Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a language model as an intermediary that translates unstructured text data into structured numerical representations. This intermediary enables the efficient processing pipeline to handle both structured and unstructured data uniformly, maintaining processing efficiency while dramatically expanding data type versatility.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data integration process into distinct stages: language model processing for unstructured data, structured data processing for numerical data, and a dedicated integration module. This segmentation allows each stage to optimize for its specific data type while maintaining overall numerical prediction accuracy, thereby expanding prediction scope without sacrificing precision.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary semantic analysis to identify and extract target influence variables before the main prediction process. By pre-processing the data to isolate key influential variables, the system improves prediction basis quality while reducing the computational complexity of the subsequent prediction steps, as the model only needs to process the extracted key variables rather than all raw data.

Inventive Principle:
