Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If deep learning is applied to fields with limited data availability, then the applicability of deep learning is restricted, but the requirement for abundant data cannot be met

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveapplicability of deep learningVSAvoiddata amount
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent generates synthetic data that copies and transforms existing data patterns through learned transformations. The system creates artificial data pairs by applying transformation functions to source data, effectively copying the essential characteristics while generating new variations that expand the available data quantity without requiring additional real-world data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters and characteristics of existing data through learned transformation functions. By modifying data parameters (such as spatial transformations, color adjustments, or feature transformations), the system generates diverse data variations from limited original data, thereby increasing the effective data amount while maintaining the underlying data distribution patterns

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Quantity of substance

If transformation function is learned from very small data amount, then data overfitting problem occurs, but training on sufficient data is not possible

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining data amountVSAvoiddata overfitting problem
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system incorporates feedback mechanisms where the learned transformation functions are continuously evaluated and refined. The generated synthetic data is fed back into the training process to improve the transformation functions, creating an iterative cycle that prevents overfitting by constantly adjusting and validating the learned parameters against the limited available data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing and preparing the limited available data in advance. It extracts meaningful features and patterns from the small dataset before generating synthetic data, ensuring that the transformation functions are learned from the most informative aspects of the data, thereby reducing overfitting risks

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Productivity

If existing deep learning methods are used without data generation capability, then task performance is limited by data availability, but adding data generation increases system complexity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetask performanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the data generation capability with the existing deep learning task processing system. The transformation function learning module and data generation components are integrated into the same system architecture, allowing the system to both generate synthetic data and perform deep learning tasks using a unified framework, thereby improving productivity without proportionally increasing complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system achieves multi-functionality by enabling a single system to perform multiple operations: learning transformation functions from data, generating synthetic data pairs, and executing deep learning tasks. This universal design allows the same infrastructure to serve both data augmentation and task execution purposes, improving overall productivity while managing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
