Solution Overview

Problem

Existing knowledge graph construction techniques for medical imaging scanners are domain-specific and lack generalizability across different technical domains, requiring extensive retraining for each domain, which is time-consuming and effort-intensive.

Innovation Solution

Utilize generative text-to-text neural networks to construct knowledge graphs by iteratively executing a design discovery tree associated with the medical imaging scanner, enabling broader generalizability and reducing the need for extensive retraining.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If domain-specific techniques are used to construct knowledge graphs, then the knowledge graph accurately represents domain-specific technical information, but the system lacks generalizability across different domains and requires extensive retraining

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of knowledge graph representationVSAvoidgeneralizability across domains
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by training a single neural network model on multi-domain technical documents (medical imaging, semiconductor manufacturing, aerospace) to construct knowledge graphs across different domains. The model learns domain-agnostic representations that can be applied universally, eliminating the need for separate domain-specific models while maintaining accuracy through its ability to handle diverse technical vocabularies and relationships.

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

2Loss of information

If domain-specific techniques are used to construct knowledge graphs, then the knowledge graph captures detailed domain knowledge, but extensive retraining is required for each domain which is time-consuming and effort-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of technical informationVSAvoidtime and effort for retraining
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the neural network model on a large corpus of multi-domain technical documents before deployment. This preliminary training equips the model with general technical knowledge and domain-agnostic representation capabilities, so that when deployed to new domains, it can construct accurate knowledge graphs immediately without requiring extensive retraining, thus saving time and effort.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of operation

If traditional knowledge graph construction methods are used, then the system can handle structured data, but it struggles with unstructured technical documents and natural language queries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvehandling of structured dataVSAvoidprocessing of unstructured documents
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical parsing and structuring methods with a neural network-based system that can naturally process unstructured text. The neural network automatically extracts entities, relationships, and attributes from unstructured technical documents and converts them into structured knowledge graph representations, eliminating the need for manual structuring while maintaining ease of operation.

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