FIG. 3  is a configuration diagram for explaining a patent assessment method based on artificial intelligence according to an embodiment.  FIG. 4  is A diagram for explaining a first neural network and a second neural network according to an embodiment. 
     According to an embodiment, the corporate classification neural network includes a first input signal by encoding the assessment corporate information including one or more of industry information, financial information, and stock price information of the assessment target corporate, and a second input signal by encoding the assessment patent information including at least one of the classification code of the assessment target patent, the number of forward cited documents, the number of backward cited documents, and the number of claims as an input, and includes a unique corporate classification value for the assessment target corporate based on the input as an output. The patent classification neural network includes a first input signal by encoding the assessment corporate information including one or more of industry information, financial information, and stock price information of the assessment target corporate, and a second input signal by encoding the assessment patent information including one or more of a classification code of the assessment target patent, the number of forward cited documents, the number of backward cited documents, and the number of claims as an input, and includes a unique patent classification value for the assessment target patent based on the input as an output. 
     According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first neural network may include an output value of the corporate classification neural network and the first comparison signal related to corporates having a business classification value in a preset range to the business classification value of the assessment target corporate among the corporate information stored in the database as an input, result in calculation of the corporate assessment index of the assessment target corporate by comparing the information obtained from the first comparison signal with the output value of the corporate classification neural network, and be trained through a first learning signal according to the user&#39;s input. The second neural network may include the second comparison signal related to patents having a patent classification value in a preset range to the patent classification value of the assessment target patent among the patent information stored in the database as an input, result in calculation of the patent assessment index of the assessment target patent by comparing the information obtained from the second comparison signal with the output value of the patent classification neural network, and be trained through a second learning signal according to the user&#39;s input. 
     According to an embodiment of the present invention, the patent classification neural network may further include, as an input, a third input signal in which the contents described in one or more items of the specification including the claims of the assessment target patent are embedded. 
     The unique corporate classification value and the unique patent classification value obtained through each corporate classification neural network and the patent classification neural network may be input to each of the first neural network and the second neural network. The corporate classification value is output through the corporate classification neural network based on the first and second input signals with reflecting the quantitative characteristics of the patent along with the corporate&#39;s industry classification, financial status, and investment status, so that the characteristics implying the relevance of patents to corporate management can be recognized therefrom. The patent classification value is output through a patent classification neural network based on the first input signal to the third input signal, with reflecting the corporate&#39;s qualitative and quantitative characteristics such as patent citation index and right strength, so that the characteristics implying the corporate&#39;s relevance to the influence of patents can be recognized therefrom. 
     The first neural network receives a first comparison signal for companies having a corporate classification value within a preset range to a corporate classification value for the assessment target corporate along with a unique corporate classification value, so that the corporate assessment index of the assessment target corporate can be calculated. The first comparison signal is information on companies whose corporate classification values derived based on corporate type information, financial information, stock price information, etc. are within a certain range, and can be derived as a relative indicator of the assessment target corporate compared to the corresponding companies. The first comparison signal may be information on each of the companies included in two or more different ranges. The first comparison signal may be, for example, information on companies that can be determined to be similar to the assessment target corporate in some characteristics such as industry type and financial status within a predetermined range. In addition, the first comparison signal may be information on companies that can be determined to be different from the assessment target corporate in some characteristics such as industry type and financial status within a range outside a predetermined range. The corporate assessment index may be calculated as a statistical value forming a standard normal distribution with respect to expected financial information, expected stock price information, and the like of the corporate. 
     The second neural network may receive a second comparison signal for patents having a patent classification value in a preset range with a patent classification value for the assessment target patent along with a unique patent classification value to obtain a patent assessment index of the assessment target patent. The second comparison signal is information on patents whose patent classification value is within a predetermined range and may derive a relative index of an assessment target patent by comparison with the corresponding patents. The second comparison signal may be information on each of the patents included in two or more different ranges. The second comparison signal may be, for example, information on patents that can be determined to be like the assessment target patent and some or all characteristics such as classification code, citation degree, and right strength within a predetermined range. In addition, the second comparison signal may be information on patents that can be determined to be different from the assessment target patent and some or all characteristics such as classification code, citation, and right strength are included in a range outside a predetermined range. These patent assessment indexes can be calculated as statistical values forming a standard normal distribution for the strength of patent rights, invalidity, monetization potential, and sales contribution. 
     According to an embodiment, the first neural network and the second neural network include a first learning signal generated by the correction information input by the user and it is possible to learn by receiving each of the second learning signals. 
     The first learning signal and the second learning signal according to an embodiment are created based on the error between the correction information and the output value, and in some cases, SGD using delta, a batch method, or a method following a backpropagation algorithm may be used. Based on this first learning signal, each neural network performs learning by correcting an existing weight, and in some cases, momentum may be used. A cost function may be used to calculate the error, and a cross entropy function may be used as the cost function. 
     According to an embodiment, in acquiring the corporate assessment index of the assessment target corporate and the patent assessment index of the assessment target patent, the computer controls the internal artificial intelligence (artificial neural network) to search the database, information can be updated. The artificial intelligence used at this time may be composed of a first neural network and a second neural network. 
     In one embodiment, the first neural network has a hidden layer and an output layer. In general, three or more hidden layers exist in the first neural network, and 100 nodes of each hidden layer are designated, but more or less may be specified in some cases. The activation function of the hidden layer uses a ReLU function, a sigmoid function, and a tan h function, but is not limited thereto. The number of output layer nodes of the first neural network may be 100 in total. The output layer activation function of the first neural network may use a softmax function, but is not limited thereto. The softmax function is a representative function of one-hot encoding, which makes the sum of all output nodes total 1, sets the output of the output node having the largest value to 1, and sets the output of the remaining output nodes to 0. It may be possible to select only one output out of 100 outputs via the softmax function. 
     The learning device may learn the first neural network through the first labels. The learning device may be the same as the control device, but is not limited thereto. The first neural network may be formed by calculating a loss function by comparing first training outputs obtained by inputting first labeled training input vectors with first labels. As the loss function, a known mean squared error (MSE), cross entropy error (CEE), etc. may be used. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as long as the deviation, error, or difference between the output of the first neural network and the label can be measured, loss functions used in various artificial neural network models may be used. 
     The learning device may optimize the first neural network based on the comparison value. By updating the weights of the nodes of the artificial neural network so that the learning device comparison value becomes smaller and smaller, the output of the artificial neural network corresponding to inference and the label corresponding to the correct answer can be gradually matched, and through this, the artificial neural network can be optimized to output inferences close to the correct answer. Specifically, the learning device may optimize the artificial neural network by repeating the process of resetting the weight of the artificial neural network so that the loss function corresponding to the comparison value approaches the estimated value of the minimum value. For the optimization of artificial neural networks, known backpropagation algorithms, stochastic gradient descent, etc. may be used. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a weight optimization algorithm used in various neural network models may be used. 
     In one embodiment, the second neural network has a hidden layer and an output layer. In general, there are three or more hidden layers in the second neural network, and 30 nodes of each hidden layer are designated, but more or less may be specified in some cases. The activation function of the hidden layer uses a ReLU function, a sigmoid function, and a tan h function, but is not limited thereto. The number of output layer nodes of the second neural network may be 10 in total. The output layer activation function of the second neural network may use a softmax function, but is not limited thereto. 
     The learning device may learn the second neural network through the second labels. The learning device may be the same as the control device, but is not limited thereto. The second neural network may be formed by calculating a loss function by comparing second training outputs obtained by inputting second labeled training input vectors with second labels. As the loss function, a known mean squared error (MSE), cross entropy error (CEE), or the like may be used. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and as long as the deviation, error, or difference between the output of the second neural network and the label can be measured, loss functions used in various artificial neural network models may be used. 
     The learning device may optimize the second neural network based on the comparison value. By updating the weights of the nodes of the artificial neural network so that the learning device comparison value becomes smaller and smaller, the output of the artificial neural network corresponding to inference and the label corresponding to the correct answer can be gradually matched, and through this, the artificial neural network can be optimized to output inferences close to the correct answer. Specifically, the learning device may optimize the artificial neural network by repeating the process of resetting the weight of the artificial neural network so that the loss function corresponding to the comparison value approaches the estimated value of the minimum value. For the optimization of artificial neural networks, known backpropagation algorithms, stochastic gradient descent, etc. may be used. However, the present invention is not limited thereto, and a weight optimization algorithm used in various neural network models may be used.
