Several works have been done in the last decades for understanding tables in documents, but most of them were not specifically designed to understand tables in engineering specification documents. Tables in engineering specifications have characteristics such as various table structures with restricted terms. A framework is developed to address the issues in understanding tables in engineering specification documents. The framework consists of three steps: (1) Identifying minimal tables, (2) classifying cells, and (3) extending a domain knowledge map. A modified XY-tree algorithm was developed to find minimal tables, and a neural network algorithm was adopted to classify cells into labels and data. Then, specific domain rules were developed to discover concepts and relationships from terms in the classified cells. It is assumed a domain ontology is given, and it is extended with new concepts and relationships extracted from tables. We illustrated how each step performed with engineering table examples. The proposed framework could be used for searching product specification and for discovering hidden knowledge from tables in engineering specification documents.

To address deficiencies in the process of fault diagnosis of belt conveyor, this study uses a BP neural network algorithm combined with fuzzy theory to provide an intelligent fault diagnosis method for belt conveyor and to establish a BP neural network fault diagnosis model with a predictive function. Matlab is used to simulate the fuzzy BP neural network fault diagnosis of the belt conveyor. Results show that the fuzzy neural network can filter out unnecessary information; save time and space; and improve the fault diagnosis recognition, classification, and fault location capabilities of belt conveyor. The proposed model has high practical value for engineering.

The irrationality between the procurement and distribution of the logistics system increases unnecessary circulation links and greatly reduces logistics efficiency, which not only causes a waste of transportation resources, but also increases logistics costs. In order to improve the operation efficiency of the logistics system, based on the improved neural network algorithm, this paper combines the logistic regression algorithm to construct a logistics demand forecasting model based on the improved neural network algorithm. Moreover, according to the characteristics of the complexity of the data in the data mining task itself, this article optimizes the ladder network structure, and combines its supervisory decision-making part with the shallow network to make the model more suitable for logistics demand forecasting. In addition, this paper analyzes the performance of the model based on examples and uses the grey relational analysis method to give the degree of correlation between each influencing factor and logistics demand. The research results show that the model constructed in this paper is reasonable and can be analyzed from a practical perspective.
