Whakaahuatanga
Whakarāpopotonga:	Complex associations among production cost factors, multi-source cost information silos, and opaque transmission mechanisms of hidden costs in open-pit coal mining were addressed. The production process—including drilling, blasting, excavation, transportation, and dumping—was taken as the application context. A corpus of 103 open-pit coal mining standards and related research documents was constructed. Eleven entity types and twelve relationship types were defined. Dynamic word vectors were obtained through transformer (BERT) pre-training. The optimal entity tag sequence was labeled using a bidirectional long short-term memory–conditional random field (BiLSTM–CRF) 9 model. A total of 3995 entities and 6035 relationships were identified, forming a symmetry-aware knowledge graph for open-pit coal mining costs based on the BERT–BiLSTM–CRF model. The results showed that, among nine entity types, including Parameters, the F1-scores all exceeded 60%, indicating more accurate entity recognition compared to conventional methods. Knowledge embedding was performed using the TransH inference algorithm, which outperformed traditional models in all reasoning metrics, with a Hits@10 of 0.636. This verifies its strong capability in capturing complex causal paths among cost factors, making it suitable for practical cost optimization. On this basis, a symmetry-aware BERT–BiLSTM–CRF knowledge graph of open-pit coal mining costs was constructed. Knowledge embedding was then performed with the TransH inference algorithm, and latent relationships among cost factors were mined. Finally, a knowledge-graph-based cost factor identification system was developed. The system lists, for each cost item, the influencing factors and their importance ranking, analyzes variations in relevant factors, and provides decision support.
