Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If deep neural networks are used to customize kernel machines, then classification performance and generalization are improved, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent merges deep neural networks with kernel machines by integrating DNN layers into the kernel machine architecture. The DNN components process data through multiple non-linear transformations while the kernel machine handles the classification task, creating a hybrid system that leverages the strengths of both approaches to achieve superior performance without excessive computational burden
Solution Approach 2:
The patent segments the customization process into distinct stages: data representation stage and model learning stage. By separating these functions and allowing end-to-end learning, the system optimizes each component independently while maintaining overall efficiency, reducing the computational complexity burden
2Adaptability or versatility
If data representation and model learning stages are decoupled, then customization flexibility is improved, but performance on limited datasets deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements end-to-end learning with feedback mechanisms that allow the model to learn from the actual performance on limited datasets. The loss function provides feedback signals that propagate through the network, enabling the data representation and model learning stages to co-optimize their parameters, thereby improving performance despite the decoupled architecture
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes through the use of learnable parameters in the DNN layers and kernel machine components. By optimizing these parameters end-to-end on the specific dataset, the system adapts to the limitations of small datasets and achieves better performance while maintaining customization flexibility
3Productivity
If conventional kernel methods are used, then computational efficiency is maintained, but classification performance on complex dependencies deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent substitutes the traditional mechanical kernel computation with deep neural network-based processing. By replacing conventional kernel methods with DNN layers that perform non-linear transformations, the system achieves superior performance on complex dependencies while maintaining computational efficiency through optimized network architectures and training strategies
