Solution Overview

Problem

Existing natural language processing systems face challenges in efficiently identifying and understanding dynamic structures and changes within hierarchical structures, making it difficult to effectively process and respond to cognitive content.

Innovation Solution

A system that partitions file content into atomic units and maps them to a classification model, identifying permissive characteristics to create an amended version of the file, which includes only atomic units with the identified characteristics, allowing for dynamic processing and adaptation to changes in the classification model.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If natural language processing systems use traditional methods to process content in hierarchical structures, then they can maintain system simplicity, but they fail to efficiently identify and adapt to dynamic changes in the structure

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to identify and adapt to changes in hierarchical structuresVSAvoidsystem complexity for processing dynamic structures
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments file content into atomic units that can be independently processed and mapped to classification model nodes. This segmentation enables the system to efficiently identify and adapt to changes in hierarchical structures by operating on discrete, manageable units rather than treating the entire content as a monolithic structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic processing by enabling the system to detect changes in the classification model hierarchy and automatically reprocess affected atomic units. The system dynamically adapts to structural changes by identifying modified nodes and updating only the relevant content portions, rather than reprocessing the entire file.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If the system processes all atomic units through the complete classification model, then comprehensive classification is achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the classification process into segments corresponding to atomic units and their associated classification model nodes. This allows the system to process only the specific atomic units affected by changes in the hierarchical structure, rather than reprocessing the entire file, thereby maintaining classification accuracy while reducing processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary mapping of atomic units to classification model nodes before actual classification processing. This preliminary action establishes a structure that enables efficient change detection and selective reprocessing, allowing the system to quickly identify which atomic units need classification updates when the hierarchy changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If the system maintains a complete mapping of all atomic units to the classification model, then comprehensive content control is achieved, but memory requirements and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent distribution controlVSAvoidsystem complexity for maintaining mappings
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent maintains mappings at the atomic unit level rather than processing entire files as single units. This segmentation allows the system to track and control only the specific atomic units that are affected by changes in the classification model, reducing the overall complexity of maintaining mappings while preserving comprehensive content distribution control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Embodiments relate to a system, program product, and method for use with an intelligent computer platform and cognitive processing and associated distribution. The embodiments support a mechanism for dynamically sharing critical and non-critical information responsive to a classification model, such that only relevant information or part of the information is shared. As the classification model is subject to modification, the dynamic sharing mechanism is dynamically updated to reflect such modification. Similarly, as an associated document or file is subject to modification, dynamic processing of the document or file takes place responsive to the classification model. The dynamic classification and document processing employ NLP and ML models to support the associated functionality.
