Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional automated language translation techniques fail to account for entity-specific and language-specific translation preferences, relying on manual human analysis which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and results in inconsistent application of guidelines, limiting scalability and translation quality.

Innovation Solution

A translation system utilizing machine learning models, including a guideline extraction model, translation model, and validation model, automatically extracts and applies entity-specific and language-specific guidelines from translation documents, generating translated text while ensuring adherence to predefined quality thresholds.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual human analysis is used to extract and apply translation guidelines, then translation quality can be maintained through human judgment, but the process becomes time-consuming, labor-intensive, and inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetranslation qualityVSAvoidtranslation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of manual human analysis with an automated machine learning-based natural language processing system. The guideline extraction model, translation model, and validation model work together to automatically extract guidelines from translation documents, apply them to source text, and validate the translated output, eliminating the need for manual human intervention in the guideline application process while maintaining consistency and quality.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The translation system performs self-service by automatically extracting its own translation guidelines from provided translation documents, applying these guidelines to perform the translation, and validating its own output against the extracted guidelines. This self-contained automated process eliminates dependency on manual human analysis while maintaining the quality standards embedded in the translation documents.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Adaptability or versatility

If manual human analysis is used for translation guideline application, then entity-specific preferences can be considered, but scalability is limited due to the labor-intensive nature of the process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveentity-specific translation preference handlingVSAvoidscalability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual human analysis with an automated machine learning system that can process unlimited volumes of translation requests. The system reads entity-specific translation documents, extracts relevant guidelines, and applies them automatically to translate source text while maintaining the entity-specific preferences that would otherwise require manual human judgment for each translation task.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The translation system is designed to be universal and multi-functional, capable of handling translations for multiple entities with different entity-specific preferences. By automatically extracting guidelines from provided translation documents for each entity, the single system can adapt to serve multiple clients with their unique translation requirements, achieving both adaptability and scalability simultaneously.

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

3Reliability

If manual human analysis is used to ensure guideline adherence, then translation quality can be maintained, but translation time increases and consistency across different text sizes is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveguideline adherenceVSAvoidtranslation time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The validation model operates continuously and automatically to check translated text against extracted guidelines without interruption or manual intervention. This continuous automated validation ensures guideline adherence is maintained throughout the translation process while significantly reducing the time required compared to manual human analysis, as the machine can perform validations instantaneously and consistently across all translation outputs regardless of text size.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action
