Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI models struggle to maintain inference accuracy across different ethnic groups, requiring retraining when switching from white-oriented to Asian-oriented data, and often fail to meet user requirements for general-purpose models.

Innovation Solution

An AI server capable of updating and providing a classification layer, which includes training the AI model with classification training data and labeling data to optimize the classification layer for specific ethnic groups, while keeping the feature extraction layer unchanged, thereby reducing the need for full model retraining.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the entire AI model is retrained with Asian-oriented training data, then the inference accuracy for Asians is improved, but the training cost and time increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI model into two independent parts: a feature extraction layer and a classification layer. By updating only the classification layer with Asian-oriented training data while keeping the feature extraction layer unchanged, the system achieves improved inference accuracy for Asians without the need to retrain the entire model, thereby significantly reducing training time and computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and updates only the classification layer from the complete AI model. This selective extraction allows the system to focus training resources on the specific component responsible for classification decisions, improving efficiency while maintaining the benefits of the pre-trained feature extraction layer.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If the entire AI model is retrained with Asian-oriented training data, then the inference accuracy for Asians is improved, but the training cost increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidtraining cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the AI model into two independent parts: a feature extraction layer and a classification layer. By updating only the classification layer with Asian-oriented training data while keeping the feature extraction layer unchanged, the system achieves improved inference accuracy for Asians without the need to retrain the entire model, thereby significantly reducing training time and computational resources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by updating only the necessary classification layer rather than the entire model. This approach uses just enough training resources to achieve the desired improvement in inference accuracy for Asian faces, avoiding the excessive computational cost of full model retraining.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If a general-purpose AI model is used for both whites and Asians, then the model can be applied universally, but the performance does not meet user requirements for specific ethnic groups

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel applicabilityVSAvoidinference accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic model architecture where the classification layer can be flexibly updated for different ethnic groups while maintaining the universal feature extraction layer. This allows the system to adapt to specific user requirements (e.g., Asian-oriented or white-oriented classification) by swapping or retraining only the classification layer, thereby achieving both universality and specialized performance.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by optimizing the classification layer for specific ethnic groups while keeping the feature extraction layer general-purpose. This allows different parts of the model to have different specialization levels, with the classification layer tailored to local requirements (Asian or white) and the feature extraction layer maintaining universal applicability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
