Solution Overview

Problem

The high proliferation of information from media sources makes it troublesome to properly identify and detect new event types in real-time, as conventional methods lack the ability to build and recognize emerging event models effectively.

Innovation Solution

A self-learning event concept store system that uses text analysis to extract entities and topic vectors from data streams, compares them against stored event models, and validates new knowledge by determining frequency of occurrence, allowing for the detection and validation of new event models and their association with disambiguated entities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional event detection methods are used, then existing event models can be recognized, but new emerging event types cannot be detected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to detect new event typesVSAvoidsystem complexity for building new event models
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic detection and building of new event models through self-service mechanisms. The event concept store automatically learns from incoming data streams, extracts entities and topic vectors, and generates new event models without requiring manual intervention or complex configuration, thereby improving adaptability while maintaining simple operation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing data streams to extract entities and topic vectors before event detection. The event concept store maintains pre-built event models and templates that are ready for comparison, enabling rapid detection of both known and emerging event types without delaying the detection process

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If manual event model building is performed, then event detection accuracy improves, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevent detection accuracyVSAvoidtime for event model processing
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses copying by maintaining event templates and templates structures that can be replicated and adapted. When new event types are detected, the system creates copies of existing event model structures and populates them with extracted entities and topic vectors, enabling rapid model generation with high accuracy without manual building time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies parameter changes by dynamically adjusting event model parameters based on extracted data. The event concept store automatically modifies event model attributes, thresholds, and characteristics based on the frequency and patterns of extracted entities and topic vectors, improving detection accuracy while processing occurs in real-time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If all information from media sources is analyzed, then complete event detection is achieved, but information overload increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of event detectionVSAvoidcomplexity of information processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies extraction by pulling out only the essential entities and topic vectors from data streams. The event concept store extracts and stores only the critical components needed for event detection, filtering out redundant information and maintaining a concise representation that ensures complete event detection without information overload

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses segmentation by dividing the event detection process into distinct modules: data stream reception, entity extraction, topic vector generation, event model matching, and new model building. The event concept store is segmented into separate tables for known events, uncategorized events, and validation queues, enabling reliable and complete detection while simplifying information processing through modular architecture

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A system and method for detecting events based on input data from a plurality of sources. The system may receive input from a plurality of sources containing information about possible events. A method for event detection involves pre-processing and normalizing a data input from a plurality of sources, extracting and disambiguating events and entities, associate event and entities, correlate events and entities associated from a data input to results from a different data source to determine if an event has occurred, and store the detected events in a data storage.
