Patent EP-4300375-A1 (EP)
Inventor: BUCKLEY MARK
IPC: G06N5/02
Filed: 2022-06-30
Abstract: 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).
