Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual labeling process with automated machine learning-based entity classification and rating systems. The entity classification model engine uses trained classification parameters to automatically determine entity types, substituting human manual tagging operations with automated computational processes that analyze activity data patterns

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses a unified machine learning framework where the entity classification model engine and entity rating model engine share common infrastructure and processing pipelines. Both models operate on activity data through standardized interfaces, allowing the system to handle multiple entity-related tasks (classification, rating, discovery, recommendation) through a single automated platform, thereby managing complexity while maintaining high productivity

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

4Measurement precision

If user feedback and modifications are incorporated, then entity rating accuracy is improved, but system complexity and processing time increase
