Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine learning technologies face challenges in effectively generating predictive models from historical data elements to accurately predict trends and metrics in new data samples, particularly in web environments, where features may not be represented by existing axes in the n-dimensional space.

Innovation Solution

The method involves extracting key-value pairs from historical data elements, projecting them onto an n-dimensional space, and using a model generator, such as a support vector machine (SVM) or neural network, to generate predictive models. When features are not represented by axes, an orthogonality relationship is used to project values onto new axes, and the model is validated and retrained based on error thresholds.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms historical data elements into n-dimensional vectors by extracting key-value pairs and projecting them onto an n-dimensional space. Each dimension represents a specific feature, allowing the model to capture complex relationships and patterns in the data that traditional methods miss, thereby improving prediction accuracy for web metrics.

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts model parameters including the number of dimensions n, feature extraction parameters, and projection parameters based on the characteristics of the historical data. This adaptive parameter adjustment optimizes the predictive model for different types of web data and prediction tasks, enhancing both accuracy and reliability.

2Adaptability or versatility

If features are projected onto existing axes in n-dimensional space, then the model structure remains simple, but features not represented by existing axes cannot be effectively captured

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature representation capabilityVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

When a feature is not represented by an existing axis, the system creates a new axis in the n-dimensional space and projects the feature value onto it. This dynamic dimension expansion allows the model to accommodate any feature from the historical data without being constrained by a fixed feature set, significantly improving adaptability while maintaining a systematic approach to model structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

3Measurement precision

If the predictive model is continuously retrained with new historical data, then the model remains accurate, but the computational time and resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the predictive model is validated against new historical data, and retraining is triggered only when validation errors exceed a predefined threshold. This conditional retraining approach maintains model accuracy by updating only when necessary, avoiding unnecessary computational waste and reducing overall retraining time while ensuring the model remains effective.
