Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current event extraction methods are used, then the extraction process is simple, but the accuracy of structured information extraction is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction accuracyVSAvoidextraction process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The extraction process is segmented into multiple sequential question information pieces, each targeting specific event arguments. The text is processed through multiple extraction rounds where each round answers a specific question, dividing the complex extraction task into manageable segments that improve accuracy without overwhelming complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Question information is predetermined and ranked in sequential order before extraction begins. Answer mark vectors are pre-calculated based on initial text marks, and the extraction model is prepared with predetermined question sequences, allowing the system to efficiently navigate the extraction process with pre-planned steps

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If multiple question information pieces are processed sequentially, then the extraction accuracy improves, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Question information is predetermined and ranked in sequential order before extraction begins. Answer mark vectors are pre-calculated based on initial text marks, reducing computation time during actual extraction. The systematic preparation of question sequences and mark vectors upfront minimizes processing time while maintaining high accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The extraction process uses feedback from previous question answers to update answer mark vectors for subsequent questions. Extraction information from earlier questions informs and refines later extraction steps, creating an efficient feedback loop that improves accuracy without requiring complete re-processing of the text

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If the search range for each question is kept wide, then the completeness of extraction is high, but the efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction efficiencyVSAvoidextraction completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The answer mark vectors provide local quality indicators that highlight specific regions of text most relevant to each question. Instead of searching the entire text uniformly, the system focuses computational resources on locally identified relevant areas marked by the answer mark vectors, maintaining completeness while dramatically improving efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The text search space is segmented into relevant and irrelevant regions based on answer mark vectors. Each question's extraction focuses on its specific relevant segment rather than the entire text, and the sequential question structure ensures that different segments are explored systematically without redundancy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
