According to World Economic Forum, the number of published academic papers featuring AI has risen dramatically. There were nine times as many papers published in 2016 than two decades ago.
So I am interested in looking into the trend of AI and its acceptance trend for the public. AI has been jumped into the new era for the past decade. As a city which has a booming tech industry, I want to look into people’s interests in AI field by the check out rates for the computer science books related to AI in SPL.
There are several terms related in this field, so I want to look into those keywords. artificial intelligence, machine learning, algorithms, data mining, python. So I modified my query for the Computer Science dewery class. And searched for those keywords.

SELECT cin, cout, title, deweyClass FROM inraw WHERE deweyClass > 0 && deweyClass < 7 AND YEAR(cout) >= 2009 AND YEAR(cout) <= 2017 AND title LIKE '%python%'

I wanted to visualize it as a inter-relationship between my key words in 3D. After working on it for couple of twists, I was inspired by the pagoda (tower) shape below. As the pagoda shape matches the topic as Rising AI.

I also get inspired by Kaleidoscope, so my bottom to top it looks like the graphs in a Kaleidoscope.

As we can see from the visualization, books about machine learning, data mining, ai are getting more check out compared with classic computer science books like operating systems, which indicates that AI has gained more and more attention from the public as well.
