Solution Overview

Problem

Current information recommendation systems face challenges in accurately determining feature importance, leading to ineffective recommendations as the number of features increases, and rely on manual expertise, limiting scalability and transparency.

Innovation Solution

A method that determines a first set of weights for feature importance using feature representations and obtains a second set of weights, which are used to modify and recommend information, enhancing the accuracy and user experience by employing models like Logistic Regression and neural networks.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

1Extent of automation

If manual expertise is used to determine feature importance weights, then the recommendation system can be implemented, but the scalability and transparency are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomation of weighting processVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically determines feature weights through machine learning models (Logistic Regression, neural networks) without requiring manual expert intervention. The models self-adjust weights based on training data, enabling the system to adapt to changing patterns in information recommendation while maintaining transparency through automated decision-making processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If the number of features is increased to improve recommendation accuracy, then more information can be considered, but the determination of feature importance becomes less effective

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature importance determination accuracyVSAvoidnumber of features
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts feature weights based on learned patterns from training data. Instead of using fixed manual weights, the machine learning models automatically determine optimal weight values for each feature, allowing the system to effectively handle a large number of features by adaptively prioritizing the most relevant ones for each recommendation context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If traditional recommendation methods are used, then the system is simple to implement, but the recommendation effectiveness is reduced due to inability to accurately determine feature importance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation effectivenessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual expert-based weight determination (mechanical system) with automated machine learning models. Specifically, Logistic Regression and neural network models are used to automatically learn optimal feature weights from data, substituting human expertise with computational algorithms that can process and learn from large volumes of information more objectively and scalably.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
