Synthesizing 9,310 Publications Through Natural Language Processing and the Decade-Long Transformation of Artificial Intelligence in Dermatology

Öz

Objective: This study aimed to examine the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) research in dermatology between 2015 and 2025, extending beyond conventional bibliometric indicators through natural language processing (NLP)-assisted content analysis, and to delineate the temporal shifts in disease focus, data types, and technological infrastructure. Methods: A total of 9,310 publications retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection were analyzed. Classical bibliometric indicators were assessed using R-Bibliometrix, VOSviewer, and CiteSpace software. In the NLP-based classification phase, which constitutes the original contribution of this study, the title and abstract of each publication were screened using a rule-based algorithm and systematically classified across three dimensions: the targeted dermatological disease, the data type employed, and the clinical task addressed. Thematic shifts between the early period (2015–2019) and the late period (2020–2025) were comparatively examined. Results: In the early period, oncology (melanoma) dominated the literature with a 32.2% research proportion; however, this rate declined to 20.9% in the late period, during which teledermatology gained momentum. The research focus exhibited a notable clinical shift toward cosmetic/aging (32.4%), surpassing oncology. Concurrently, the clinical tasks targeted by AI expanded beyond diagnosis alone to encompass disease severity scoring (29.7%) and treatment response monitoring (18.0%). Following the release of ChatGPT in 2022, large language model (LLM) research in dermatology demonstrated exponential growth, increasing 25-fold within three years. Conclusion: The AI literature in dermatology is undergoing a simultaneous three-dimensional transformation. AI is evolving from a specific melanoma screening tool into a “clinical assistant” integrated into routine outpatient practice, encompassing cosmetic and inflammatory diseases. The visionary rise of large language models (LLMs) is accelerating this transformation; however, overcoming dataset asymmetries and algorithmic hallucination risks remains essential for safe clinical integration.
