Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for calculating text semantic similarity rely solely on vector representations, which fail to capture the nuanced differences in meaning between texts with similar character compositions, leading to inaccurate similarity calculations.

Innovation Solution

A method that combines text structural features, optimized through scaling and standardization, with text plane features using a multi-layer perceptron, and utilizes a support vector regression model with a kernel function to calculate text similarity, enhancing the accuracy of similarity assessment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If text similarity is calculated solely based on vector representations, then the calculation process is simple, but the accuracy of semantic similarity is poor

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic similarity accuracyVSAvoidfeature extraction complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments text analysis into multiple feature dimensions: text plane features (character-level patterns) and text structural features (syntax trees, dependency relationships). This segmentation allows comprehensive semantic analysis while maintaining modular processing, resolving the contradiction between accuracy and complexity by organizing complex features into manageable segments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent combines multiple feature types (plane features and structural features) into a composite feature representation. By integrating character-level patterns with syntactic and semantic structures, the system achieves high-precision semantic similarity measurement, effectively resolving the contradiction between measurement precision and feature extraction complexity.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary feature extraction and scaling before similarity calculation. By pre-processing text into plane features and structural features, and applying feature scaling in advance, the system reduces computational burden during the actual similarity computation, effectively managing the trade-off between accuracy and computational power.

Inventive Principle:
