Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information extraction technologies struggle to effectively train models for low-resource industry fields due to insufficient amounts of training data, leading to inadequate performance in tasks such as entity recognition and relationship extraction.

Innovation Solution

The method employs a distant supervision approach to incrementally increase the volume of industry texts by leveraging associations between nouns in original texts and additional data sources, using techniques like synonym substitution and back translation to generate new samples, followed by error removal and model training to enhance the precision of subject-predicate-object triple extraction.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional machine learning models are used for information extraction, then manually defined advanced features are required, but this increases the complexity and time consumption of feature engineering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation extraction accuracyVSAvoidfeature engineering time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual feature engineering (mechanical process) with deep learning models that automatically learn features from data. The neural network structures automatically extract relevant features without human intervention, substituting the manual mechanical feature definition process with an automated learning-based system.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The deep learning model performs self-service by automatically learning and extracting features from the input data without requiring external manual feature engineering. The model autonomously identifies patterns and relationships in the data, eliminating the need for human experts to manually define features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If deep learning models are trained on large-scale labeled data, then high accuracies and recall rates can be achieved, but this increases data collection and labeling costs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation extraction accuracyVSAvoidlabeled data volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using distant supervision to pre-label data before formal training. Knowledge graphs and entity relationships are constructed in advance to provide preliminary labels for training data, reducing the need for extensive manual labeling while still enabling effective deep learning model training.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces knowledge graphs as an intermediary between raw text data and training labels. The knowledge graph serves as a mediator that automatically provides structural information and relationships, enabling the system to generate training labels without direct human annotation while maintaining high quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Manufacturing precision

If manual feature engineering is performed to achieve high extraction accuracy, then the process becomes complex and time-consuming, but reducing feature complexity decreases extraction performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveextraction precisionVSAvoidfeature engineering complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual feature engineering complexity with automated deep learning feature extraction. The neural network automatically learns optimal features from data without human intervention, eliminating the complexity of manual feature design while maintaining or improving extraction precision through data-driven feature learning.

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