1Quantity of substance

If lossy compression is applied to genomic data, then compression ratio is improved, but information loss occurs

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

A neural network is introduced as an intermediary component between the lossy compression and decompression processes. The neural network learns to predict and recover lost genomic information by analyzing patterns in the compressed data, effectively mediating the information loss caused by lossy compression while maintaining high compression ratios

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of the decompression process by using learned parameters from the neural network instead of traditional decompression algorithms. The neural network adjusts recovery parameters dynamically based on the specific genomic data patterns, enabling effective information recovery at varying compression levels

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The compression system is segmented into two distinct stages: a lossy compression stage that achieves high compression ratios, and a neural network-based recovery stage that restores information. This segmentation allows each stage to optimize for its specific function, combining the benefits of both lossy compression and information retention

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
