Its core is to realize industrial automation and electrification, and provide support for the arrival of the information age. Through the understanding of the practice of mechanical and electrical engineering, it can be seen that its application in practice is very useful, and it can be combined with computer technology to promote its development. In the equipment installation, new materials, new equipment, new processes and new technologies will emerge constantly. Today, with the development of modern society, the scale and quality of many projects have been greatly improved, among which the application of electromechanical engineering has a great influence on the development of our country. However, under this background, the safety problem of mechanical equipment has become increasingly prominent. At the same time, there is a big gap between the domestic engineering construction, equipment hoisting and other technical levels and the international advanced level, so the construction units must be actively reformed and upgraded to ensure the engineering quality and improve the personal safety of employees.展开更多

At the same time, large-scale public engagement activities warrant appropriate methods for analyzing their outcomes. This paper reviews how topic modeling could provide such a methodology, which both accounts for all textual data collected in public engagement activities, however large in scope, yet also allows for meaningful topical analysis. It compares topic modeling results concerning a corpus of 179 citizen visions from 30 European countries on desirable and sustainable futures to those acquired through deliberative analysis. While both methodologies contend that European citizens＇ outlook consists of education, sustainability in the economy, health concerns, and fairness in communities, and the particular strengths of topic modeling relate to its documentability, repeatability, cost efficiency, and scalability. Topic modeling can also be considered to support public engagement analytically from the perspective of knowledge formation rather than that of common sense.展开更多
