1Adaptability or versatility

If traditional deep learning models are used, then prediction results can be obtained, but the models lack versatility when applied to large-scale discrete feature data common in industry

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveversatilityVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The neural network model is divided into three distinct levels: a first-level model for learning feature information representations, a second-level model for learning interaction representations, and a third-level model for learning prediction results. This segmentation allows each level to specialize in specific tasks, improving both versatility across different data types and prediction accuracy through dedicated processing stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an additional dimension of processing by adding intermediate interaction representations between features. Instead of directly mapping features to predictions, the model creates a intermediate layer that captures feature interactions, enabling better handling of complex discrete feature data while maintaining versatility across applications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing neural network models are trained on industry data, then predictions can be made, but the model structure must be customized for each business type reducing reusability

Engineering Contradiction:
