“…Automatic summary representation of design-related topics or entities in technical design documents is an important task in engineering design since it can inform designers in various tasks in different phases of the design process (Dong and Agogino, 1996;Szykman et al, 2000). For instance, engineering design researchers have studied the topics in large design repositories to reveal the prominent and emerging fields (Chiarello et al, 2019;Song, Yan, et al, 2019), or to discover the structure of these repositories and enable the search for prior arts and design inspiration (or stimuli) in the early design stages (Fu et al, 2013;Song, Meinzer, et al, 2020). Topic mapping methods can provide various insights, such as most frequently addressed topics or particular topics within a collection of documents (Řehůřek and Sojka, 2010).…”
