Innovation Solution

A method involving word segmentation, document vector computation using tools like word2vec, clustering, and weight determination through chi-square values and inverse file frequency, combined with local and document-level weights, to identify core words in commodity short texts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If Bag of Words model is used to extract core words from short texts, then the extraction process is simple, but the accuracy is low due to sparse features and unclear themes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction process simplicityVSAvoidcore word extraction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text processing into multiple stages: word segmentation, document vector computation, clustering, and weight calculation. Each stage processes specific aspects of the data independently before integrating results, allowing complex analysis to be broken down into manageable steps that improve accuracy without excessive complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms short texts from discrete word sequences into document vectors in a continuous vector space. This dimensional transformation enables the use of clustering algorithms and weight calculations that operate on vector representations, providing a new dimension for analysis that improves extraction accuracy by capturing semantic relationships and contextual information

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Measurement precision

If manual labeling is used to mine core words, then the accuracy is high, but the method cannot adapt to massive commodity data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecore word extraction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing capacity for massive data
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements an automated system that performs word segmentation, document vector computation, clustering, and weight calculation without requiring manual intervention. The system processes commodity data independently through algorithmic operations, enabling it to handle massive datasets that would be impractical for manual labeling while maintaining high accuracy through computational methods

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual labeling with automated computational processes. Instead of human annotators systematically reviewing and marking core words, the system uses algorithms to automatically identify and extract core words through vector space analysis and clustering, dramatically increasing processing capacity while maintaining accuracy through rigorous computational methods

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