Solution Overview

Problem

Deep learning models, particularly Transformers, are limited by their reliance on embedding and positional encoding layers, which are computationally intensive and memory-inefficient, especially for large-scale models, and lack flexibility in handling diverse data types beyond language.

Innovation Solution

A compound large codeword model using Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Transformers, which removes embedding and positional encoding layers, processes data through a codeword allocator, codebook generation, and latent transformer architecture to capture patterns in diverse data modalities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If embedding and positional encoding layers are used in Transformer architecture, then the model can process language data effectively, but computational complexity and memory usage increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelanguage processing capabilityVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes the embedding layer and positional encoding layer from the traditional Transformer architecture. By taking out these computationally intensive components, the model achieves significant reduction in computational complexity and memory usage while maintaining language processing capability through alternative mechanisms in the codebook-based architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Reliability

If dense vector representations are used in Transformer models, then the model can capture language patterns, but memory efficiency deteriorates especially for large-scale models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepattern capture capabilityVSAvoidmemory usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter representation from continuous dense vectors to discrete codewords from a codebook. This parameter change enables more efficient memory utilization through sparse representations and quantization, reducing the quantity of substance (memory usage) while maintaining the ability to capture patterns in language data.

Inventive Principle:

3Reliability

If traditional Transformer architecture is used, then the model can process text data, but flexibility in handling diverse data types beyond language is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext processing capabilityVSAvoiddata type flexibility
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal codebook-based architecture that can handle multiple data types including text, images, audio, and sensor data through a unified framework. The codebook allocator and latent transformer subsystems are designed to process diverse modalities flexibly, enabling the model to adapt to various data types beyond language while maintaining text processing capability.
