Solution Overview

Problem

Current systems for data profile segmentation struggle with accurately identifying and classifying small data sets, leading to inaccurate classification and laborious analysis, especially when data is limited to a few words, and fail to generate actionable insights or descriptive names for personas.

Innovation Solution

An automated machine learning system for attribute-based clustering of data profiles, using a sequence prediction architecture with conditional random field models to extract features, vectorize information components, and perform hierarchical clustering, generating descriptive names and database queries for optimized cluster representation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If cluster analysis is used to discover groups of similar profiles, then classification accuracy improves, but large dataset requirements worsen the system's applicability to small data sets

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoiddata volume requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments text data into small components (words, phrases, entities) and processes them individually through specialized models. This segmentation allows the system to extract meaningful features from limited text data without requiring large volumes, thereby maintaining classification accuracy while reducing data volume requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms text data into vector representations in a multi-dimensional space, enabling cluster analysis to operate effectively even with small datasets. By converting textual information into numerical vectors with multiple dimensions, the system can capture nuanced relationships and perform accurate classification without needing large amounts of raw text data.

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

2Device complexity

If traditional classification systems are used with limited text data, then system complexity is reduced, but classification accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidclassification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments text processing into distinct stages: component extraction, classification, vectorization, and clustering. Each stage uses specialized models tailored to its specific task, allowing accurate classification of limited text data while keeping each individual component relatively simple and manageable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces intermediate representations (vector embeddings) that bridge raw text data and final classification results. These intermediate vectors capture semantic meaning and relationships, enabling accurate classification of small text datasets without requiring overly complex direct classification systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Loss of information

If laborious analysis and deconstruction is performed to understand clusters, then actionable insight quality improves, but time consumption worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinsight qualityVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by automatically generating descriptive names and summaries for clusters before any human analysis is needed. This preliminary characterization of clusters provides immediate actionable insights and reduces the time required for subsequent analysis, while maintaining high information quality through automated feature extraction and synthesis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically generating cluster descriptions, names, and interpretations without requiring manual analysis. The automated generation of actionable insights from cluster data eliminates the need for laborious human deconstruction, reducing analysis time while preserving insight quality through sophisticated natural language processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
