Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If text mining and topic modeling are used to extract personal information from user interactions, then information extraction capability is improved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation extraction capabilityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex text analysis task into distinct stages: initial text processing, topic modeling to identify key themes, and journey of life attribute extraction. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining extraction precision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces topic models as an intermediary layer between raw user interaction text and final personal information extraction. This intermediary structure organizes unstructured text into meaningful topics, making subsequent attribute extraction more efficient and less computationally intensive.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Productivity

If dimensional reduction is applied to represent text data, then computational speed is improved, but information representation completeness may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational speedVSAvoidinformation representation completeness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms high-dimensional text data into a lower-dimensional topic space while preserving essential semantic relationships. By mapping text to topic distributions, the system achieves dimensional reduction that maintains information completeness through the probabilistic nature of topic modeling.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the representation parameters of text data from raw word frequencies to topic probabilities. This parameter transformation enables compact representation that retains essential information while reducing dimensionality, balancing computational efficiency with information preservation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Embodiments of the invention relate to managing user interactions and, more particularly, to performing analysis on data generated by user interactions. Embodiments of the invention use text mining to extract personal information of users from user interactions automatically. A topic model is used to reduce the number of dimensions required to represent the text, yet all the information of interest is highly pronounced. This enables a lower dimensional representation of the data leading to significantly faster computations.
