Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If extended time series data is obtained through direct measurement of physical systems, then data accuracy is improved, but measurement complexity and cost increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates synthetic copies of time series data by training a foundational model on available measurement data and using it to generate additional training samples. This copying approach provides accurate training data without requiring complex extended measurements of the actual physical system.
2Reliability
If more extended time series data is collected for training, then model prediction accuracy is improved, but data acquisition time and resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-training a foundational model on available data before it is needed for specific prediction tasks. This pre-training creates a reusable model that can be quickly adapted to various downstream tasks without requiring extensive data collection each time predictions are needed.
Solution Approach 2:
The foundational model generates synthetic copies of time series data that can be used for training task-specific models. This eliminates the need to collect extensive additional data for each prediction task, significantly reducing data acquisition time while maintaining prediction accuracy.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a general foundational model is trained on diverse data, then model versatility is improved, but training data requirements and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent creates a universal foundational model that can serve multiple downstream prediction tasks across different physical systems. This single model replaces the need for separate models for each task, achieving versatility while managing training data requirements through efficient pre-training on diverse but relevant time series data.
