Solution Overview

Problem

Existing artificial intelligence models face performance fluctuations when trained on multiple datasets simultaneously, leading to inefficiencies in image classification tasks.

Innovation Solution

A sequential training approach is employed, where an AI model selects a classification model based on additional information using reinforcement learning, with rewards adjusted based on performance changes, and the policy is updated accordingly to optimize the selection process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If multiple datasets are simultaneously trained for a single artificial intelligence model, then the model can handle diverse classification tasks, but the model performance may worsen due to conflicting learning signals

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to handle diverse classification tasksVSAvoidmodel performance stability
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process by separating different classification tasks into distinct datasets and training phases. Instead of simultaneously training on multiple datasets, the system trains on one dataset at a time, then selects and applies the most suitable trained model for each new classification task based on additional information about the image domain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces dynamic model selection where the system adapts its behavior based on additional information about the input image. The AI model receives additional information (such as domain labels) and dynamically selects which pre-trained classification model to apply, allowing the system to adapt to different tasks without retraining while maintaining performance stability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If multiple datasets are trained for a single AI model, then the model becomes more versatile, but training time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel versatilityVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training multiple classification models on different datasets in advance, then freezing these models and using additional information to select the appropriate pre-trained model for new tasks. This eliminates the need for time-consuming retraining when facing new classification tasks, as the models are already prepared and just need to be selected.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The training process is segmented into independent phases where each classification model is trained on a specific dataset separately. This segmentation allows parallel training of multiple models without interference, reducing total training time compared to sequential training of a single model on multiple datasets, and enables efficient task-specific model selection at inference time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Device complexity

If a single AI model is used for all classification tasks, then the system is simpler to implement, but the model cannot optimize for specific task combinations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem implementation simplicityVSAvoidclassification accuracy for specific tasks
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the classification system into multiple specialized models, each trained on specific datasets for particular tasks. Instead of using a single monolithic model, the system maintains separate trained models for different classification tasks, allowing each model to be optimized for its specific domain while the overall system remains manageable through a simple selection mechanism based on additional information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by training each classification model with specialized knowledge tailored to its specific task and dataset. Each model possesses unique characteristics and strengths suited to its training data, allowing the system to achieve high accuracy for specific tasks while maintaining overall system simplicity through the additional information-based selection mechanism.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
