Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If term frequency is used to determine search result relevancy, then the search system is simple to implement, but the search relevancy and personalization are sub-optimal

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch relevancyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms the search relevancy determination from simple term frequency counting to a complex multi-parameter evaluation system using neural networks. The system processes multiple input parameters including query terms, user profile data, document metadata, and interaction history to generate relevance scores, thereby improving measurement precision through parameter changes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces neural networks as intermediary components between the raw search inputs and the final relevancy determination. These neural networks act as mediators that process and integrate multiple data sources (query, user profile, document features) to produce refined relevance assessments, resolving the contradiction by adding computational intermediaries.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If basic embeddings are used for semantic search, then the implementation is straightforward, but highly personalized results cannot be provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization capabilityVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the embedding system into multiple specialized components: user profile embeddings, query embeddings, document embeddings, and interaction embeddings. Each segment is processed by dedicated neural network layers, allowing personalized results through segmented representation while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates composite embedding representations by combining multiple embedding types (user preferences, query intent, document content, interaction history) into a unified relevance assessment. This composite approach enables high personalization by integrating diverse data sources into a cohesive search result ranking system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

3Measurement precision

If deep learning models with multiple hidden layers are trained, then predictive accuracy improves, but training time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepredictive accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training neural network models on large corpora before deployment. The tenant-specific and user-specific embeddings are trained in advance using historical interaction data, allowing the system to achieve high predictive accuracy without extensive training time during actual search operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements local quality by training different neural network components with different levels of complexity based on their specific functions. The embedding layers, attention mechanisms, and prediction layers are optimized independently, allowing high accuracy in critical components while reducing overall training time through localized optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
