Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning-based data classification methods face a decrease in precision when the distribution of training data differs from the true distribution of the data being classified, leading to inaccurate classification results.

Innovation Solution

A data classification method that calculates appearance probabilities of feature quantities in the training data and adjusts the weighting of these features based on their likelihood in the true distribution, ensuring that the model generated reflects the true distribution of the data for more accurate classification.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning is performed using training data with a distribution different from the true distribution, then the classification process can be completed, but the classification precision decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification precisionVSAvoiddistribution mismatch
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of feature quantity weighting by calculating appearance probabilities that reflect the true distribution. Instead of using fixed weights from training data with mismatched distribution, the system dynamically adjusts weights based on calculated appearance probabilities, thereby adapting to the true distribution and improving classification precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a feedback mechanism where the system calculates appearance probabilities based on the true distribution and uses this information to adjust feature quantity weights. This closed-loop approach continuously refines the classification model by incorporating distributional information, ensuring the classifier adapts to the true data distribution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If the weighting of feature quantities is adjusted based on appearance probabilities, then the classification precision is improved, but the computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification precisionVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary calculation of appearance probabilities before the actual classification process. By pre-computing the probabilities that reflect the true distribution, the system prepares the adjusted weights in advance, which then simplifies the subsequent classification operations rather than increasing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
