Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically selects training data by calculating feature values from candidate signals and automatically determining relevance to training labels without requiring manual condition setting. The selection is performed autonomously based on calculated features and pre-defined training labels, eliminating the need for complex manual condition configuration while maintaining high model accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the approach from manual condition-based selection to automated feature-based selection. By calculating feature values from candidate signals and using these features to determine relevance to training labels, the system transforms the selection process into a parameter-driven automated process that maintains precision without increasing operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system uses training labels as feedback to guide the selection process. By calculating feature values and comparing them against training labels to determine relevance, the system ensures that only appropriate data is selected for model generation. This feedback mechanism maintains both high productivity and high accuracy by automatically filtering out inappropriate data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the selection criterion from manual condition-based to automated feature-based parameter comparison. By calculating feature values and using these parameters to determine relevance to training labels, the system ensures accurate data selection while maintaining quick model generation through automated processing.
