Extracting Key Technology Using Advanced Fuzzy Clustering
نویسندگان
چکیده
Most companies that have developed their own technology have registered and patented the results. As a result, patent and technology management (PTM) has become important to companies needing to improve their market competitiveness. Using the PTM process, a company can develop a new product that is competitive in their market. First, we need to know the key technology (KT) a company uses to develop new technology. In this paper, we propose a method of extracting the KT for new product development and effective PTM. The proposed method uses advanced fuzzy clustering, which groups patents into clusters according to their technological difference. To verify the performance of our method, we perform a case study using all patents applied for by the company Adobe Systems Incorporated.

متن کاملImage Segmentation: Type–2 Fuzzy Possibilistic C-Mean Clustering Approach
Image segmentation is an essential issue in image description and classification. Currently, in many real applications, segmentation is still mainly manual or strongly supervised by a human expert, which makes it irreproducible and deteriorating. Moreover, there are many uncertainties and vagueness in images, which crisp clustering and even Type-1 fuzzy clustering could not handle. Hence, Type-...
