Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional copypasta filters are unable to distinguish between non-disruptive and disruptive copypasta, leading to false positives and the unnecessary strain on computing resources, as they lack a mechanism to allow non-disruptive copypasta to avoid filtration.

Innovation Solution

The implementation of a copypasta filtering system that uses author intent to differentiate between non-disruptive and disruptive copypasta by employing sets of filters, including exclusionary and inclusionary filters, which utilize computer-generated estimations of user intent based on extracted features from content items and metadata, evaluated through heuristics and machine learning models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional copypasta filters are applied to all digital content, then disruptive copypasta can be detected, but non-disruptive copypasta is incorrectly filtered causing false positives and unnecessary computational strain

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of copypasta detectionVSAvoidcomputational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The filtering system is divided into multiple specialized filter sets (exclusionary filters, inclusionary filters, and downstream filters) that process different aspects of copypasta detection separately. This segmentation allows the system to handle non-disruptive and disruptive copypasta through different processing paths, improving both accuracy and efficiency by avoiding unnecessary computation on content that clearly doesn't require filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary filtering using exclusionary filters that identify and exclude non-disruptive copypasta before applying more computationally intensive inclusionary filters. By performing this preliminary classification based on extracted features and metadata, the system avoids wasting computational resources on content that will ultimately be allowed through, thereby improving productivity while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Object-affected harmful factors

If comprehensive filtering is applied to all copypasta, then disruptive content can be removed, but system resources are unnecessarily strained by processing non-disruptive content

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedisruptive copypasta impactVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Object-affected harmful factorsVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and removes non-disruptive copypasta from the filtering process early in the pipeline using exclusionary filters. By taking out these benign content items before they enter the main filtering workflow, the system eliminates the harmful impact of disruptive copypasta while avoiding the energy waste of processing non-disruptive content through the entire filtering chain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies filtering actions selectively rather than uniformly to all content. Exclusionary filters perform a partial filtering action that allows clearly non-disruptive content to pass through with minimal processing, while inclusionary filters apply more thorough filtering only to content that requires it. This partial action approach reduces energy consumption while still achieving the goal of removing disruptive copypasta.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If intent-based filtering is implemented, then non-disruptive copypasta can be distinguished from disruptive copypasta, but system complexity increases due to multiple filter sets and machine learning models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintent differentiation accuracyVSAvoidfiltering system structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complex filtering system is segmented into distinct functional modules: feature extraction, exclusionary filtering, inclusionary filtering, and downstream filtering. Each module has a specific responsibility in the intent-based classification process, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable while achieving high measurement precision in distinguishing disruptive from non-disruptive copypasta.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Feature extraction and metadata analysis serve as intermediary processes between the input content and the filtering decisions. These intermediaries transform raw content into structured features that can be efficiently evaluated by multiple filter sets, reducing the direct complexity of intent-based filtering while maintaining high differentiation accuracy through systematic intermediate processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Embodiments of copypasta filtering system technologies cluster digital content items into copypasta clusters, extract a first feature set from the digital content items in the copypasta clusters, apply a first set of filters to the first feature set, and based on output of the first set of filters, divide the copypasta clusters into first intent copypasta clusters and possible second intent copypasta clusters. A second feature set is extracted from the digital content items in the possible second intent copypasta clusters. A second set of filters is applied to the second feature set. Based on output of the second set of filters, second intent copypasta clusters are created.
