Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional knowledge representation systems are limited by manual construction, leading to scalability issues, high labor costs, and challenges in integration and interoperability, as they rely on explicit data encoding and require domain experts, making it difficult to handle large and complex data structures, and inefficient in creating knowledge on a just-in-time basis.

Innovation Solution

The system employs an atomic knowledge representation model that combines elemental data with generative rules to automate knowledge creation, using probabilistic methods and synthesis engines to create and manage knowledge representations, allowing for context-based generation and deconstruction of complex knowledge structures.

1Productivity

If manual construction methods are used for knowledge representations, then knowledge can be constructed with high precision and control, but scalability is limited and labor costs increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge creation speedVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service knowledge representation construction by automatically generating knowledge graphs from unstructured data sources. The knowledge graph generation system autonomously processes documents, extracts entities and relationships, and constructs knowledge representations without requiring manual intervention from domain experts, thereby achieving scalability while maintaining reasonable system complexity through automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical construction processes with automated computational systems. Instead of manually creating knowledge representations, the system uses algorithms and processing engines to automatically generate knowledge graphs from text documents, images, and other unstructured data, substituting human labor with automated mechanical-like processes that can scale efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If explicit data encoding is used, then knowledge can be stored and managed, but integration and interoperability between different knowledge systems becomes difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveinteroperabilityVSAvoiddata structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves universality by creating a unified knowledge graph format that can represent diverse information from multiple sources and domains. The knowledge graph serves as a universal representation that different systems can access and interpret, enabling interoperability between heterogeneous knowledge systems without requiring each system to maintain its own complex encoding schemes.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The knowledge graph acts as an intermediary layer between different data sources and systems. It provides a standardized, unified representation that mediates communication between diverse knowledge systems, allowing them to interoperate through a common language while preserving the complexity of individual source systems in the background.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If domain experts are required for knowledge construction, then knowledge accuracy can be maintained, but labor costs and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveknowledge construction efficiencyVSAvoidknowledge accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where domain experts can review, verify, and correct automatically generated knowledge graphs. This feedback loop allows the system to maintain high accuracy by leveraging expert judgment while achieving high productivity through automated initial construction, with experts providing targeted corrections rather than creating everything from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates copies of knowledge representations that can be generated automatically from data sources. Instead of requiring experts to create original knowledge representations, the system generates copies based on patterns learned from existing data, which can then be reviewed and refined by experts, reducing the time and cost burden on domain experts while maintaining accuracy through verification.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Quantity of substance

If large and complex data structures are handled, then comprehensive knowledge can be represented, but system performance and scalability deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments large knowledge graphs into manageable components and uses efficient data structures to represent them. By dividing the complex data into discrete entities, relationships, and properties, the system can process and query large volumes of data more efficiently, maintaining scalability while handling comprehensive knowledge representations without significant performance degradation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Techniques for analyzing and synthesizing complex knowledge representations (KRs) may utilize an atomic knowledge representation model including both an elemental data structure and knowledge processing rules stored as machine-readable data and/or programming instructions. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to analyze an input complex KR to deconstruct its complex concepts and/or concept relationships to elemental concepts and/or concept relationships to be included in the elemental data structure. One or more of the knowledge processing rules may be applied to synthesize an output complex KR from the stored elemental data structure in accordance with context information. Methods of populating an elemental data structure and methods of synthesizing a complex KR from the elemental data structure may rely on statistical inference techniques.
