Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text classification process into multiple specialized components: embedding layer for feature extraction, convolutional layers for local pattern recognition, pooling layers for feature aggregation, and fully connected layers for final classification. This segmented architecture enables automated processing while achieving high accuracy through specialized feature extraction at each stage.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the classification task into multiple parallel channels, each specializing in different text patterns or features. Each channel processes text independently through its own convolutional and pooling layers, then results are aggregated. This segmentation enables the model to capture diverse features without excessive complexity in any single pathway.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple classification channels into a composite model architecture, where each channel contributes specialized feature detection capabilities. The final classification integrates results from all channels, creating a robust system that achieves high accuracy while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
