AI summary

A technology maturity judgment method based on science and technology data comprises establishing a database, an algorithm library, and an index library, and further comprises: performing a data retrieval in the database; performing a data calculation and organization on a retrieval result; performing a regression calculation on organized data to obtain a technical maturity index; and obtaining a judgment conclusion according to the technical maturity index. The technology maturity judgment method is mainly based on a patent analysis method, which assisted by technical data analysis of papers and projects. Technical points are placed in a technology cluster associated with the technology to perform a comprehensive analysis by multi-dimensional evaluation indexes and algorithm. Mapping between science and technology data indexes and technology maturity is established and automatic judgment is achieved. The method does not need a large amount of artificial subjective work.
