Solution Overview

Problem

Current active learning systems suffer from limitations in functionality and provide unreliable performance due to insufficient and unoptimized training datasets, making it difficult to detect and address dataset insufficiencies and improve dataset quality efficiently.

Innovation Solution

An active learning platform that performs pre-analysis on a class-by-class basis, identifies areas of insufficiency, generates synthetic data to augment the dataset, and iteratively retrains the model using a search engine and synthetic data generation module until acceptable performance is achieved.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If synthetic data is generated to augment the training dataset, then the quantity and quality of training data is improved, but the device complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining data quantityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis on the training dataset to identify insufficiencies before model training begins. This pre-analysis includes evaluating data distribution, detecting class imbalance, and assessing data quality metrics, allowing the system to proactively generate synthetic data only where needed rather than treating the entire dataset uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses synthetic data generation techniques to create artificial copies of training data samples. These synthetic samples replicate the characteristics of real data while providing additional variety and coverage for underrepresented classes, effectively multiplying the useful information in the training dataset without requiring additional real-world data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If synthetic data generation and iterative retraining is performed to improve model performance, then the reliability of model output is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance reliabilityVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback loop where the trained model's performance is evaluated on a validation set, and the results feed back into the data generation process. If the model shows poor performance on certain classes or edge cases, the system generates additional synthetic data targeted at those specific weaknesses, creating an iterative improvement process that continuously refines model reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of uniformly improving the entire training dataset, the system applies local quality enhancement by generating synthetic data only for specific classes or data regions where the model demonstrates weaknesses. This targeted approach allows the system to improve reliability in critical areas without unnecessarily expanding the entire training dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If dataset analysis is performed class-by-class to identify insufficiencies, then the measurement precision of data quality is improved, but the loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata quality assessment precisionVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system divides the training dataset into discrete classes or categories and performs quality analysis on each segment independently. This segmentation allows the system to identify specific classes with insufficient data or poor data quality characteristics, enabling targeted synthetic data generation for only those problematic classes rather than treating the entire dataset uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
