Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a deep neural network-based AI system is used for item recommendation, then recommendation accuracy is improved, but learning data requirements and time consumption increase exponentially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidlearning data quantity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts key information from review text data using NLP techniques to create feature vectors that capture user preferences and item characteristics. This extraction process transforms unstructured text into structured features that can be efficiently processed, reducing the need for large volumes of structured learning data while maintaining recommendation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary processing layer that includes NLP modules and feature extraction mechanisms between the raw data and the recommendation model. This intermediary layer processes and transforms text data into meaningful features, acting as a bridge that reduces the direct dependency on large training datasets by pre-processing and extracting essential information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If a deep neural network-based AI system is used for item recommendation, then recommendation accuracy is improved, but learning time and system complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation accuracyVSAvoidlearning time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the recommendation system into distinct functional modules: NLP processing module, feature extraction module, and recommendation model module. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and enables parallel processing, significantly reducing the overall learning time and computational complexity while maintaining high recommendation accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary action by pre-processing review text data to extract features and create feature vectors before feeding them into the recommendation model. This pre-processing step includes tokenization, stopword removal, and feature extraction, which prepares the data in advance and reduces the computational burden during the actual learning and recommendation phases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
