论文摘要
工程师通常需要从陌生的域中发现和学习设计，以获取灵感或其他特定用途。但是，技术设计描述的复杂性和对域名的不熟悉使工程师很难理解设计的功能，行为和结构。为了帮助工程师快速理解他们新的复杂技术设计描述，一种方法是将其表示为与设计相关的实体的网络图及其关系作为设计的抽象摘要。尽管工程设计文献中广泛采用了图形或网络可视化，但仍在检索设计实体并得出其关系的挑战。在本文中，我们提出了一种由技术语义网络（Technet）提供动力的网络映射方法。通过案例研究，我们展示了Technet在与大型技术相关的数据源上受过培训的独特特征，其优于常识性知识库，例如WordNet和ConceptNet，以设计知识表示。
Engineers often need to discover and learn designs from unfamiliar domains for inspiration or other particular uses. However, the complexity of the technical design descriptions and the unfamiliarity to the domain make it hard for engineers to comprehend the function, behavior, and structure of a design. To help engineers quickly understand a complex technical design description new to them, one approach is to represent it as a network graph of the design-related entities and their relations as an abstract summary of the design. While graph or network visualizations are widely adopted in the engineering design literature, the challenge remains in retrieving the design entities and deriving their relations. In this paper, we propose a network mapping method that is powered by Technology Semantic Network (TechNet). Through a case study, we showcase how TechNet's unique characteristic of being trained on a large technology-related data source advantages itself over common-sense knowledge bases, such as WordNet and ConceptNet, for design knowledge representation.
