Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If unsupervised learning is used to generate a learned model, then the model can be generated without labeled data, but the inference accuracy is low

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoiddata preparation requirement
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the learning process into two distinct phases: a learning data acquisition phase where labeled data is collected and preprocessed, and a learning model generation phase where the model is trained using the prepared data. This segmentation allows the system to leverage the high accuracy of supervised learning while managing data requirements through structured acquisition and preparation processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary actions by acquiring and preprocessing learning data before model generation. The system pre-processes the data to ensure it is ready for training, which enables the use of supervised learning methods that require clean, prepared data, thereby achieving high inference accuracy without needing complex data processing during the training phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If supervised learning is used to generate a learned model, then the inference accuracy is high, but learning data must be acquired and prepared

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidlearning data quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary data acquisition and preparation actions to create a ready-to-use learning dataset. By pre-acquiring and pre-processing the data, the system can efficiently train the model without needing to collect and process large amounts of data during the training phase, thus reducing the effective data quantity requirement while maintaining high inference accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a learned model that copies and generalizes patterns from the learning data. The model learns representative features and relationships from the training data, enabling it to accurately categorize new input data without requiring the actual input data to be processed in detail during inference, thereby reducing the effective data quantity needed for accurate predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Reliability

If morphological analysis and predicate extraction are performed, then the learned model can accurately categorize data, but the processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecategorization accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the text processing into distinct modules: morphological analysis unit that performs word segmentation and POS tagging, and predicate extraction unit that identifies predicate words from the morphological analysis results. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific tasks, improving categorization accuracy while making the overall processing complexity more manageable through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system extracts only the necessary information from the text data through morphological analysis and predicate extraction. By taking out and focusing on predicate words and their relationships with nouns and adjectives, the system achieves accurate categorization without processing every detail of the input text, thus reducing unnecessary processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
