    摘要: A database stores a set of items, with each item (i 1 , i 2 , i 3 ) having technical attributes (x 1 , x 2 , x 3 ), and with each item representing a module that can be used in an engineering project of a first user, u 1 . A feature encoder (f) embeds each item based on its technical attributes into a low-dimensional vector space. Then, in a second step, a graph neural network (g) pools over these item embeddings to compute an updated user embedding for the first user e u 1 L . A decoder mapping (h) then addresses the recommendation task by outputting recommendation scores ( s u 1 , i ) for each item. That means, heuristically speaking, that the method and system lift the recommendation task to the level of technical attributes to overcome the sparsity problem caused by item sets that are not overlapping between user groups. Thus, when matching similar users, the method does not rely on users configuring exactly the same modules but rather on configured modules that are similar from a technical point of view.

    摘要: Method and system for information retrieval
    A database stores a collection of spreadsheet documents (CSD) describing an industrial system. The aim of the method is to create a digital twin of the industrial system on demand and on-the-fly in order to answer a given query. To this end, the spreadsheet documents are processed by a spreadsheet pre-processor (SPP) and a table encoder (TE). The query is processed by a graph pre-processor (GPP) and a graph encoder (GE). A table retriever (TR) computes a relevance score for each table that is proportional to a probability that the table is relevant to answer the query. Focusing on the most relevant tables, a cell retriever (CR) retrieves for each cell a relevance score that is proportional to a probability that the cell is relevant to answer the query. Finally, a user interface outputs the cell with the highest relevance score as an answer to the query. In other words, the method first retrieves relevant spreadsheet documents for a given query and then retrieves matching cells. As a result, a novel neural retrieval model and end-to-end training procedure are provided that allow to retrieve relevant information from spreadsheet documents with on-demand queries. Users do not have to manually look for relevant documents from which information should be extracted. This saves substantial experts' time. The neural retrieval model can be trained with respect to any standard schema depending on the domain of the industry (eClass for automation, Bricks for building technology, ISO-95).

    摘要: An auto-encoder model (AEM) processes a datasets describing a physical part from a part catalogue in the form of a property co-occurrence graph (G), and performs entity resolution and auto-completion on the co-occurrence graph (G) in order to compute a corrected and/or completed dataset. According to an embodiment, the encoder (E) consists of a recurrent neural network (RNN) and a graph attention network (GAT). The decoder (D) contains a linear decoder (LD) for numeric values and a recurrent neural network decoder (RNN-D) for strings. The auto-encoder model provides an automated end-to-end solution that can auto-complete missing information as well as correct data errors such as misspellings or wrong values. The auto-encoder model is capable of auto-completion for highly unaligned part specification data with missing values. This has multiple benefits: First, the auto-encoder model can be trained completely unsupervised (self-supervised) as no labeled training data is required. Second, the auto-encoder model can capture correlation between any part specification property, value, and unit of measure. Third, the auto-encoder model is a single model instead of many models (for example, one for each property and unit) as would be the case in a Euclidean (table-based) missing data imputation algorithm. Fourth, the auto-encoder model can natively handle misspelled property and values terms and learn to align them. A further advantage is the ability for interactive user involvement. As the auto-encoder model operates purely on character-level, immediate feedback to the user can be given, for example after each character that the user is typing or editing.

    摘要: Bei dem Verfahren zur Modellierung eines technischen Systems (TES) wird zunächst ein semantisches Systemmodell (SSM) des technischen Systems (TES) generiert wird und nachfolgend die Abhängigkeiten innerhalb des Systemmodells mittels einer Abhängigkeitsanalyse (DEA) analysiert, welche auf Eigenschaften des semantischen Systemmodells (SSM) beruht.
