Abstract
A computer-implemented method for extracting information from a diagram comprises identifying, via first machine learning logic implemented by a computer, features associated with an article illustrated in the diagram. A knowledge graph that defines relationships between the features is generated via second machine learning logic implemented by the computer and based on the features. The knowledge graph specifies nodes associated with the features and edges between the nodes that specify the relationships between the features. A request for information associated with the diagram is received by the computer and from a user. The computer searches the knowledge graph for the information associated with the request and communicates the information associated with the request to the user.
