# arXiv CS Topic Lifecycle — Gartner Hype Cycle

Interactive visualization of how Computer Science research topics on arXiv move
through the Gartner hype cycle, 2022–2026. Drag the quarter slider to watch each
quarter's (cumulative) snapshot: topics are placed along the hype curve by phase
(Innovation Trigger → Peak → Trough → Slope → Plateau), sized by paper count.

- **Data**: ~536k arXiv CS papers (2022–2026), topics from OpenAlex.
  Lifecycle snapshots: [`Elfsong/arxiv_cs_lifecycle`](https://huggingface.co/datasets/Elfsong/arxiv_cs_lifecycle).
- **Pipeline**: `src/lifecycle_quarterly.py` aggregates topics per quarter and
  classifies each topic's phase per cumulative snapshot.
- **App**: `app.py` (Gradio + Plotly).
