Solution Overview

Problem

The manual process of authoring scientific documents, such as clinical study reports, is time-consuming and labor-intensive, requiring substantial effort for content extraction, editing, and adherence to regulatory guidelines, often leading to errors and inconsistencies.

Innovation Solution

An AI-enabled system using machine learning and natural language processing automates the authoring process by extracting content from source documents, mapping sections, and performing editing functions with minimal user intervention, adhering to regulatory guidelines like ICH E3.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If manual authoring process is used, then flexibility and control over content are maintained, but time consumption and labor intensity increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedocument authoring speedVSAvoidtime for content extraction and editing

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service automation where the AI-powered engine automatically extracts content from source documents, maps sections, generates narratives, and formats outputs without requiring manual intervention for each step, thereby dramatically reducing time consumption while maintaining quality

Inventive Principle:

Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical process of content extraction, copying, pasting, and editing with an automated AI-based system that uses natural language processing, machine learning models, and intelligent algorithms to perform these tasks, eliminating the time-consuming manual labor

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If manual editing and correction are performed, then quality control is possible, but error rates and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedocument accuracyVSAvoidtime for editing and correcting

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the AI engine continuously learns from user corrections and edits, adjusting its extraction and generation processes to improve accuracy over time, while also providing feedback loops for quality assurance and validation of generated content

Inventive Principle:

Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically extracting, validating, and preparing content before final document assembly, including pre-formatting, pre-validation against templates, and pre-checking for consistency, which reduces the need for later editing and correction

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If comprehensive manual review is conducted, then regulatory compliance is ensured, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveregulatory complianceVSAvoiddocument generation speed

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary compliance checks by automatically validating extracted content against regulatory requirements, checking for mandatory sections, verifying data integrity, and ensuring adherence to guidelines before final document generation, which maintains compliance without slowing down the overall process

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The AI-powered engine serves multiple functions simultaneously - it extracts content, maps sections, generates narratives, formats documents, validates compliance, and ensures quality all in one integrated process, eliminating the need for separate manual review steps while maintaining regulatory standards

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Productivity

If AI automation is implemented, then time and effort are reduced, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveauthoring efficiencyVSAvoidAI system complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex AI system is segmented into distinct functional modules including content extraction engine, section mapping module, narrative generation engine, template formatting system, and compliance validation component, each handling specific tasks independently, which manages complexity while maintaining high productivity

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A system and a method for automatically authoring a scientific document using a machine learning model and natural language processing (NLP) with minimal user intervention are provided. The system configures a scientific document template including multiple sections based on scientific document requirements. The system maps the sections in the scientific document template with content from the source documents by executing a section mapping algorithm and automatically generates the scientific document. The mapping includes matching the sections of the scientific document template with sections extracted from the source documents, and predicting appropriate sections in the scientific document template for rendering the content from the source documents based on the matching using the machine learning model and historical scientific document information. The system executes one or more content editing functions, for example, tense conversion, additional information fetch and display, post-text to in-text conversion, etc., on the scientific document using NLP.
