Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If multiple models (term, embeddings, summary, neighborhood) are combined to improve identification accuracy, then the accuracy of identifying tabular content is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of identifying tabular contentVSAvoidcomplexity of combining multiple models
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The identification system is divided into four independent models (term model, embeddings model, summary model, neighborhood model), each responsible for a specific aspect of tabular content identification. This segmentation allows each model to be optimized independently while contributing to the overall accuracy through their combined scores.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines the outputs of four separate models into a unified identification result by integrating their scores. The term model score, embeddings model score, summary model score, and neighborhood model score are merged to produce the final identification accuracy, leveraging the strengths of each individual model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If multiple features (frequency, positioning, text, image, layout) are extracted and processed, then the measurement precision is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of page relevance scoringVSAvoidtime for processing multiple features
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

Frequency features, positioning features, text embeddings, image embeddings, and layout embeddings are extracted and processed in advance before the final relevance scoring. This preliminary extraction allows the models to work with pre-processed data, reducing the time required during the actual identification process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The feature extraction process operates continuously across all pages and models, with each model receiving and processing the extracted features without interruption. This continuous processing ensures that all features are utilized efficiently to maintain high measurement precision while minimizing delays.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A method computes page relevance for tabular contents from a document. The method includes receiving a table type and executing a term model to generate a term score of the page. The method further includes executing an embeddings model to generate an embeddings score of the page. The method further includes executing a summary model using a page summary generated with a language model to generate a summary score of the page. The method further includes executing a neighborhood model using a set of pages from the document to generate a neighborhood score of the page. The method further includes executing a combination model using the term score, the embeddings score, the summary score, and the neighborhood score to generate a combined score of the page. The method further includes presenting the combined score to indicate the page includes the table of the table type.
