Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods struggle to accurately predict class labels of multimodal data due to the difficulty in capturing higher-order relationships among various features in high-dimensional spaces, leading to increased computational complexity and intractable problems.

Innovation Solution

A cumulant-enabled multi-omics neural network (CumiNN) transforms high-dimensional unlabeled multimodal data into lower-dimensional embeddings, computes synthetic representations of higher-order joint cumulants, and predicts class labels using a trained neural network.

1Reliability

If high-dimensional multimodal data is processed directly to predict class labels, then the model can capture all original features, but computational complexity increases and the problem becomes intractable

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies dimensionality change by transforming high-dimensional multimodal data into lower-dimensional embeddings through a neural network. This embedding transformation reduces the complexity of the data representation while preserving essential information, making the subsequent computation of higher-order joint cumulants and class label prediction tractable. The lower-dimensional embedding space allows efficient computation that would be intractable in the original high-dimensional space.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts higher-order joint cumulant information from the high-dimensional data by computing cumulants of the lower-dimensional embedding. This extraction process isolates the essential higher-order relationships and structural information from the complex high-dimensional data, separating the computationally intensive part (cumulant computation) from the data representation, thereby making the overall problem solvable.

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent reduces computational resource requirements by first transforming high-dimensional data into lower-dimensional embeddings, then computing higher-order joint cumulants in this reduced dimensionality. This dimensional reduction dramatically decreases the computational complexity and energy consumption required for cumulant computation while still capturing the essential higher-order relationships present in the original data.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by computing the lower-dimensional embedding before computing the higher-order joint cumulants. This preliminary embedding transformation prepares the data in a computationally efficient representation that enables subsequent cumulant computation to be feasible, separating the heavy lifting of dimensionality reduction from the cumulant calculation.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the computation of higher-order joint cumulants with the neural network architecture itself. By integrating cumulant computation into the neural network layers, the model combines the simplicity of neural networks with the ability to capture higher-order relationships. The neural network processes both the data and the cumulant information through unified layers, achieving enhanced prediction accuracy without requiring entirely separate complex systems.
