Solution Overview

Problem

Existing language labeling methods for user-generated video content face challenges due to writing irregularities such as spelling errors, transliteration, and code-switching, requiring manual labeling by proficient technicians and are inefficient for minority languages, especially when training classifiers for hundreds of languages.

Innovation Solution

A language labeling method using a machine learning-based classifier, pre-trained with supervised learning, that collects and filters video information, divides it into target and reference information, and checks confidence levels using reference languages to improve accuracy, incorporating semi-supervised learning for iterative updates with incremental information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual labeling is used for language classification, then labeling accuracy can be improved, but labeling efficiency deteriorates and technical threshold increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage labeling accuracyVSAvoidlabeling efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automatic language labeling through the language classifier that processes video information autonomously without requiring manual intervention for each video, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining accuracy through the self-learning capability of the classifier

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the manual mechanical labeling process with an automated language classifier system that uses machine learning algorithms to automatically identify and label languages in video content, eliminating the need for human technicians to perform repetitive labeling tasks

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

2Measurement precision

If more video information is collected for language identification, then language prediction accuracy is improved, but processing complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage prediction accuracyVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments video information into multiple distinct types (video description, title, comments, tags) and processes them through a unified language classifier, allowing the system to leverage diverse information sources while maintaining manageable processing complexity through modular information categorization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The language classifier is designed as a universal system that can process multiple types of video information (descriptions, titles, comments, tags) simultaneously, enabling the system to improve accuracy by collecting diverse information without proportionally increasing processing complexity

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