Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If neural networks are trained to provide deterministic outputs based on learned patterns, then consistency and reliability are improved, but creativity and ability to generate novel solutions deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveoutput consistencyVSAvoidcreativity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system dynamically adjusts the determinism of the AI model by introducing controllable random noise during inference. The noise injection mechanism allows the model to transition between deterministic and stochastic behavior, enabling creativity enhancement while maintaining reliability when needed. This is achieved by adding random values to the model's internal computations in a controlled manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of randomness in the system by introducing a noise injection mechanism. By adjusting the noise level parameter, the system can control the degree of creativity versus determinism. This parameter change allows the same model to produce both consistent reliable outputs and creative novel solutions depending on the application context.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If neural networks memorize training data to perform at high level, then accuracy on training data is improved, but ability to generalize to new unseen tasks deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining accuracyVSAvoidgeneralization ability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent converts the harmful effect of overfitting (excessive memorization) into a beneficial feature by using controlled random noise injection. The noise prevents the model from relying too heavily on memorized patterns, forcing it to learn more robust generalizable features while still maintaining high training accuracy. This transforms the overfitting problem into a mechanism for improving generalization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #22Blessing in disguise (Convert harm into benefit)

3Productivity

If conventional AI models use deterministic processing based on learned patterns, then computational efficiency is improved, but diversity of outputs and human-like creativity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational efficiencyVSAvoidoutput diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial randomization rather than complete stochastic processing. By injecting controlled amounts of random noise into specific computational paths rather than overhauling the entire deterministic framework, the system maintains computational efficiency while introducing sufficient randomness to generate diverse creative outputs. This partial action approach balances efficiency and creativity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

AI summary

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for injecting noise into artificial intelligence (AI) systems, such as neural networks. The noise can be intentionally, deliberately, or purposefully injected into the neural network or AI system or model. The noise can be random and can be injected into an inference process of an AI model. The noise can cause the AI system to explore and develop novel solutions that would not typically be generated by the AI system under purely deterministic conditions. This can provide the benefit of increasing the AI model's creativity.
