What US Venture Capital Believes About the Future (June 2021 – June 2026)

Inferring forward-looking beliefs from where US investors are placing high-conviction bets, with heavier weighting on June 2023 – June 2026.

The one-sentence answer

US venture capital is making one giant, internally-consistent wager: that machine intelligence is about to become a cheap, abundant input to the whole economy — and that whoever owns the stack required to produce and deploy it (frontier models, compute, energy, the software that turns AI into labor, and eventually the robots that give it a body) captures the defining economic rents of the next decade. Almost every other 2023–2026 high-conviction theme — energy, defense/reindustrialization, robotics, even parts of biotech and fintech — is either a supporting bet on that thesis (power and chips for AI; physical embodiment of AI; AI-designed drugs) or a parallel structural bet that has survived the 2022–2023 correction on its own fundamentals (stablecoins

What China's Venture Capital Is Betting the Future Looks Like (June 2021 – June 2026)

A data-grounded reading of where Chinese investors are placing high-conviction early-to-growth-stage bets — and the forward-looking beliefs those bets imply. Weighted toward June 2023 – June 2026. Chinese-language sources prioritized; English used as cross-check. Compiled 2026-06-22.

1. The one-paragraph answer

By mid-2026, Chinese venture capital is no longer betting on consumer-internet business-model innovation (模式创新); that entire cluster has collapsed (some tracks down >95%). Capital has migrated, decisively and durably, into "hard technology" (硬科技) aligned with the state's "new quality productive forces" (新质生产力) doctrine. The dominant forward-looking belief embedded in the allocation is this: **the future will be defined by a contest for technological sovereignty — physical AI, domestic compute, and frontier infrastructure — that the state will underwrite and that China intends to win regardle

A Survey of SIGIR 2026: The Information Retrieval Landscape

Status: complete — 332 papers with preprints read and analyzed (Why/How/What/Limitations). Part I theme deep-dives are pending synthesis; Part II per-paper entries are generated below.

1. Scope & Method

Maps the research landscape of SIGIR 2026 (Melbourne, 20–24 July 2026) via its accepted papers.

Corpus: 668 accepted papers (program); 332 had a preprint online (mid-June 2026) and were downloaded + analyzed. The other 336 (no preprint yet) are in the Appendix.
Method: each PDF was read (first ~14 pages) and analyzed into Why (problem + example), How (solution), What (results), and Limitations, plus a taxonomy label. Per-paper data: papers//summary.json; index: run_log_full.csv.
