Zusammenfassung:Injection molding, the most common method used to process plastics, is a technique with a high knowledge content; however, relevant knowledge has not been systematically organized, and as a result, there have been many bottlenecks in talent cultivation. Moreover, most of the knowledge stored in books and online articles remains in the form of unstructured data, while some even remains unwritten, resulting in many difficulties in the construction of knowledge bases. Therefore, how to extract knowledge from unstructured data and engineers’ statements is a common goal of many enterprises. This study introduced the concept of a Knowledge Graph, a triplet extraction model based on bidirectional encoder representations from transformers (BERT) which was used to extract injection molding knowledge entities from text data, as well as the relationships between such entities, which were then stored in the form of knowledge graphs after entity alignment and classification with sentence-bidirectional encoder representations from transformers. In a test, the triplet extraction model achieved an F1 score of 0.899, while the entity alignment model and the entity classification model achieved accuracies of 0.92 and 0.93, respectively. Finally, a web platform was built to integrate the functions to allow engineers to expand the knowledge graphs by inputting learning statements.
