Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for transforming raw data into feature representations for prediction models in healthcare fraud detection and disease progression analysis often result in information loss and inaccurate outputs due to incomplete capture of intrinsic data properties.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates multi-paradigm feature representations by using a combination of semantic and structural machine learning models to process code description and relation metadata, merging semantic feature vectors and structural feature vectors to create comprehensive feature vectors for improved prediction accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If existing data transformation methods are used to convert raw data into feature representations, then the transformation process is simple and fast, but information is lost and intrinsic data properties are not fully captured resulting in inaccurate prediction outputs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidinformation loss during transformation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the transformation process into multiple specialized components: semantic analysis module that processes textual descriptions to extract meaning, structural analysis module that processes hierarchical relationships, and relation analysis module that processes association metadata. Each module captures specific aspects of the raw data independently, preventing information loss that would occur in a single transformation step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite feature representation by combining multiple types of processed information: semantic features from textual descriptions, structural features from hierarchical relationships, and relation features from association metadata. This composite approach ensures that diverse intrinsic properties of the raw data are all captured and preserved in the final feature representation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Loss of information

If multiple types of metadata are processed to capture all intrinsic properties, then information completeness is improved, but the device complexity and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the complex transformation task into separate modular modules: a semantic analysis module for textual descriptions, a structural analysis module for hierarchical relationships, and a relation analysis module for association metadata. Each module handles a specific type of metadata independently, making the overall system more manageable and maintainable despite processing multiple metadata types.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs machine learning models that serve multiple functions: they process different types of metadata (textual, hierarchical, relational) and generate corresponding feature vectors that are then integrated. This multi-functionality reduces the need for separate specialized components for each metadata type, thereby controlling system complexity while maintaining information completeness.

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