The timeline scatter plot shows term evolution over time. The horizontal axis is labeled “Year” and ranges from 1998 to 2022 with increments of 2 years. The vertical axis is labeled “Term” and lists terms from bottom to top: “expert systems”, “neural network”, “neural networks”, “auditing”, “artificial neural networks”, “fraud”, “cluster analysis”, “information technology”, “financial reporting”, “fraud detection”, “data mining”, “artificial intelligence”, “audit quality”, and “machine learning”. From bottom to top: “expert systems” has a marker at 2001 with a horizontal range from 1998 to 2009. “neural network” has a marker at 2016 with a range from 2005 to 2019. “neural networks” has a marker at 2017 with a range from 2012 to 2019. “auditing” has a marker at 2017 with a range from 2006 to 2022. “artificial neural networks” has a marker at 2018 with a range from 2018 to 2020. “fraud” has a marker at 2018 with a range from 2010 to 2020. “cluster analysis” has a marker at 2019 with a no horizontal range. “information technology” has a marker at 2019 with a long range from 2001 to 2021. “financial reporting” has a marker at 2020 with a range from 2014 to 2020. “fraud detection” has a marker at 2020 with a range from 2016 to 2022. “data mining” has a marker at 2021 with a range from 2011 to 2022. “artificial intelligence” has a marker at 2021 with a range from 2019 to 2022. “audit quality” has a marker at 2022 with a range from 2021 to 2022. “machine learning” has a marker at 2022 with a range from 2020 to 2023.
