Solution Overview

Problem

Existing electronic data archival systems face challenges with inaccurate data classification, inefficient storage, and unorganized record keeping, particularly as large volumes of data accumulate, making it difficult to identify and classify electronic data effectively.

Innovation Solution

A self-learning electronic archival system that employs a binary classifier to identify datafields within electronic datasets, utilizing machine learning models to determine the relevance of text segments and images, and a combination classifier to apply weight values to classification sets, improving datafield association accuracy through continuous updates based on feedback.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If traditional data archival systems are used to store large quantities of electronic data, then storage capacity is provided, but data classification accuracy deteriorates and organization efficiency decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage capacityVSAvoiddata classification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where classification results are continuously evaluated and used to refine classification rules. The system learns from classification outcomes and adjusts its parameters to improve accuracy over time, resolving the contradiction between storing large data quantities and maintaining classification precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The archival system performs self-learning and automatic classification without requiring manual intervention for each data item. The system autonomously improves its classification capabilities by processing stored data, enabling it to handle large quantities of data while maintaining or improving classification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If more electronic data is accumulated in the archival system, then data storage volume increases, but the time required to identify and classify data increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata storage volumeVSAvoiddata identification and classification time
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary classification and organization of data as it is ingested, rather than waiting for batch processing. By classifying data immediately upon entry and continuously refining classification rules, the system minimizes the time required for identification and classification even as data volume grows.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts classification parameters and thresholds based on the volume and characteristics of stored data. As data volume increases, the system optimizes its processing parameters to maintain efficient identification and classification speeds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Device complexity

If manual data classification methods are used, then system complexity is reduced, but classification accuracy and organization quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual mechanical classification processes with automated electronic classification algorithms. This substitution increases system complexity but dramatically improves classification accuracy and organization quality, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and precision.

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

AI summary

A system for self-learning archival of electronic data may be provided. A binary classifier may identify a text segment of an electronic dataset in response to text of the electronic dataset being associated with indicators of a word model. A first multiclass classifier may generate a first classification set comprising respective statistical metrics for the datafield that each predefined identifier in a group of predefined identifiers is representative of the datafield. A second multiclass classifier may receive a context of the electronic dataset and generate a second classification set. A combination classifier may apply weight values to the first classification set and the second classification set and form a weighted classification set and select a predefined identifier as being representative of the datafield based on the weighted classification set. The processor may store, in a memory, a data record comprising an association between the predefined identifier and the datafield.
