Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional CRM systems use resource-intensive feature engineering to overcome data sparsity, then prediction accuracy can be improved, but system complexity and resource consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical feature engineering processes with a deep learning network that automatically learns features from raw data. The neural network's distributed representation learning mechanism substitutes manual feature extraction, reducing system complexity while maintaining or improving prediction accuracy through automated pattern recognition in the data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the analytics system by transitioning from sparse enterprise data with manual features to dense global data with automated neural network features. This parameter change in data density and feature representation enables accurate predictions without resource-intensive engineering processes.

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the deep learning network on large global datasets before deployment. This pre-training phase performs the computationally intensive feature learning in advance, so that during actual prediction operations, the network can quickly process enterprise data without requiring extensive real-time feature engineering, thus reducing processing time while maintaining prediction quality.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a deep learning network that can process multiple types of global data sources (social media, search logs, commercial databases) through a unified architecture. The network's distributed representation learning mechanism universally handles diverse data formats and structures, enabling enhanced predictive capability across different data sources without requiring separate integration processes for each source type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

4Measurement precision

If traditional systems rely on enterprise-specific data only, then data privacy is maintained, but predictive accuracy is limited due to data sparsity

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses the deep learning network's distributed representation learning as an intermediary that processes global data sources and transforms them into learned features and embeddings. These intermediaries capture patterns and relationships from abundant global data without exposing raw enterprise-specific information, thereby improving predictive accuracy through enhanced data availability while maintaining data privacy through the network's learned representations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

A deep learning network is trained to automatically analyze enterprise data. Raw data from one or more global data sources is received, and a specific training dataset that includes data exemplary of the enterprise data is also received. The raw data from the global data sources is used to pre-train the deep learning network to predict the results of a specific enterprise outcome scenario. The specific training dataset is then used to further train the deep learning network to predict the results of a specific enterprise outcome scenario. Alternately, the raw data from the global data sources may be automatically mined to identify semantic relationships there-within, and the identified semantic relationships may be used to pre-train the deep learning network to predict the results of a specific enterprise outcome scenario.
