Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of time
If continuous retraining is performed to reduce real-time lag, then responsiveness to new data is improved, but computational costs increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary encoding of data instances into latent representations and stores them in a database before they are needed for prediction. This pre-processing action eliminates the need for continuous retraining while maintaining up-to-date knowledge of recent data patterns, thus reducing real-time lag without increasing computational costs.
Solution Approach 2:
Instead of continuously retreating the entire model, the system creates and stores encoded copies of data instances as latent representations. These copies are retrieved and used for predictions, allowing the model to respond to new data without performing computationally expensive retraining operations.

3Loss of time
If online learning is used to reduce real-time lag, then responsiveness to new data is improved, but catastrophic forgetting occurs
Solution Approach 1:
The system creates and stores encoded copies of data instances as latent representations in a database. These copies serve as a permanent record of historical data patterns, allowing the system to retrieve and utilize past information for predictions without needing to retain it in the active model, thus preventing catastrophic forgetting.
Solution Approach 2:
The system separates the functional model (which performs predictions) from the storage of historical data (latent representations in database). This segmentation allows the model to focus on current predictions while historical information is maintained separately in the database, preventing the model from forgetting past patterns.
4Measurement precision
If feature space is expanded to incorporate comprehensive features, then predictive accuracy is improved, but model complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system extracts and stores only the essential latent representations of data instances in the database, separating them from the full complexity of the original feature space. This extraction allows the system to maintain comprehensive predictive accuracy through the latent representations while reducing the complexity of the active model that needs to process and predict.

AI summary
A computer-implemented method of training an encoder neural network of an autoencoder, comprising: receiving a data stream at the autoencoder, the autoencoder comprising an encoder neural network, a decoder neural network, a first memory layer, and a second memory layer; and incrementally training the encoder neural network. The incremental training comprises: performing an encoding process on the input data by the encoder neural network to obtain a latent representation of the input data; processing the encoded input data and encoded input data stored in the first memory layer from previous iterations of the training steps to create a memory representation; performing a decoding process on the latent representation; processing the decoded input data and the updated memory representation to refine the updated memory representation; and outputting the refined memory representation to the encoder neural network for use in a next training step.
