Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual labeling and model building tasks are performed by people, then the model can be initially built, but a lot of time and manpower have to be invested

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel building capabilityVSAvoidtime and manpower investment
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs automatic labeling by having the AI model itself generate labels for new data without human intervention. The model uses its own trained capabilities to annotate data, effectively serving itself in the labeling task that would otherwise require human resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical labeling processes with an automated computational system. Instead of humans manually annotating data, the system automatically processes data through computational algorithms and model outputs to generate labels, substituting human labor with automated mechanical processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Reliability

If the AI model is designed according to initial facility environment, then the model can be built initially, but prediction accuracy gradually decreases over time due to facility changes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinitial prediction accuracyVSAvoidadaptability to facility changes
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously collects new data from the facility environment and continuously updates the AI model through automated labeling and retraining processes. This continuous action ensures the model adapts to changing facility conditions over time, maintaining high prediction accuracy without interruption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses new data collected from the facility environment as feedback to update and improve the model. By continuously incorporating new environmental data through automated labeling and model retraining, the system adjusts to facility changes and maintains optimal performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Productivity

If automatic labeling is implemented, then time and manpower for labeling can be reduced, but the process of selecting update dataset and generating labels must be repeated until convergence

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabeling efficiencyVSAvoiditerative process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The iterative process uses performance metrics as feedback to determine when convergence is achieved. The system automatically evaluates model performance after each training cycle and uses this feedback to decide whether to continue iterating or stop, managing the complexity through automated decision-making based on performance thresholds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

An artificial intelligence model updating method includes collecting a new dataset generated by performing at least one task using an artificial intelligence model, selecting an update dataset from entire dataset consisting of the initial dataset and multiple unit data of the new dataset, and generating a label of the update dataset based on an output of the artificial intelligence model trained using the initial dataset, wherein a process of reselecting the update dataset until the artificial intelligence model performance is converged and generating a label of the reselected update dataset is performed repeatedly, and thus, automatic labeling with an accuracy almost comparable to manual labeling performed by human may be provided.
