  Abstract
  By mining and visualizing the relations between pieces of knowledge, the talent of human to create an idea from a combination of knowledge comes to be elevated.

The players called innovators present combinatorial ideas from prepared basic ideas, and sell them to each other and to investors. As a result, the values of ideas are evaluated, to reveal latent opportunities in the market.
