Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems, such as question-answering systems, struggle to create multiple right answers with varying opinions from different positions in debates, and are limited to outputting single sentences or noun clauses, making it difficult to generate essays with diverse opinions on agendas.

Innovation Solution

A sentence creation system comprising an input unit, agenda analyzing unit, searching unit, disputed point determining unit, sentence extracting unit, sentence sorting unit, evaluating unit, paraphrasing unit, and output unit, which analyzes the agenda, searches for relevant articles, extracts and sorts sentences based on disputed points, evaluates their relevance, and outputs the most highly evaluated sentence as an opinion sentence.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a question-answering system using LAT is used to process agenda, then a single right answer can be obtained, but various opinions from different positions cannot be expressed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanswer accuracyVSAvoidopinion diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the search process by introducing a disputed point determining unit that identifies multiple disputed points within an agenda. Instead of treating the agenda as a single query, the system divides it into multiple aspects that can have different right answers, allowing various opinions to be generated for each disputed point while maintaining precision through structured analysis.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adapts the answer generation process based on the nature of the agenda. By introducing a disputed point determining unit and a sentence sorting unit, the system can switch between single-answer and multi-opinion modes, making it versatile enough to handle both factual queries and opinion-based debates while maintaining accuracy through context-aware processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Ease of operation

If a single noun clause or sentence is output, then the answer is concise, but a sentence composed of plural sentences cannot be obtained

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput simplicityVSAvoidsentence structure flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The sentence creation system dynamically determines the output structure based on the agenda type and disputed points. The sentence sorting unit and paraphrasing unit work together to generate either single sentences or compound sentences with multiple clauses, providing structural flexibility while maintaining operational simplicity through automated decision-making about the appropriate output format.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of sentence structure from fixed (single sentence) to variable (single or compound sentences). By introducing a sentence sorting unit that can combine multiple sentences using appropriate conjunctions, the system adapts the output structure to match the complexity of the disputed points, enabling both concise and comprehensive responses as needed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If various sentences are extracted and sorted, then opinion sentences encompassing various positions can be created, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveopinion coverageVSAvoidsystem structure
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system achieves opinion coverage through multi-functional units that perform multiple tasks. The sentence sorting unit not only sorts extracted sentences but also determines their logical relationships and selects appropriate conjunctions. The paraphrasing unit serves both to improve sentence flow and to ensure proper grammatical structure when combining multiple sentences, reducing the need for separate dedicated components.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges multiple functions into integrated processing units. The disputed point determining unit works closely with the sentence extracting unit to identify and extract relevant sentences. The sentence sorting unit combines sorting, evaluation, and paraphrasing functions to create coherent opinion sentences, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive opinion coverage through coordinated multi-unit processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

A sentence creation system, which outputs an opinion sentence on an agenda, includes: an input unit into which the agenda is input; an agenda analyzing unit analyzing the agenda and judging the polarity of the agenda and a keyword used for searching; a searching unit searching for articles using the keyword and a disputed point word showing a disputed point in the discussion; a disputed point determining unit for determining the disputed point used for creating the opinion sentence; a sentence extracting unit for extracting sentences in which the disputed point is described among the articles output by the searching unit; a sentence sorting unit for creating sentences by sorting the extracted sentences; an evaluating unit for evaluating the sentences; a paraphrasing unit for inserting appropriate conjunctions into the sentences; and an output unit for outputting the most highly evaluated sentence among the plural sentences as the opinion sentence.
