Towards Comprehensive Innovation Landscape: Technology Retrieval Meets Large Language Models
摘要
In modern dynamic business environment, understanding the technologies companies employ is vital for creating business relationships, identifying market opportunities, and shaping strategic decisions. Traditional technology mapping methods, which rely on keyword-based approaches, face limitations in processing large, diverse datasets and often struggle to detect emerging technologies. To address these challenges, we introduce a novel framework called STARS (Semantic Technology and Retrieval System). STARS leverages Large Language Models (LLMs) and Sentence-BERT to extract relevant technologies from unstructured data, generate comprehensive company profiles, and rank technologies based on their relevance to each company operations. By integrating entity extraction with Chain-of-Thought prompting, and employing semantic ranking, STARS effectively maps companies’ technological portfolios. Our experimental results demonstrate that STARS significantly improves retrieval precision, offering a robust and scalable solution for mapping technologies across industries.
