Solution Overview

Problem

Existing software applications face inefficiencies in transmitting mixed-modality messages due to resource overhead, as the effectiveness of these messages is not accurately predicted, leading to wasted resources on ineffective messages.

Innovation Solution

The use of machine learning models to generate embedding representations of mixed-modality messages and classify them as effective or ineffective, allowing for managed transmission based on predicted effectiveness, with a first model generating embeddings and a second model classifying the messages.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If mixed-modality messages are transmitted to users, then message effectiveness and user engagement are improved, but resource overhead (network bandwidth, storage, power, processing) increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemessage effectivenessVSAvoidresource overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification of messages using machine learning models before transmission. The first model generates embedding representations and the second model classifies messages as effective or ineffective, allowing the system to pre-determine which messages warrant transmission and which should be discarded, thus avoiding wasted resource overhead on ineffective messages

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The machine learning models automatically evaluate and classify message effectiveness without requiring manual review. The system serves itself by using the trained models to autonomously determine message transmission decisions, reducing the need for human intervention while optimizing resource allocation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Loss of energy

If machine learning models are used to classify messages, then resource wastage is reduced by transmitting only effective messages, but computational overhead and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresource wastageVSAvoidcomputational overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of energyVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The classification process is segmented into two distinct machine learning models: the first model generates embedding representations of messages, and the second model performs the actual classification. This segmentation allows each model to specialize in a specific task, improving overall efficiency and reducing the computational burden compared to using a single complex model

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses embedding representations as intermediate copies of message features. Instead of processing raw messages directly through complex classification logic, the system creates compressed vector representations (embeddings) that capture essential message characteristics, making subsequent classification computationally efficient

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide techniques for managing the transmission of mixed-modality messages using machine learning models. An example method generally includes generating, using a first machine learning model, an embedding representation of a mixed-modality message. The mixed-modality message is classified as an effective message or an ineffective message using a second machine learning model and the embedding representation of the mixed-modality message. One or more actions are taken to manage transmission of the mixed-modality message based on the classifying the mixed-modality message as an effective message or an ineffective message.
