Solution Overview

Problem

Deep learning models for image recognition face limitations in performance and precision due to incorrect information learning and lack of universality, particularly in feature extraction and processing, where features are not accurately related to real values and exhibit identical processing for training samples.

Innovation Solution

A deep learning model incorporating a determination layer to identify features at positions of attention within feature maps, with different weights assigned for attention and other features, enabling focused processing and improved recognition results through a compositing layer and fully-connected layer configuration.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If deep learning model performs identical processing on all training samples, then training process is simple, but model performance and precision are limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining efficiencyVSAvoidrecognition precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by differentiating the processing weights for different spatial regions in feature maps. Specifically, features corresponding to positions where attention objects are located are assigned different weights compared to other features. This allows the model to perform targeted processing on relevant regions while maintaining overall training efficiency, thereby improving recognition precision without sacrificing productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Device complexity

If deep learning model extracts features without position awareness, then feature extraction is simple, but extracted features are not related to real values

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeature extraction complexityVSAvoidposition information loss
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces position awareness into feature extraction by assigning different weights to features based on their spatial positions in the feature maps. The determination layer identifies positions where attention objects are located, and the compositing layer applies corresponding weights to features at these positions. This preserves position information and ensures extracted features are related to real values without significantly increasing extraction complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The training apparatus calculates attention loss based on the output of the determination layer and uses back propagation to adjust model parameters. This feedback mechanism ensures that position information is properly integrated into the feature extraction process, maintaining the relationship between extracted features and real values while managing complexity through iterative optimization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Adaptability or versatility

If deep learning model does not focus on attention features, then processing is uniform, but model lacks universality and learns incorrect information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel universalityVSAvoidprocessing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent enhances model universality by enabling it to focus on attention features through differentiated weight processing. The determination layer identifies which features correspond to attention objects, and the compositing layer applies appropriate weights to these features. This allows the model to adapt to different scenarios and learn correct information patterns without requiring overly complex processing mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes processing parameters dynamically based on feature importance. By adjusting weights according to whether features correspond to attention object positions or not, the model can adapt to various training scenarios and improve its universality. The training process optimizes these weight parameters through back propagation, balancing processing complexity with model adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
