Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual annotation is used to train the definition recognition model, then the model can be trained with labeled data, but the time cost and labor cost are very high, limiting the data set size

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedefinition recognition accuracyVSAvoidtime cost of manual annotation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies unsupervised pre-training before supervised training. The feature extraction network is first pre-trained on a large corpus of unlabeled images to learn general visual features, then fine-tuned on a smaller set of manually annotated definition recognition data. This preliminary unsupervised training enables the model to leverage large amounts of unlabeled data, significantly reducing the time and labor costs associated with manual annotation while maintaining high definition recognition accuracy.
