Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional messaging systems do not provide personalized and language-specific suggested responses, which can be inadequate for users who speak multiple languages, as they fail to determine the appropriate language for responses based on user history and demographic data.

Innovation Solution

A language classification system that uses historical message data and demographic information to determine the most likely language for responses, employing a text classification model to analyze previous messages and demographic data to calculate message-based and profile-based probabilities, thereby selecting the appropriate language for generating recommended responses.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If conventional messaging systems provide suggested responses, then users can save time on crafting responses, but the responses are not personalized and do not account for users who speak multiple languages

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse generation speedVSAvoidlanguage adaptation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary language classification by analyzing historical messages and demographic data before generating suggested responses. This pre-processing step determines the user's likely language preference in advance, allowing the response generation to be both fast and personalized to the correct language without requiring users to manually select their preferred language each time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If the system analyzes historical message data and demographic information to determine language preference, then personalized language-specific responses can be provided, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage personalizationVSAvoidclassification system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The language classification system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a historical message analysis component that processes past communications, a demographic data processing component that handles user profile information, and a language determination component that synthesizes these inputs. This modular segmentation reduces overall system complexity by allowing each component to be developed, tested, and maintained independently while working together to provide personalized language detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If the system uses text classification models to analyze previous messages, then accurate language detection can be achieved, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage detection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The text classification model is trained to identify language-specific features and patterns in historical messages, but the system applies the model selectively rather than analyzing every single historical message in full detail. The classification focuses on key linguistic markers and patterns that are most indicative of language preference, achieving high accuracy while reducing processing time by avoiding exhaustive analysis of all message content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for using a language classification system for generating response messages. A messaging system receives a message transmitted from a first user to a second user, and determines, based on a set of language counter values determined for the second user, a probability value that the second user will respond to the message in a first language and a probability value that the second user will respond to the message in a second language. The language counter values are determined using a text classification model and indicate a number of times that the second user has used the languages in previous messages. Based on the probability values, the messaging system determines that the second user will respond to the message in the first language and causes a set of recommended responses in the first language be presented on the second client device.
