Automated Identification And Use Of Building Floor Plan Information

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• generating, by the computing device, and using at least the floor plan, an adjacency graph that represents the indicated building and that stores attributes associated with the indicated building, wherein the adjacency graph has multiple nodes that are each associated with one of the multiple rooms and stores information about one or more of the attributes that correspond to the associated room, and wherein the adjacency graph further has multiple edges between the multiple nodes that are each between two nodes and represent an adjacency in the indicated building of the associated rooms for those two nodes;
• generating, by the computing device, and using representation learning, an embedding vector to represent information from the adjacency graph that corresponds to a subset of a plurality of attributes of the indicated building;
• determining, by the computing device, and from a plurality of other buildings, at least one other building similar to the indicated building, including:
• determining, by the computing device, and for each of the plurality of other buildings, a degree of similarity between the generated embedding vector for the indicated building and an additional embedding vector associated with the other building to represent at least some attributes of the other building;
• and
• selecting, by the computing device, one or more of the plurality of other buildings that each has an associated additional embedding vector with a determined degree of similarity to the generated embedding vector for the indicated building that is above a determined threshold, and using the selected one or more other buildings as the determined at least one other building;
• and
• presenting, by the computing device, information about attributes of the determined at least one other building, to enable a determination of one or more relations to the plurality of attributes associated with the indicated building.
