Solution Overview

Problem

Current deep learning methods for predicting target indicators, such as fund performance, often overlook inherent association relationships between objects, leading to suboptimal prediction accuracy by ignoring existing connections between data points.

Innovation Solution

The proposed method constructs an object relationship diagram to represent association relationships between objects and uses meta-paths to determine attention weights, fusing this information into representation vectors to improve prediction accuracy through a feature extraction and prediction network.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Device complexity

If deep learning methods ignore association relationships between objects, then the model complexity is reduced, but prediction accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel complexityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an object relationship diagram as an intermediary structure that captures association relationships between objects. This diagram serves as a mediator between the input data and the prediction model, allowing the model to leverage relational information without directly increasing model complexity. The relationship diagram pre-processes and organizes association information in a structured format that can be efficiently integrated into the deep learning pipeline.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary construction of the object relationship diagram before the main prediction process. By pre-computing and storing association relationships in the relationship diagram, the model avoids the need to compute these relationships during prediction, thus maintaining low inference complexity while improving accuracy through pre-prepared relational information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If the object relationship diagram is constructed to capture all association relationships, then prediction accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the association relationship extraction process by focusing on specific meta-paths rather than computing all possible relationships. The object relationship diagram is constructed by identifying and processing only the relevant meta-paths that connect the target object to other objects, dividing the complex relationship extraction task into manageable segments based on predefined path patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by determining attention weights specifically for associations along identified meta-paths rather than uniformly processing all possible object associations. The attention mechanism selectively enhances the quality of relationship representation for relevant paths while ignoring less important connections, thus improving accuracy for critical relationships without proportionally increasing overall computational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
