Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data analysis systems struggle to accurately evaluate data containing morphemes not present in the training data, leading to insufficient evaluation of synonyms, near-synonyms, and similar terms, as they cannot calculate weights for these elements without additional training data, which may introduce irrelevant data and reduce evaluation accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A computer system that calculates similarity between data elements based on co-occurrence frequency and corrects evaluation values using a similarity matrix, allowing for accurate evaluation of unknown data elements without increasing the training data, by generating a word-context matrix, applying pointwise mutual information, and performing singular value decomposition to estimate evaluation values for morphemes and their synonyms.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If training data is increased to include new morphemes, then evaluation coverage is improved, but evaluation accuracy deteriorates due to mixing in low-relevance data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation coverageVSAvoidevaluation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a similarity calculation mechanism as an intermediary between existing training data and new unknown morphemes. By calculating similarity between unknown morphemes and known morphemes based on co-occurrence frequencies, the system can transfer evaluation values without directly adding new training data, thus avoiding the dilution effect of low-relevance data while still expanding evaluation coverage to synonyms and near-synonyms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent copies evaluation values from known morphemes to unknown morphemes through similarity-based transfer. Instead of creating new training data, the system creates virtual copies of evaluation values by estimating similarity degrees, allowing unknown morphemes to inherit evaluation information from their semantically similar counterparts in the existing training data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Quantity of substance

If training data is increased to include synonyms and near-synonyms, then evaluation completeness is improved, but data quality deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of evaluable morphemesVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of evaluation from direct training data inclusion to similarity-based value transfer. By transforming the approach from adding morphemes to training data to calculating similarity parameters between morphemes, the system expands the number of evaluable morphemes while maintaining data quality through mathematical transformation rather than data expansion.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimension of similarity calculation based on co-occurrence frequencies, moving the problem from a one-dimensional training data inclusion approach to a multi-dimensional space where morpheme relationships are captured through contextual co-occurrence patterns, enabling evaluation expansion without quality degradation.

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

3Measurement precision

If weight calculation is restricted to training data morphemes only, then evaluation precision is maintained, but evaluation applicability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveweight calculation accuracyVSAvoidmorpheme evaluation coverage
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-calculating co-occurrence frequencies and similarity relationships between all morphemes before evaluation occurs. This preliminary preparation enables the system to quickly transfer evaluation values to unknown morphemes during actual evaluation, maintaining precision through pre-established relationships while expanding coverage to include synonyms and near-synonyms that were not in the original training data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
