Entanglement plays a pivotal role in numerous quantum applications, and as technology progresses, entanglement systems continue to expand. However, quantifying entanglement is a complex problem, particularly for multipartite quantum states. The currently available entanglement measures suffer from high computational complexity, and for unknown multipartite entangled states, complete information about the quantum state is often necessary, further complicating calculations. In this paper, we train neural networks to quantify unknown multipartite entanglement using input features based on squared entanglement (SE) and outcome statistics data produced by locally measuring target quantum states. By leveraging machine learning techniques to handle non-linear relations between outcome statistics and entanglement measurement SE, we achieve high-precision quantification of unknown multipartite entanglement states with a linear number of measurements, avoiding the need for global measurements and quantum state tomography. The proposed method exhibits robustness against noise and extends its applicability to pure and mixed states, effectively scaling to large-scale multipartite entanglement systems. The results of the experiment show that the predicted entanglement measures are very close to the actual values, which confirms the effectiveness of the proposed method.
