Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional reinforcement training model is used to continuously train CogBot, then CogBot performance and adaptation to changing environment is improved, but training cost and time consumption increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCogBot adaptation to changing environmentVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the CogBot's current responses are evaluated against dialogue benchmarks, and shift decisions are made based on the difference between current and target benchmarks. This feedback loop enables targeted retraining only when necessary, reducing unnecessary training iterations and associated time costs while maintaining adaptation capability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces shift decision scores and shift probability thresholds as dynamic parameters that control when retraining should occur. By monitoring these parameters and only triggering retraining when the shift decision score exceeds the threshold, the system optimizes the balance between maintaining adaptability and reducing training time consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If conventional reinforcement training model is used to continuously train CogBot, then CogBot performance and adaptation to changing environment is improved, but training cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveCogBot adaptation to changing environmentVSAvoidtraining cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation framework provides feedback on whether current CogBot responses meet dialogue benchmarks, enabling cost-effective retraining decisions. By only initiating retraining when benchmark gaps are detected, the system avoids wasteful training expenditures while maintaining necessary adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses shift probability thresholds and shift decision scores as cost-control parameters. These parameters enable the system to quantify when retraining is necessary versus when current performance is sufficient, thereby optimizing training cost while preserving adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Manufacturing precision

If CogBot makes incorrect or missing shifts in response decisions, then dialogue benchmark improvement is reduced, but resource use increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedialogue benchmark improvementVSAvoidresource use
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback through dialogue benchmark evaluation that identifies specific areas where CogBot responses deviate from optimal performance. This feedback enables precise targeting of retraining efforts, ensuring resources are allocated efficiently to correct specific deficiencies rather than进行全面 retraining

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary evaluation of CogBot responses against dialogue benchmarks before initiating retraining. By identifying missing or incorrect shifts in advance through the shift decision framework, the system prepares targeted retraining strategies that improve dialogue benchmark efficiency while reducing unnecessary resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

The continual retraining of Cognitive Bots (“CogBots”) allows for the adaptation and evolution to ever changing environments. In this retraining process a CogBot response model continually searches the response space for potential responses in which it may shift. An approach for optimizing such retraining of CogBots may be presented herein. The approach may include receiving a prompt at a CogBot retraining framework. The approach may include analyzing the prompt and determining potential responses to the prompt. The approach may include generating a dialogue benchmark for each of the potential responses. The approach may further include generating a decision shift score for the prompt. Further, the approach may additionally include updating the CogBot retraining framework based on the generated decision shift score.
