Solution Overview

Problem

Users in domains such as healthcare and autonomous driving face challenges in deploying state-of-the-art machine learning solutions due to resource and time constraints, particularly in training reinforcement learning models without sufficient knowledge or access to data.

Innovation Solution

A networked machine learning service that integrates reinforcement learning model training and simulation within a single environment or decouples them for independent scaling, allowing users to access pre-configured resources and simulators, and dynamically identifies training parameters based on previous models to expedite the generation of new models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If reinforcement learning models are trained from scratch with extensive data and resources, then model accuracy and performance are improved, but training time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training reinforcement learning models using extensive training data and resources before they are needed. Trained models are stored in a model store and can be dynamically selected and deployed when required, eliminating the need for users to perform time-consuming training from scratch while maintaining high model accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates copies of trained reinforcement learning models and stores them in a model store. When a user needs a model, the system can dynamically select and deploy a pre-existing model copy rather than training a new one, significantly reducing training time while preserving the accuracy achieved during pre-training.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If reinforcement learning models are trained with extensive training data and resources, then model performance is improved, but resource consumption and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performanceVSAvoidresource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs resource-intensive model training in advance during off-peak hours or when resources are more readily available. The trained models are then stored and can be deployed without requiring the same level of resource consumption at deployment time, separating the high-resource training phase from the lower-resource deployment phase.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of repeatedly training models with extensive resources each time they are needed, the system creates model copies through pre-training and storage. Multiple users can deploy from the same pre-trained model copies, amortizing the resource consumption across multiple deployments and reducing overall resource requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If users deploy state-of-the-art machine learning solutions with sophisticated modeling and training, then analysis accuracy is improved, but device complexity and expertise requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs self-service by automatically selecting appropriate pre-trained models from the model store based on the user's needs and requirements. The model deployment component handles model selection, configuration, and deployment without requiring users to understand the complex modeling and training processes, thereby maintaining high analysis accuracy while reducing system complexity for the user.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The model deployment component acts as an intermediary between the user and the complex reinforcement learning model training and selection processes. It translates user requirements into appropriate model selections from the model store, shielding users from the complexity of sophisticated modeling while delivering accurate analysis results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If reinforcement learning models are trained dynamically based on real-time data, then model adaptability is improved, but training time and response time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel adaptabilityVSAvoidresponse time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSSpeed

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training models with diverse training data that covers various scenarios and conditions. These pre-trained models are stored and can be dynamically selected based on real-time requirements, providing adaptability without requiring time-consuming retraining when responses are needed quickly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
