Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for classifying and detecting debatable content on social network services (SNS) are inadequate in accurately identifying the likelihood of a document to provoke debate, as they often rely on formal vocabulary and lack robustness in handling informal language and emotional nuances.

Innovation Solution

A deep learning-based method using a two-step convolutional neural network is employed to generate embedding vectors for words in a document, which are then processed through multiple layers to extract features and determine debatability, incorporating hyperbolic tangent or ReLU activation functions and max pooling, ultimately outputting a discrimination value using a softmax function.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If lexicon-based sorters or SVM are used to classify documents, then formal vocabulary can be processed, but accuracy in detecting emotional nuances and informal language is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidhandling of informal language
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms discrete word classifications into continuous embedding vectors that capture semantic relationships and emotional nuances. This parameter transformation from categorical to continuous space enables the model to detect subtle emotional variations and informal language patterns that traditional lexicon-based methods miss.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a new dimensional space through embedding vectors where words are represented in high-dimensional continuous space rather than discrete categories. This dimensional transformation allows the model to capture complex relationships including emotional tone, context, and informal language patterns that cannot be represented in traditional vocabulary classification systems.

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

2Reliability

If traditional classification methods are used, then processing is simpler, but robustness in handling diverse SNS content is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproverobustnessVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs dynamic convolutional filtering that adapts to different input patterns rather than using static classification rules. The convolutional layers dynamically adjust feature extraction based on the input document characteristics, enabling robust handling of diverse SNS content including varied emotional tones, informal language, and different sentence structures.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the document processing into multiple sequential stages: embedding generation, convolutional feature extraction, pooling, and classification. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in specific aspects of analysis, improving overall robustness while maintaining manageable complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Measurement precision

If single-step convolutional networks are used, then processing speed is faster, but accuracy in detecting multi-sentence debatable content is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a two-step periodic processing architecture where the first convolutional layer performs initial feature extraction and the second layer performs refined detection. This periodic action allows the model to progressively build understanding across multiple passes, improving accuracy for multi-sentence documents while maintaining efficient processing through parallel computation within each step.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #19Periodic action
