1Measurement precision

If individualized prediction techniques are used for each disease category, then prediction accuracy for each code is improved, but processing resources and memory requirements increase exponentially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the multi-label classification problem into two distinct stages: (1) generating individual non-correlated predictions for each disease category using separate prediction techniques, and (2) correlating these predictions through a correlation matrix to produce final multi-label predictions. This segmentation allows each category to be processed independently with optimized techniques while reducing overall computational complexity compared to processing all categories simultaneously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a correlation matrix as an intermediary component that correlates the individual non-correlated predictions from multiple disease categories. This correlation matrix serves as a mediator that integrates information across categories without requiring exponential processing resources, enabling efficient combination of predictions while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If traditional multi-label classification techniques are used to analyze each code, then comprehensive disease documentation is achieved, but computing resources are consumed excessively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedocumentation accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by generating individual non-correlated predictions for each disease category before combining them. These preliminary predictions are created using optimized single-label techniques, and then the correlation matrix integrates them efficiently. This preliminary segmentation avoids the exponential resource consumption of traditional simultaneous multi-label classification while maintaining comprehensive documentation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Loss of information

If multiple individualized prediction techniques are applied simultaneously, then complete disease profile documentation is achieved, but processing time increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the prediction process into independent single-label classification tasks for each disease category, followed by correlation integration. This segmentation allows parallel processing of individual categories without the computational burden of simultaneous multi-label analysis, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining complete disease profile documentation through the correlation step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
