Solution Overview

Problem

Current internet-based information resources face challenges in maintaining accurate and comprehensive data due to reliance on user input, leading to issues like proliferation of incorrect information and user dissatisfaction from lack of data on certain topics.

Innovation Solution

A system for classifying, rating, and ranking keywords associated with media works, which aggregates user input to provide accurate recommendations and updates rankings continuously, utilizing a hierarchical tree structure and user profiles to weigh input relevance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If user input is relied upon to populate and update information databases, then data quantity and diversity are improved, but data accuracy and reliability deteriorate due to un-reviewed entries and proliferation of incorrect information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata quantityVSAvoiddata accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user contributions are reviewed and rated by other users. This creates a closed-loop system where the quality of data entry is continuously monitored and improved through community feedback, resolving the contradiction between encouraging user input and maintaining data accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service through automated moderation tools and community-driven review processes. Rather than relying solely on professional reviewers, the system allows users to self-regulate content quality through rating and reporting mechanisms, maintaining reliability while scaling data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If human oversight is performed to police correct information entry, then data accuracy is improved, but processing speed and productivity deteriorate due to manual review limitations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidprocessing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary layer of automated filtering and community rating between user input and final database storage. This intermediary process handles the bulk of accuracy verification automatically, freeing human reviewers to focus on complex cases and thereby improving overall processing speed while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system replaces manual human review with automated computational processes for initial data validation and filtering. This substitution of mechanical (automated) systems for human labor increases processing speed while maintaining or improving accuracy through consistent application of validation rules.

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

3Productivity

If data entry is left un-reviewed to increase processing speed, then productivity is improved, but data quality and reliability worsen due to proliferation of incorrect information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoiddata quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary automated validation and filtering of user input before it enters the main database. This preliminary action catches obvious errors early in the process, allowing rapid processing of valid entries while preventing incorrect information from propagating, thus maintaining both speed and quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

4Reliability

If comprehensive user review is performed for all data entries, then data accuracy is improved, but system complexity and operational difficulty worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial review mechanisms where only certain types of content or entries from certain users require detailed review. By selectively applying review processes rather than universally, the system maintains data accuracy for critical entries while reducing overall system complexity and operational burden.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Systems and methods for classifying and ranking one or more keywords associated with a media work may be provided. In an embodiment, a system can recommend a set of media works in response to receiving information about a keyword associated with a media work. The system can recommend the set of media works based on aggregated classification information for a plurality of keywords associated with a plurality of media works, and aggregated rating information for the aggregated classification information. In an example, the aggregated rating information can represent the relevancy of a classification associated with at least one media work of the plurality of media works.
