Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional methods for identifying contradicting documents and statements in large document sets, such as during a deposition, are time-consuming and resource-intensive, requiring manual searching through extensive amounts of text or documents.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing machine learning models, particularly large language models, to encode documents into mathematical vector representations (embeddings) for clustering and semantic relevance, followed by hierarchical and parallel processing to efficiently identify documents and statements that contradict given text data, leveraging GPUs and modern hardware for optimized computation.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual searching through extensive documents is used to identify contradicting documents, then accuracy can be maintained, but time consumption and resource requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical searching with machine learning models that automatically analyze documents. The system uses natural language processing and contradiction detection algorithms to identify contradicting documents without human intervention, thereby maintaining accuracy while dramatically reducing time consumption.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-service by automatically processing, analyzing, and identifying contradicting documents within the document set. The machine learning models independently execute the fact-checking process, eliminating the need for manual searching and enabling rapid automated contradiction detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If comprehensive document analysis is performed to ensure accuracy, then measurement precision improves, but computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveaccuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by focusing computational resources on specific document regions and relationships that are most likely to contain contradictions. The machine learning models prioritize analysis of documents with high semantic similarity to the input text, rather than uniformly processing all documents, thereby reducing overall computational resource consumption while maintaining accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts processing parameters based on document characteristics and complexity. The machine learning models adapt their analysis depth and computational intensity according to the specific document content, allowing efficient resource allocation that maintains accuracy while minimizing unnecessary computational expenditure on straightforward documents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Speed

If rapid document processing is implemented to meet tight time constraints, then speed improves, but computational complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements preliminary action by pre-processing and indexing documents before contradiction detection is needed. The system pre-organizes document metadata, creates semantic representations, and prepares contradiction detection models, enabling rapid processing during time-constrained operations without increasing computational complexity during actual analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the document analysis process into independent, parallelizable tasks that can be executed simultaneously. The machine learning models divide the contradiction detection process into discrete processing stages, allowing rapid parallel computation that maintains high processing speed while managing computational complexity through efficient task decomposition.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
