Solution Overview
Problem
Current documentation methods for device properties lack standardization, leading to inconsistencies in format, language, and syntax, which hinder the effective use of data for machine learning models and limit their applicability across different manufacturers and generations.
Innovation Solution
A method using artificial intelligence, specifically a large language model, to adapt text-based property entries into a standardized format, enabling uniform documentation and facilitating the use of data across diverse devices.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If text-based property entries are documented in free text format with different documentation methods from different manufacturers and users, then flexibility and ease of documentation are improved, but data consistency and usability for machine learning models deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary component (AI-based natural language processing system) that translates free text documentation from different manufacturers and users into a standardized format. This mediator preserves the flexibility of free text input while ensuring data consistency by converting various documentation styles into a uniform structure that machine learning models can process effectively.
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the parameters of documentation by converting unstructured free text into structured data with defined parameters and categories. This parameter transformation maintains the ease of documentation (users still write in natural language) while improving data consistency through standardized output parameters that can be directly used by machine learning models.
2Loss of information
If manual data cleaning and harmonization is performed to standardize documentation data, then data consistency for machine learning training is improved, but time consumption and processing effort increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual data cleaning and harmonization with an automated AI-based natural language processing system. This substitution eliminates the need for manual intervention while achieving the same goal of data standardization, thereby maintaining data consistency for machine learning training without incurring the time loss associated with manual processing.
Solution Approach 2:
The system enables self-service standardization where the documentation data automatically undergoes cleaning and harmonization through AI processing without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by transforming raw documentation into standardized format autonomously, eliminating the time-consuming manual data preparation process while ensuring consistency.
3Adaptability or versatility
If automatic logging systems use different log messages from different manufacturers and component generations, then vendor independence and adaptability are improved, but model applicability and data uniformity deteriorate
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements a universal natural language processing framework that can handle log messages from different manufacturers and component generations uniformly. This universal system maintains vendor independence by accepting diverse input formats while producing standardized output that ensures data uniformity, allowing machine learning models to process data from multiple sources without sacrificing adaptability.
