Solution Overview

Problem

Current news event recognition methods are inefficient and lack portability, struggling to accurately recognize diverse news events due to their reliance on mode matching recognition, which is slow and ineffective in handling the high frequency of news updates.

Innovation Solution

An event recognition method and model training approach that utilizes trigger words and context words to classify events, employing fully-connected neural networks and attention weights to improve recognition efficiency and accuracy, with a focus on anonymizing named entities to enhance generalization and reduce the impact of specific information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If mode matching recognition method is used, then event recognition can be performed, but recognition efficiency is low and portability is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent recognition efficiencyVSAvoidrecognition time
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical mode matching recognition method with a neural network-based event recognition model. The model uses trigger words and context words to automatically identify event types, substituting the manual or rule-based matching process with an intelligent system that processes events more efficiently and accurately.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the recognition approach from exact mode matching to probabilistic neural network classification. By using trigger words and context words as input features, the system transforms the recognition problem into a parameter-based classification task that can handle diverse event types more effectively.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If trigger word and context word based recognition is used, then recognition accuracy is improved, but model complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent recognition accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the event recognition process into distinct components: trigger word identification, context word extraction, and classification. By dividing the input sentence into these functional parts, the model can process each element separately and combine their contributions, improving accuracy while maintaining manageable complexity through modular processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces context words as intermediaries between the trigger word and the event type classification. These context words provide additional semantic information that helps disambiguate event types, acting as a bridge that enriches the recognition process without directly increasing model structural complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If named entities are anonymized, then model generalization is enhanced, but information loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel generalization abilityVSAvoidspecific entity information
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes specific named entity information from the input, replacing it with anonymized placeholders. This extraction process retains the structural and semantic relationships necessary for event recognition while eliminating entity-specific details that would reduce model generalization to new, unseen events.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
