Methods, apparatuses, and systems for generating solutions

A server comprising:

• a communication interface configured to communicate with a plurality of client devices;
• a processing circuit communicatively coupled to the communication interface, the processing circuit configured to:
• (a) receive a plurality of solution statements from the plurality of client devices, wherein the plurality of solution statements received includes at least one solution statement from each of the client devices;
• (b) receive a set of solution statements from one or more client devices of the plurality of client devices, wherein each set of solution statements received from a client device includes two or more solution statements of the plurality of solution statements;
• (c) identify a most common solution statement from the plurality of solution statements, the most common solution statement received from a subset of users of the plurality of users;
• (d) identify one or more solution statements of the plurality of solution statements that are statistically negatively and significantly correlated to the most common solution statement;
• (e) insert the most common solution statement identified in (c) into a primary group solution;
• (f) identify and insert a most common negatively correlated solution statement from the one or more solution statements identified in (d) into an alternative group solution;
• (g) identify a next most common solution statement from solution statements received from the subset of users that has not yet been inserted into the primary group solution;
• (h) determine that the next most common solution statement is statistically positively and significantly correlated with all solution statements of the primary group solution, and wherein the next most common solution statement has a substantively different meaning than all other solution statements of the primary group solution;
• (i) insert the next most common solution statement into the primary group solution;
• (j) generate the primary group solution by repeating (g), (h), and (i) until no next most common solution statement is identified;
• (k) identify a next most common negatively correlated solution statement from the solution statements identified in (d) that has not yet been inserted into the alternative group solution;
• (l) determine that the next most common negatively correlated solution statement is statistically positively and significantly correlated with all solution statements of the alternative group solution;
• (m) insert the next most common negatively correlated solution statement into the alternative group solution;
• and
• (n) generate the alternative group solution by repeating (k), (l), and (m) until no next most common negatively correlated solution statement is identified.
