Knowledge discovery in inspection reports of marine structures
Inspection reports are free-form texts for defects on marine structures. We applied KDT process for understanding the what and where of defects. Particularly, we proposed a concept extraction and linkage as an add-on for SOM. It derives and visualizes a concept graph as a snapshot outlining defect-types. It helps domain experts better understand and systematically respond to defects.
