Towards an innovative methodology for knowledge fusion from patent datasets: application to inventive design

In short

A doctoral thesis in computer science, started in 2025 and supervised by Denis Cavallucci and Hicham Chibane, on fusing the knowledge held in patent datasets to support inventive design. The thesis designs the graph-building algorithm that turns texts into problem graphs, the engine of TRIZBench; first work on extracting problem graphs and causal maps with language models.
