## Abstract

The regional green patent cooperation network describes the structural characteristics of regional collaborative innovation, and the link prediction of the network can anticipate the overall evolution trend, as well as help organizations identify potential partners for technology collaboration. This paper proposes a link prediction model based on multidimensional features, which integrates prediction indicators of node features, path features, and content features. In the model, the entropy weight method is employed to integrate various node similarity indicators, the heterogeneous influence of intermediate links and nodes is incorporated to fully emphasize the issue of heterogeneous paths, and the content similarity feature indicator based on patent text topic analysis integrates multiple distance similarity metrics. To improve prediction accuracy, the Grey Wolf Optimizer (GWO) method is adopted to determine the optimal weights for the three-dimensional indicators. The comparative experimental results show that the multidimensional prediction model can improve prediction accuracy significantly. Finally, the proposed prediction model is applied to forecast the green patent cooperation network in the Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei region of China, and the prediction results are discussed based on the distribution of agent types and regional distribution.
