Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems struggle to accurately capture compositional information in multimodal content, leading to inaccurate analysis and generation of images and text due to the complexity of real-world objects and scenes, and lack the capability to localize and correct mismatches effectively.

Innovation Solution

An image-text correction system that utilizes an image-text matching model trained on a synthesized dataset of mismatched pairs to detect and generate corrections for mismatches by modifying aspect graphs, enabling precise localization and correction of mismatches in multimodal content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional systems analyze multimodal content, then processing capability is provided, but accuracy in capturing compositional information deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in capturing compositional informationVSAvoidcomplexity of real world objects and scenes
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the compositional information into aspect graphs that represent different aspects (objects, attributes, relationships) separately. This allows the system to process complex multimodal content by breaking it down into manageable aspect components, improving accuracy without being overwhelmed by overall complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary aspect graph representation that mediates between the complex real-world content and the analysis system. This aspect graph structure serves as a bridge, transforming complex image-text pairs into a standardized representation that can be accurately processed and compared

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If conventional systems generate multimodal content, then content generation capability is provided, but accuracy in generated content deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy in generated contentVSAvoidreliability of compositional information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where generated content is evaluated against aspect graphs to detect mismatches. This feedback loop allows the system to identify and correct inaccuracies in generated content, improving both accuracy and reliability of compositional information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary validation by comparing generated content against aspect graphs before final output. This preliminary check ensures compositional accuracy is maintained throughout the generation process, preventing errors from propagating

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If systems detect mismatches in image-text pairs, then detection capability is provided, but ability to localize and correct mismatches deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocalization precision of mismatchesVSAvoidcapability to correct mismatches
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments mismatch detection by analyzing different aspects (objects, attributes, relationships) separately through aspect graphs. This segmentation enables precise localization of mismatches to specific aspect components, making correction easier and more targeted

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by providing correction capabilities at the aspect level rather than treating the entire image-text pair uniformly. Each aspect can be corrected independently based on its specific mismatch characteristics, improving both localization precision and ease of correction

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
