Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes noise from tabular data before processing. The noise removal module identifies and eliminates irrelevant or erroneous data points, retaining only the meaningful information needed for accurate predictions. This extraction approach allows the system to work with a refined subset of data, improving processing efficiency while maintaining prediction coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the prediction system into distinct functional modules: data preprocessing, noise removal, feature selection, and prediction generation. This segmentation allows each module to process and optimize specific aspects of the data independently, improving overall processing efficiency while handling large volumes of tabular data through specialized sub-processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If traditional prediction models process large volumes of tabular data, then prediction accuracy is improved, but processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by preprocessing the tabular data before main prediction processing. This includes data cleaning, normalization, and noise removal in advance, so that when the actual prediction occurs, the data is already optimized. This preliminary preparation maintains prediction accuracy while significantly reducing the time required for the core prediction process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and removes noise and irrelevant information from the tabular data before processing. By eliminating distracting or erroneous data points in advance, the system can focus computational resources on the meaningful data, thereby maintaining high prediction accuracy while reducing overall processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Quantity of substance

If noise is present in tabular data, then data completeness is improved, but prediction reliability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of noise in the data into a benefit by implementing a specialized noise removal module that identifies and eliminates only the harmful noise while preserving valuable information. This approach maintains data completeness by retaining meaningful data points while removing only the elements that degrade prediction reliability, effectively converting the presence of noise from a liability into an opportunity for refined data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)
