Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If statistical-based domain dictionary constructing method is used with manual annotation and model training, then domain word recognition accuracy can be improved, but construction efficiency deteriorates and usage conditions become limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedomain word recognition accuracyVSAvoiddictionary construction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enables the domain dictionary construction system to automatically identify and extract domain words from corpus samples without requiring manual annotation. The system uses unsupervised learning techniques where the model autonomously learns domain word patterns and performs self-correction, eliminating the need for human annotators while maintaining high recognition accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual annotation process with an automated computational system. Instead of relying on human experts to manually label domain words in corpus samples, the system uses natural language processing algorithms and machine learning models to automatically identify domain words, thereby dramatically improving construction efficiency while preserving accuracy.

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

2Measurement precision

If manual annotation and model training are required, then domain word extraction accuracy can be improved, but the complexity of the construction process increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential computational components needed for domain word identification, separating the automated extraction process from complex manual annotation workflows. By focusing on key NLP techniques and removing unnecessary manual steps, the system maintains high extraction accuracy while simplifying the overall construction process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Reliability

If accumulated domain words and manual annotation are used, then domain dictionary quality can be improved, but the time required for construction increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary processing of corpus samples by pre-segmenting text into character units and pre-calculating correlation indices before domain word identification. This preliminary action prepares the data in advance, allowing the main extraction process to run faster while maintaining quality, thereby reducing overall construction time without sacrificing dictionary reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
