Solution Overview

Problem

The increasing volumes of digital information and variability in transactional data pose challenges for automated transaction processing and management, leading to high computational complexity and accuracy issues in identifying and categorizing log entries.

Innovation Solution

An identification and management system that automates the grouping of log entries by reducing their volume through systematic filtering, performs statistical sampling, and uses efficient vector-representation to minimize computational complexity, corrects for selection bias, and updates category identifiers using supervised or unsupervised learning to maximize grouping confidence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If the volume of historical log entries is reduced to minimize computational complexity, then processing speed and efficiency improve, but the accuracy and representativeness of statistical sampling may deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidsampling accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the most relevant and informative log entries from the historical data through filtering mechanisms. This extraction process removes redundant or less significant entries while retaining those that contribute most to accurate statistical analysis, thereby reducing computational complexity without sacrificing sampling accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts sampling parameters such as sample size, sampling rate, and selection criteria based on the characteristics of the log data. By changing these parameters adaptively, the system optimizes the balance between processing efficiency and sampling accuracy for different data scenarios.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Device complexity

If statistical sampling is performed on reduced log entry volumes, then computational complexity decreases, but selection bias towards dominant groups increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational complexityVSAvoidselection bias
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary stratification of log entries into different groups or categories before sampling. This preliminary action ensures that dominant and minority groups are both represented in the sample proportionally, preventing selection bias while maintaining reduced computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies oversampling techniques to underrepresented groups in the log data. By intentionally including more samples from minority groups than their natural frequency would suggest, the system compensates for potential selection bias while working within reduced data volumes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Productivity

If vector representation is used to efficiently represent log entries, then processing efficiency improves, but information loss may occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing efficiencyVSAvoidinformation loss
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates compressed vector representations of log entries that capture the essential characteristics and patterns of the original data. These vector copies retain the most important information needed for analysis while using significantly less storage and processing resources than the full original data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses composite vector representations that combine multiple types of information (statistical features, pattern recognition data, contextual information) into a unified vector structure. This composite approach preserves diverse aspects of the original log entries while maintaining processing efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

AI summary

An identification and management system for log entries may filter historical data and generate closed log entries as a reference dataset. A dynamic learning engine may perform statistical modelling using the reference dataset to assign predetermined categories to each of a number of open log entries. An automation index may be generated for each of the open log entries. The automation index is indicative of accuracy of the assigned categories. Some of the open log entries may be identified as priority log entries which are representative of a group of the open log entries. The assigned category of the priority log entries may be analyzed for accuracy and the results of the analysis may be used to train the statistical model so that the open log entries may be iteratively assigned and re-assigned a category until the category of each open log entry reaches a desired accuracy.
