Patent-KG: Patent Knowledge Graph Extraction for Engineering Design

Abstract

Abstract This paper builds a patent-based knowledge graph, patent-KG, to represent the knowledge facts in patents for engineering design. The arising patent-KG approach proposes a new unsupervised mechanism to extract knowledge facts in a patent, by searching the attention graph in language models. The extracted entities are compared with other benchmarks in the criteria of recall rate. The result reaches the highest 0.8 recall rate in the standard list of mechanical engineering related technical terms, which means the highest coverage of engineering words.
