Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for classifying and determining the context of images, such as selfies, require human labeling and are inefficient, as they do not effectively utilize contextual and background information to associate subjects with scenes.

Innovation Solution

The use of associative deep learning, specifically a deep neural network that combines natural language processing, facial expression analysis, and physical properties of images to classify and determine the emotional state of subjects, with negative class training employing Skellam distribution and Bessel functions to enhance confidence in image classification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If human labeling is used for image classification, then classification accuracy can be maintained, but productivity and efficiency deteriorate due to manual effort requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidimage processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables images to classify themselves by extracting features automatically and comparing them against stored reference images and text data, eliminating the need for human labelers to manually categorize each new image

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates and stores reference copies of images with their associated text data and classifications, then uses these copies to automatically classify new images through feature comparison, replacing manual human judgment with automated pattern matching

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Device complexity

If traditional image classification methods are used, then implementation simplicity is maintained, but the ability to associate subjects with scenes deteriorates due to lack of contextual understanding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidcontextual information
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges image feature extraction with text data analysis by combining visual features from images with semantic features from associated text, creating a unified contextual representation that links subjects with their scenes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system processes multiple types of data (image pixels, text data, contextual information) through a unified deep learning model that performs both image classification and contextual association simultaneously, making the system multi-functional

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

3Speed

If contextual information is not utilized, then processing speed is maintained, but classification accuracy deteriorates due to lack of semantic understanding

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-extracts and stores text features and contextual information alongside image features during data collection, so that when classification is needed, all relevant information is already prepared and readily available for rapid processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Determining contextual confidence of images for associative deep learning includes receiving an image including a representation of a subject. Text data related to the image is received. One or more physical properties of the image are determined. Context information of the image is determined using natural language processing. The image is classified based upon the contextual information and the one or more physical properties using a classification model to determine a classification. An emotional state of the image is determined based upon the physical properties. A confidence of the classification and emotional state is determined.
