Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual methods are used to determine metadata tag scores, then expertise and judgment can be applied, but the process becomes labor-intensive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata tag score accuracyVSAvoidtime to determine tag scores
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical processes with an automated computational system. A machine learning model processes domain-specific data to automatically generate metadata tag scores, eliminating the need for manual expert analysis while maintaining scoring accuracy through algorithmic evaluation of multiple data features and relationships.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically determining metadata tag scores without requiring human intervention. The automated process retrieves domain-specific data, processes it through the machine learning model, and generates tag scores independently, allowing the system to serve itself rather than relying on external expert resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual updates are performed for new data, tags, and features, then control and accuracy can be maintained, but the process lacks scalability and flexibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over metadata taggingVSAvoidability to handle new data and tags
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements dynamics by automatically adapting to new data, tags, and features without requiring manual reconfiguration. The machine learning model dynamically processes incoming domain-specific data and adjusts metadata tag scores based on learned relationships, enabling the system to evolve with changing data requirements while maintaining reliable control through consistent algorithmic application.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The automated system achieves universality by handling multiple functions within a single process: it processes various types of domain-specific data, generates metadata tag scores for different tags, and adapts to new features automatically. This multi-functional approach replaces multiple manual processes with a single scalable system that can handle diverse metadata tagging requirements.

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

3Productivity

If automated machine learning models are used, then scalability and efficiency are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemetadata tagging efficiencyVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses an automated computing system as an intermediary between domain-specific data and metadata tag scores. This intermediary process automatically retrieves data, applies machine learning algorithms, and generates scores, simplifying the overall system architecture by consolidating multiple manual steps into a single automated pipeline that improves productivity without requiring complex human coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

AI summary

Systems and methods are provided for automated metadata tag score determination that leverages machine learning (ML) models and weighted knowledge graphs to obtain and assign metadata tag scores to instances of underlying data. Examples include generating a domain-specific knowledge graph related to a particular domain. The domain-specific knowledge graph comprising a plurality of domain-specific features connected via a plurality of domain-specific relationships. Responsive to receiving an input tag, examples extract domain-specific features of the plurality of domain-specific features associated with the input tag and a subset of domain-specific relationships of the plurality of domain-specific relationships corresponding to the subset of domain-specific features. The examples then determine metadata tag score corresponding to the input tag for items of the particular domain based on the subset of domain-specific features and the subset of domain-specific relationships and update metadata for each item to include the determined metadata tag scores.
