Abstract: A method for constructing a design concept generation network (DCGN) and a method for automatically generating a conceptual scheme are provided. A DCGN includes a Transformer encoder, a Transformer decoder, an importance constraint matrix generation module, an importance constraint embedding layer, a cross-attention (CA) layer, and an optimization module. A word importance constraint is ingeniously introduced based on an attention mechanism of a Transformer to record input word constraint information contained in a generated text sequence. This can effectively ensure the reliability and effectiveness of a generated conceptual scheme and is conducive to capturing potential semantic importance information and implementing semantic knowledge reasoning.
