxiv.org/abs/1809.08939 You can also type "gartner hype cycle" in Scholar or sci-hub and there are many hits.
