1Productivity

If conventional problem assessment methods are used to analyze customer feedback data, then the analysis process is simple to implement, but the analysis efficiency is low and the accuracy is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces conventional mechanical problem assessment methods with machine learning algorithms (CART decision trees, random forests, gradient boosting). These algorithms automatically process unstructured customer feedback data, transforming the manual analysis process into an automated computational system that delivers both high efficiency and accurate insights without requiring complex manual intervention

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service analysis by allowing the machine learning models to automatically ingest, process, and analyze customer feedback data without human intervention. The models autonomously generate insights, identify negative experiences, and compute economic impacts, freeing analysts from manual data processing while maintaining high accuracy through iterative model training and validation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If machine learning techniques are used to process unstructured customer feedback data, then the analysis accuracy and insight quality improve, but the computational complexity and data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata analysis accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex analysis task into distinct computational stages: data preprocessing (cleaning, tokenization), feature extraction (identifying negative experiences, sentiments), model training (CART, random forests, gradient boosting), and insight generation (economic impact calculation). This segmentation allows each stage to be optimized independently, improving accuracy while managing computational complexity through modular processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies partial action by focusing computational resources on the most critical aspects of feedback analysis - specifically identifying negative customer experiences and their economic impacts. Rather than analyzing all aspects of feedback equally, the model prioritizes high-impact negative experiences, achieving high measurement precision for the most important metrics while reducing overall computational burden

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Loss of information

If large volumes of unstructured feedback data are collected for comprehensive analysis, then the completeness of insights improves, but the time and computational resources required for processing increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of insightsVSAvoiddata processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action through data preprocessing steps that prepare feedback data before main analysis. The system pre-processes text data (cleaning, normalization, tokenization) and pre-trains models on historical data, so when new feedback arrives, the system can quickly process it with minimal computational overhead. This preliminary preparation reduces processing time while maintaining complete insight generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous analysis by processing feedback data in real-time or near-real-time streams rather than batch processing. The machine learning models continuously ingest new feedback, update insights, and generate economic impact measurements without interruption. This continuous action ensures complete insights are maintained while reducing time delays between data collection and actionable insights

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for analyzing unstructured data to generate problem statements using retrieval-augmented generation techniques. Unstructured data representative of customer experiences may be obtained and analyzed to generate problem statements using a large language model augmented by a historical problem statement data set. Generated problem statements may include one or more attributes, including an identification of the source quotation from the unstructured data used as the basis for the generated problem statement. Generated problem statements may further include attributes indicating severity. The historical problem statement data set may be updated to include additional generated problem statements.
