Select a row for its trajectory and papersMethod: papers map to directions through their HCI subtopics; a paper counts once per direction and separately across directions. Share = the direction's count that year over the 17 directions shared across all years. Venues start in different years, so compare shares rather than raw counts.
2021 label set changed: tagged across 13 directions where earlier years had 17, and the added directions hold 0% of that year's tags. Shares are renormalised over the directions shared across all years, so this year still compares directly; directions that exist only in the new label set are marked "New label" and carry no trajectory.
2024 label set changed: tagged across 9 directions where earlier years had 17, and the added directions hold 0% of that year's tags. Shares are renormalised over the directions shared across all years, so this year still compares directly; directions that exist only in the new label set are marked "New label" and carry no trajectory.
2025 label set changed: tagged across 13 directions where earlier years had 17, and the added directions hold 0% of that year's tags. Shares are renormalised over the directions shared across all years, so this year still compares directly; directions that exist only in the new label set are marked "New label" and carry no trajectory.
