1Reliability
If traditional neural network and deep learning methods are used for machine learning, then learning accuracy and decision-making capability are improved, but computational resource consumption and memory requirements increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent replaces traditional neural network computational mechanisms with a cellular automaton system that uses discrete state transitions and local interaction rules. Instead of heavy matrix multiplications and gradient computations, the system uses simple cell state updates based on neighborhood configurations, dramatically reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining learning capability
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the fundamental parameters of the computational system by using discrete cell states and local update rules instead of continuous weights and global optimization. The cellular automaton uses simple state transition functions that operate locally on individual cells based on their neighbors, replacing the computationally intensive global parameter updates of neural networks
2Reliability
If large amounts of training data are processed using traditional methods, then model performance is improved, but data storage requirements and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The cellular automaton system performs self-organization and self-learning through local interactions without requiring external training data processing. The system automatically adapts to patterns in the environment through its inherent parallel computation and state transition mechanisms, eliminating the need for separate training phases and large data storage
3Speed
If real-time computational requirements are met using traditional algorithms, then decision-making speed is improved, but energy consumption and computational complexity increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the computational system into discrete cellular units that operate independently and in parallel. Each cell processes information locally based on its neighborhood, allowing the system to achieve real-time computation through distributed parallel processing rather than sequential centralized computation, reducing overall computational complexity
Solution Approach 2:
The cellular automaton system uses dynamic state transitions that adapt to changing environmental conditions in real-time. The local update rules allow the system to respond dynamically to new information without requiring complex re-computation of the entire system state, enabling fast decision-making with low computational overhead
