Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional AI-based model training using back propagation requires significant resources and time due to the need for adjusting weights one-by-one based on error rates, which is inefficient compared to existing methods.

Innovation Solution

The use of a continuous feedforward sinusoid to abstract and adjust the positions of neurons in AI-based models, adjusting weights based on the distance between neurons to correct misclassifications, thereby reducing training time and resource requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If back propagation is used to train AI-based models by adjusting weights one-by-one based on error rates, then the model can be trained to achieve desired accuracy, but the training process requires significant resources and time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-calculating and storing neuron position adjustments based on sinusoidal signals before the actual training process. The sinusoidal signal is generated in advance with specific frequency and amplitude, and the corresponding weight adjustments are pre-determined, allowing the training to proceed more efficiently without time-consuming iterative calculations during execution.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter approach from traditional back propagation by introducing sinusoidal signal parameters (frequency, amplitude, phase) to control weight adjustments. Instead of adjusting weights based on error rates through iterative gradient descent, the system uses sinusoidal parameter variations to directly modify neuron positions and weights, significantly reducing training time while maintaining accuracy.

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical iterative weight adjustment process of back propagation with a sinusoidal signal-based system. Instead of using gradient descent calculations that require extensive computational iterations, the system substitutes this with sinusoidal signal processing that directly determines weight adjustments, reducing computational resource requirements while maintaining training effectiveness.
