Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If existing neural network architectures are used with fixed interconnectivity between layers, then the architecture is simple and easy to implement, but the performance is suboptimal and the model cannot adapt to different applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies dynamics by making the neural network architecture adaptive and configurable rather than fixed. The system allows dynamic selection of activation functions, pooling operations, and layer connections based on application requirements. This enables the same base architecture to be customized for different tasks like image processing, speech recognition, and exposure detection without requiring separate fixed architectures for each application.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements parameter changes by allowing modification of architectural parameters such as the number of layers, types of activation functions, pooling strategies, and connection patterns. These parameters can be adjusted based on application-specific data characteristics and performance requirements, enabling optimization for different domains while maintaining a unified architecture framework.
2Measurement precision
If communication between non-adjacent layers is restricted, then the network structure is simple, but prediction accuracy is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by organizing the neural network into modular layers with distinct functions (convolutional layers, pooling layers, activation layers). Each layer can be independently configured and connected to non-adjacent layers as needed. This modular segmentation allows flexible communication patterns between layers while maintaining structural organization and ease of implementation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements another dimension by introducing skip connections and direct pathways that allow information flow between non-adjacent layers in the vertical dimension of the network architecture. This enables long-range dependencies to be captured without increasing the horizontal complexity of layer-by-layer processing, thereby improving prediction accuracy while maintaining manageable interconnectivity complexity.
3Productivity
If custom transformation functions are applied to each layer, then the model can be optimized for specific applications, but the computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by designing a framework where a single set of custom transformation functions can serve multiple applications through configurable layer arrangements. The same activation functions and pooling operations can be reused across different applications by adjusting which layers use which functions, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining application-specific optimization.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements local quality by allowing different transformation functions to be applied to different layers based on their specific roles and requirements. Rather than applying the same complex transformation uniformly across all layers, the system selectively applies appropriate functions to each layer, optimizing computational efficiency while maintaining customization for specific application needs.
