Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a prediction model is generated by machine learning using known formulation and characteristics as teacher data, then prediction accuracy is improved within the ranges of materials and blending amounts included in teacher data, but prediction accuracy decreases for materials not included in teacher data
Solution Approach 1:
The invention changes the approach from using fixed teacher data ranges to using interaction information that can adapt to new material combinations. By incorporating interaction terms that capture relationships between materials, the model can generalize to materials outside the original training range while maintaining accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces interaction information as an intermediary between material properties and predicted characteristics. This interaction layer acts as a mediator that captures material relationships, enabling accurate predictions for new materials by leveraging learned interaction patterns rather than relying solely on direct material property mappings.
2Adaptability or versatility
If element materials are changed to stabilize supply, reduce cost, or adjust physical properties, then material flexibility is improved, but prediction of characteristic changes becomes difficult
Solution Approach 1:
The invention implements feedback by evaluating the predicted characteristics against actual measured characteristics to calculate interaction information. This feedback loop continuously refines the model's understanding of material interactions, enabling accurate prediction of characteristic changes even when materials are substituted for supply stabilization or cost reduction.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention performs preliminary evaluation of interaction information before material substitution occurs. By pre-calculating and storing interaction characteristics for various material combinations, the system can quickly and accurately predict the impact of potential substitutions without requiring extensive trial-and-error experimentation.
3Measurement precision
If interaction between element materials is considered in prediction models, then prediction accuracy for composite material characteristics is improved, but model complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The invention segments the complex interaction evaluation into distinct components: material property evaluation, interaction information calculation, and characteristic prediction. By dividing the model into these modular segments, each handling specific aspects of material interaction, the overall model complexity is managed while maintaining high prediction accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention applies partial action by focusing interaction evaluation on the most significant material interactions rather than all possible combinations. This selective approach to interaction analysis maintains prediction accuracy for critical characteristics while reducing computational complexity by excluding less influential interactions.
