Abstract

Accurate Identification of Industrial Clusters (IIC) serves as a reference for regional economic policymaking and enterprise development decision-making. Although data-driven methods have been extensively used in previous studies to support objective and effective work, both the data sources and research algorithms have significant shortcomings for IIC. To address these challenges, this paper proposes a novel research framework that integrates patent mining and machine learning. Patents, with their quantifiable knowledge attributes and accessibility from public databases, are particularly suited for macro-level analysis of innovation activities, providing robust support for identifying and analyzing clusters on a national scale, especially knowledge- intensive ones. This article introduces an improved density-based parameter adaptive algorithm designed to effectively carry out IIC based on the geographical location of patent applicants. Based on spatial cluster types defined by Markusen (1996), target cluster
