“…Our work aims to find out similar problems from a large amount of different domains' patents in order to pick up creative solutions for the target problem. A patent extractor tool (Souili & Cavallucci, 2017) is used to extract problems, corresponding partial solutions, and parameters from patent corpus. Then, we compute the similarity between problems.…”

“…It mixes the sentence vector relying on Word2vec neural networks (Mikolov et al, 2013) and cosine metric. We firstly use Patent Extractor (Souili & Cavallucci, 2017) to extract IDM-related knowledge including problems, partial solutions, and parameters from patent documents. Then Word2vec neural networks are used to achieve each word's vector for the given problem sentence.…”

Creativity sessions in industry, when they are based solely on people's knowledge, produce less and less value. This is mainly due to the need to further expand the spectrum of knowledge needed to solve problems. We are therefore increasingly witnessing the limits of our knowledge capabilities to meet the demands of today's inventive problem-solving in industry. The research presented in this paper proposes a method of semantic association between problems extracted from an unstructured textual corpus of a patent using Google's Word2vec algorithm followed by cosine similarity to create original pairings between problems from different but semantically close domains. We postulate that such a method is a preamble to the automation of TRIZ and thus avoids the difficulties of not having been updated for a few decades.

“…To this end, they could apply an evaluation grid to select the most relevant concept [10]. Nevertheless, one of the criticisms often leveled is that this approach does not have the necessary agility, and it is time-consuming [16][17][18]. This is mainly due to the implicit research in each study to construct a complete map of a problem situation by interviewing experts involved in the study and extracting all their knowledge, regardless of how effective it is in solving the problem.…”

TRIZ method has long proven its value without appearing to the industrial world as inevitable. Design researchers have therefore addressed the limitations of the TRIZ method and have overcome them with more systematic approaches. Among these, the Inventive Design Method (IDM) has been the subject of several articles and put into practice in the industry. It is considered an improvement over TRIZ but still suffers from some drawbacks in terms of the time-consuming nature of its implementation. We focused on the IDM process by trying to both identify its areas of inefficiencies while attempting to preserve the quality of its deliverables. Our approach consists of applying the precepts of Lean to IDM. The result is the Inverse Problem Graph (IPG) method, inspired by IDM, but offering significant progress in reducing the time required to mobilize experts while preserving its inventive outcomes. This article outlines our approach for the construction of this new method.

“…First of all, for clarification purposes, we discuss the tool for parameters extraction. This tool elaborated recently in our laboratory is based on linguistic and statistical approach which is suitable for information extraction out of unstructured data [10]. Our tool is described briefly in [37].…”

“…Despite the strength of TRIZ, the absence of formalized ontology that disables the possibility of performing the computation on abstract parameters, our laboratory elaborated the Inventive Design Method (IDM) in order to extend this limitation of the ground theory [10]. Based on TRIZ, IDM permits to easily perform the problem-solving process.…”

Nowadays, Altshuller contradiction matrix is used by many TRIZ practitioners, especially by beginners, thanks to its simplicity. However, establishing the link between user's specific problems issued from their experience in their domain of knowledge makes the use of the matrix often difficult. Applying specific terms of domain to formalized language of TRIZ tools necessitate an expertise that users often don't have time to build. Our previous finding based on Natural Languages Processing (NLP) tools and techniques, made possible to process a corpus of patents from a given field and thanks to Topic Modelling technique we achieved to link the technical parameters extracted out of patents to their context representation on a vector space in the text. However, this approach is not pertinent to identify the contradictory relations between extracted parameters. For this reason, we applied antonyms identification technique in order to better process the relations of oppositions between extracted parameters. The goal of this research it to extract automatically potential contradictions and set them up in an Altshuller-like matrix. Such an approach could facilitate the application of this famous TRIZ tool for practical user's problems. Moreover, setting up the matrix for patents of the new domain of knowledge could help to construct easily the state of art for these types of domain and keep the users informed without spending a lot of time and human resources for reading and analyzing large quantities of texts appearing continuously in each domains.
