Solution Overview

Problem

Current data classification methods using machine learning technologies require extensive data, time, manpower, and computational resources, especially when classification rules change frequently, leading to inefficiencies and increased costs due to the need for retraining models and relabeling data.

Innovation Solution

An electronic apparatus and method that identify subtasks related to data classification, obtain scores for each data point based on a model, determine category information, and set threshold values using optimized threshold functions, allowing for flexible adaptation to changing rules without the need for extensive retraining or relabeling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning models are retrained whenever classification rules change, then classification accuracy is maintained, but time consumption and computational cost increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the classification task into a stable pre-trained model and a flexible threshold adjustment component. The model structure remains fixed while only the threshold parameters are updated when rules change, separating the heavy computational model from the lightweight rule adaptation layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of retraining the entire model when rules change, the patent changes only the threshold parameters of the pre-trained model. This allows the model to adapt to new classification rules by adjusting threshold values rather than redistributing learned features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If machine learning models are retrained whenever classification rules change, then classification accuracy is maintained, but computational resources and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent separates the computationally intensive model training phase from the lightweight threshold adjustment phase. Once the model is pre-trained on historical data, subsequent rule changes only require updating threshold parameters, not retraining the entire model architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses parameter changes (threshold values) instead of model retraining to adapt to new classification rules. This approach maintains classification accuracy while dramatically reducing computational resource requirements compared to full model retraining.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If data is relabeled according to changed classification criteria, then model accuracy is maintained, but time and manpower requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtime for relabeling
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training the model on historical data before rule changes occur. The model learns the underlying patterns once and then adapts to new rules by adjusting thresholds, eliminating the need for time-consuming relabeling of existing data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of relabeling data to reflect new classification rules, the patent changes the threshold parameters of the pre-trained model. This approach preserves the original labeled data while adapting the model's decision boundaries through parameter adjustment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Device complexity

If a single unified model is used for all classification subtasks, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability to different classification rules decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel structureVSAvoidadaptability to classification rules
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces dynamics by making the threshold parameters adjustable and adaptable. While the model architecture remains static and simple, the threshold parameters can be dynamically modified to adapt to different classification rules and policies without changing the underlying model structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics
