Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Weight of stationary object

If codebook-based methodology is used to compress knowledge graph embedding vectors, then model size is reduced, but additional memory space is required for decoding and all encoded data must be decoded for repetitive tasks such as clustering

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel sizeVSAvoidmemory space
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of stationary objectVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary embedding vectors for entities and relations, eliminating the need to store and decode all encoded data. By taking out only the essential components (embedding vectors) rather than all encoded information, the system reduces memory requirements while maintaining functionality for tasks like clustering without needing to decode everything.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by only decoding and storing the embedding vectors that are actually needed for the knowledge graph, rather than decoding all encoded data. This partial approach maintains sufficient functionality for clustering and other tasks while significantly reducing memory space requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

2Weight of stationary object

If knowledge distillation is used to reduce embedding vector size, then model size is reduced, but the method becomes complex and requires well-trained teacher models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel sizeVSAvoidmethod complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of stationary objectVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses a simple and straightforward embedding vector storage approach rather than complex knowledge distillation. The method employs basic data structures to store embedding vectors, avoiding the need for well-trained teacher models and complex distillation processes. This simple approach is sufficient for reducing model size without introducing significant complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

3Weight of stationary object

If embedding vectors are reduced to low-dimensional space, then model size is reduced, but linear scanning of all entity embedding vectors is required upon query processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel sizeVSAvoidquery processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Weight of stationary objectVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-computing and storing embedding vectors in an optimized structure that enables efficient query processing. By preparing the data in advance in a format that supports fast retrieval, the system avoids the need for linear scanning during query processing, thereby improving productivity while maintaining reduced model size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
