Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If interview-based evaluation or activity-based evaluation is used to assess learners' thinking ability, then the assessment can be conducted with expert involvement, but the results are subjective and prone to expert biases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidobjectivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical expert evaluation system with an automated deep learning model (Exercise Classification Model and Thinking Ability Prediction Model) that processes exercise text data and prediction data to generate objective thinking ability assessments, eliminating human subjectivity and bias while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service assessment where the deep learning models automatically process exercise data and generate thinking ability predictions without requiring expert intervention, making the assessment process both objective and scalable

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If interview-based evaluation or activity-based evaluation is used, then expert judgment can be applied, but the process requires significant time and resources

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment qualityVSAvoidassessment time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training the deep learning models on large datasets and pre-processing exercise text data through the Exercise Classification Model before actual assessment, enabling rapid automated predictions that eliminate the time-consuming manual expert evaluation process while maintaining assessment quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The automated deep learning-based assessment system replaces the time-intensive manual expert evaluation process, providing rapid thinking ability predictions without sacrificing assessment quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional assessment methods are used, then expert design is possible, but the system lacks adaptability to different learners and contexts

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment flexibilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal assessment system where the deep learning models can process diverse exercise text data and adapt to different learners automatically, making the system versatile across various contexts without requiring complex custom design for each case

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

AI summary

A deep learning-based method for predicting thinking ability includes: obtaining a practice text set already completed by a user; inputting the exercise text set into an exercise classification model to obtain corresponding exercise categories for each exercise text in the exercise text set; mapping an exercise result set corresponding to the exercise text set to the exercise categories corresponding to each exercise text in the exercise text set, so as to obtain a correspondence set between the exercise categories and the exercise results; constructing an input vector based on the correspondence set between the exercise categories and the exercise results; and inputting the input vector into a thinking ability prediction model to obtain the user's thinking ability prediction result. A thinking ability prediction apparatus, device, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium based on deep learning are also provided.
