Novelty is an inherent part of innovations and discoveries. Such processes may be considered as an appearance of new ideas or as an emergence of atypical connections between the existing ones. The importance of such connections hints for investigation of innovations through network or graph representation in the space of ideas. In such representation, a graph node corresponds to the relevant concept (idea), whereas an edge between two nodes means that the corresponding concepts have been used

To this end, we use a well-documented scientific knowledge landscape of 1.2M arXiv.org manuscripts dated starting from April 2007 and until September 2019. We extract relevant concepts for them using the ScienceWISE.info platform. Combining approaches developed in complex networks science and graph embedding, we discuss the predictability of edges (links) on the scientific knowledge landscape where the innovations may appear.
