Knowledge discovery in inspection reports of marine structures

作者：

Highlights：

• 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.
