Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If manual selection of models, fine-tuning methods, and data subsets is used, then user control and customization are improved, but device complexity and ease of operation deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser controlVSAvoidselection process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic model selection, fine-tuning method selection, and data subset selection based on user preferences and metadata, eliminating the need for manual intervention in these complex decisions while still allowing users to specify their preferences through the GUI

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The model management service acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex fine-tuning process, translating user preferences and metadata into optimal model selections and configurations without requiring users to understand the underlying complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Manufacturing precision

If manual selection of models, fine-tuning methods, and data subsets is used, then customization precision is improved, but productivity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The model management service acts as an intermediary that handles the complexity of automated model selection, fine-tuning method selection, and data subset selection in the background, while presenting a simplified GUI to users that only requires basic preference inputs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs automated selections based on user preferences and metadata without requiring users to understand or configure complex parameters, improving productivity while keeping the user interface simple and easy to operate

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

Fine-tuning AI models is described. According to some aspects, one of a number of pre-trained AI models is selected based on the explicit input and the implicit input. In addition, one of a number of fine-tuning methods is selected. Also, a set of one or more of a plurality of categories is selected, where a categorized data set associated with an organization was classified into the categories using a classifier, and where the selected set of categories identify a selected subset of the categorized data set. A version of the selected subset is used to fine-tune the selected AI model using the selected fine-tuning method.
