Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If a single classification model is used for text classification, then the model structure is simple and easy to implement, but the classification precision and robustness deteriorate in vertical fields such as medicine, law, and science

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel structure complexityVSAvoidclassification precision
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple classification models (including deep learning models and traditional machine learning models) into an integrated text classification system. The models are trained together with a unified loss function that aggregates individual model loss functions, enabling them to work collaboratively to improve classification precision in vertical fields while maintaining manageable structural complexity through modular architecture design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Loss of time

If a single classification model is used for text classification, then the training process is simple and fast, but the generalization performance and robustness worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining timeVSAvoidgeneralization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into independent model training units, where each classification model can be trained separately using its own loss function. The unified loss function aggregates these individual loss functions, allowing parallel or sequential training of multiple models without requiring complex joint optimization, thus reducing overall training time while improving generalization performance through diverse model perspectives.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Ease of manufacture

If existing classification models are applied to short text classification, then the implementation is straightforward, but the classification effect deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveimplementation easeVSAvoidclassification effect
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent designs a universal text classification system that can handle both short texts and long texts effectively. The integrated model architecture incorporates components specifically suited for short text classification (such as TF-IDF features and word n-grams) alongside deep learning models, making the system multi-functional and adaptable to different text lengths while maintaining ease of implementation through a unified training framework.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
