Solution Overview

Problem

Existing classification systems using deep learning struggle with misrecognition issues, lack of transparency in recognition results, and the inability to systematically explain the reasoning behind classifications, limiting their practical utility and necessitating compensation for errors.

Innovation Solution

A classification system that learns not only correct classes but also attributes, incorporating a verification mechanism to check against a class-specific attribute database, allowing for systematic explanation of classifications and estimation of unseen classes through parallel classification means.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning classification systems are used to improve recognition accuracy, then classification accuracy is improved, but the system cannot provide transparent explanation of recognition grounds and is prone to misrecognition

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification accuracyVSAvoidloss of recognition grounds information
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the classification system into multiple independent classification means (first classification means and second classification means), each trained with different training data. This segmentation allows the system to process information through multiple pathways and aggregate results, thereby maintaining accuracy while reducing the risk of misrecognition and providing more robust classification grounds.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the results from multiple classification means by aggregating their output values. The aggregation process combines the strengths of different classification approaches, producing a final classification result that is more accurate and reliable than any single classification means alone, while also providing comprehensive grounds for the classification decision.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Productivity

If deep learning systems process large amounts of data to improve classification performance, then classification performance is improved, but the systems lack the ability to systematically explain classification reasoning

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveclassification performanceVSAvoidexplanation capability
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where classification results from multiple classification means are aggregated and used to determine the final classification. This feedback loop allows the system to systematically evaluate and combine results, providing transparent grounds for classification decisions while maintaining high performance through comprehensive data processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If single classification means are used to simplify the system, then device complexity is reduced, but misrecognition occurs and user accountability is compromised

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidclassification reliability
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent employs multiple classification means as a form of prior cushioning against misrecognition. By having redundant classification pathways trained on different data, the system creates a buffer that protects against errors from any single classification means, thereby improving reliability without requiring overly complex integration mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #11Beforehand cushioning (Prior cushioning)

AI summary

A classification system includes classification training data-specific classification data correct attribute setting configured to set not only the correct classes of pieces of classification training data but also the correct attributes of the pieces of classification training data and classification/attribute training configured to train classification by comparing the class/attribute estimation result outputs with the correct classes set by correct class setting and comparing the attribute estimation result outputs with the correct attributes set by the classification training data-specific classification training data correct attribute setting. Pieces of classification target data from classification target data acquisition are newly inputted to the trained classification means. Classification/attribute result output outputs both the classification results and attribute results of the pieces of classification target data so that validity of the classification results can be considered.
