1Reliability

If current technologies are used to create relationships across datasets, then data integration is achieved, but errors are introduced due to image quality, font variations, or data inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of association detectionVSAvoiderrors from image quality, font variations, data inconsistencies
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the association detection process into multiple specialized classifiers: a first association classifier for detecting associations between text and image data, and a second association classifier for detecting associations between structured and unstructured data. Each classifier is trained on specific types of data associations, allowing them to handle different data types and quality issues independently and effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary processing layer that receives multiple datasets, processes them through trained association classifiers, and generates association results. This intermediary layer acts as a mediator that transforms raw, potentially error-prone data into reliable associations by applying learned patterns from training data, thereby reducing the impact of image quality issues, font variations, and data inconsistencies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple datasets of different types are integrated, then comprehensive information is achieved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle multiple data typesVSAvoidcomplexity of association detection system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a universal association detection framework that can handle multiple types of datasets (text, image, structured, unstructured) through a common architecture. The trained association classifiers are designed to work across different data types and formats, providing a multi-functional solution that reduces the need for separate specialized systems for each data type.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the association detection process by using trained classifiers with specific training data for different data types. Instead of using a single fixed detection method, the system adjusts the detection parameters (classifier type, training data, association criteria) based on the input data types, enabling versatile handling of multiple datasets while maintaining a consistent overall framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
