Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI-based media content creation tools are limited by their static training data, restricting their ability to adapt to user-specific contexts and requiring manual intervention for tasks that require intermediate creative input, rather than purely mechanical or highly creative tasks.

Innovation Solution

A deep-learning neural network model is trained using a combination of third-party and user-generated data, allowing the system to adapt to user-specific editing preferences and automate tasks that require intermediate creative input, such as color correction, audio mixing, and musical score editing.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If a static third-party trained neural network model is used, then the system provides consistent performance on training data, but the system cannot adapt to user-specific contexts and content not encompassed by the training data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to user-specific contextsVSAvoidperformance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system transitions from a static neural network model to a dynamic model that continuously adapts to user-specific contexts. The model incorporates user feedback and edits to refine its parameters, enabling it to learn and adapt to individual user preferences and editing styles over time, thereby resolving the contradiction between adaptability and performance consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where user edits and preferences are captured and used to retrain or fine-tune the neural network model. This feedback loop allows the model to continuously improve its performance on user-specific content while maintaining reliability through iterative optimization based on actual user behavior patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If manual intervention is required for tasks requiring intermediate creative input, then the system maintains simplicity in automation, but the workflow becomes time-consuming and less efficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting efficiencyVSAvoidautomation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service automation by using the neural network model to automatically perform editing tasks that require intermediate creative input. The model processes content and generates edits autonomously based on learned patterns, eliminating the need for manual intervention in these tasks while maintaining appropriate complexity levels through intelligent automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Measurement precision

If a user-adapted neural network model is trained with user-generated data, then the system achieves high accuracy for user-specific tasks, but the training process becomes more complex and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveediting parameter accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary training with third-party data to create a base model with general editing capabilities. This preliminary action establishes a foundation that reduces the training time required for user-specific adaptation, as the model only needs to fine-tune on user-generated data rather than training from scratch, thereby achieving high accuracy efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system merges third-party trained models with user-generated data in a unified training framework. This combination allows the system to leverage both the general knowledge from third-party data and the specific patterns from user data, achieving high accuracy for user-specific tasks while managing training time through efficient data integration and transfer learning techniques.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

Automatic editing of media compositions is performed using media editing applications equipped with neural-network-based deep-learning models. The automatic editing is adapted to the practices of local users of a media editing application by training the models on a combination of media compositions previously edited by third-party media editors and media compositions edited by local users. Training data input vectors for the model comprise representative portions of a composition's raw media, and corresponding output vectors include values of parameters that define editing functions applied to the raw media to generate an edited media composition. A user interface enabling a user to adjust and monitor machine learning parameters is provided. Adaptive automatic editing may assist in the creation of video and audio compositions, as well as in the generation of musical scores.
