Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If deep learning models with large numbers of parameters are used, then description capability and model performance are improved, but the requirement for massive labeled training data increases, leading to higher annotation cost and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performanceVSAvoiddata annotation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the Transformer model on large amounts of unlabeled data before fine-tuning on labeled data. This pre-training phase prepares the model with general language understanding capabilities, so that when labeled data becomes available, the model can quickly adapt to specific tasks without requiring extensive annotation time. The core set construction method identifies and annotates only the most informative samples for fine-tuning, significantly reducing the time required compared to annotating all available data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for training by constructing a core set of representative samples from the larger dataset. Instead of using all available labeled data, the system identifies and selects a smaller subset of core samples that capture the most important patterns and relationships. This extraction approach reduces the annotation burden while maintaining model performance, as the core set contains the most informative examples for learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Measurement precision

If more labeled data is collected to improve model accuracy, then prediction performance increases, but the labor intensity and cost of data annotation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata annotation cost
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the essential information needed for training by constructing a core set of representative samples from the larger dataset. Instead of using all available labeled data, the system identifies and selects a smaller subset of core samples that capture the most important patterns and relationships. This extraction approach reduces the annotation burden while maintaining model performance, as the core set contains the most informative examples for learning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses copying by leveraging the pre-trained model's knowledge to generate synthetic training data or to transfer learned representations to new tasks. The pre-trained Transformer model can generate pseudo-labeled data that mimics the patterns of real labeled data, providing a cost-effective alternative to manual annotation. This copying approach allows the system to obtain training data at lower cost while maintaining the quality needed for accurate predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If traditional deep learning approaches are used, then model capability is enhanced, but the coupling between tasks and data increases, requiring task-specific data for each new application

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask adaptabilityVSAvoiddata requirement complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by training a single Transformer model on diverse, unlabeled data from multiple domains and tasks. This pre-trained model serves as a universal foundation that can be adapted to various specific tasks through fine-tuning on domain-specific core sets. Instead of requiring separate models for each task, the system uses one versatile pre-trained model that can handle multiple applications, reducing the complexity of data requirements for each individual task.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training the Transformer model on large amounts of unlabeled data from diverse sources before fine-tuning on specific tasks. This pre-training phase builds a universal knowledge base that encompasses multiple domains and task types. When the model needs to be adapted to a new task, it only requires fine-tuning on the core set for that specific task, rather than requiring complete retraining or task-specific data collection from scratch.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
