Solution Overview

Problem

Existing machine learning systems for analyzing cell images fail to detect insufficient memory capacity, leading to abnormal endings without user awareness, which hinders effective training of learning models.

Innovation Solution

A memory capacity determination system and method that includes a selector to choose between training and validation modes, a determiner to assess memory sufficiency, and an informer to notify users of insufficient memory, allowing for proactive management of memory capacity during the training process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning is performed using a processor and memory without memory capacity validation, then training can proceed without interruption, but the system cannot detect insufficient memory capacity leading to abnormal endings

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection accuracy of memory insufficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by executing validation mode training processes before actual training to detect potential memory capacity insufficiency. The system performs a preliminary check by running validation mode that validates memory capacity requirements, allowing users to identify and address insufficient memory capacity before initiating full training, thereby preventing abnormal endings during training.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary validation mode that acts as a mediator between system configuration and training execution. This validation mode serves as an intermediate step that assesses memory capacity requirements without performing full training, providing users with memory capacity information before actual training begins.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If validation mode is added to detect memory capacity insufficiency, then users can grasp insufficient memory capacity, but the operation process becomes more complex with mode selection

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser ability to grasp memory capacity statusVSAvoidoperational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by designing a training process that can operate in multiple modes (validation mode and training mode) using the same basic framework. The system provides multi-functionality where the same processing flow can validate memory capacity or perform actual training depending on the selected mode, reducing the need for separate dedicated validation systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by providing users with memory capacity determination results through the validation mode. The system feeds back information about whether memory capacity is sufficient or insufficient, allowing users to adjust their system configuration or understanding before proceeding with training, thereby improving ease of operation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If memory capacity validation is performed before training, then abnormal endings can be prevented, but training time is increased due to additional validation processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprevention of abnormal training endingsVSAvoidtotal training time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial action by having the validation mode perform only the necessary memory capacity validation steps without executing the complete training process. The validation mode performs a simplified version of training processes sufficient to detect memory capacity issues, avoiding the time cost of full training while still preventing abnormal endings.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
