Solution Overview

Problem

Feature quantization algorithms face challenges in guaranteeing performance when labeling information is scarce, particularly in specific target data domains, leading to inadequate feature quantization codes and increased computational complexity.

Innovation Solution

A method for training a feature quantization model that decomposes feature information from multiple source data domains to extract common and domain-specific features, using abundant labeling information from relevant source domains to create a common feature quantization model that can improve performance in data domains with inadequate labeling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Speed

If feature quantization is performed using traditional algorithms, then computational speed is improved, but performance accuracy deteriorates when labeling information is scarce

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecomputational speedVSAvoidquantization performance
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training a common feature quantization model using abundant labeling information from multiple source data domains before deploying it to target domains with scarce labels. This pre-training phase prepares the model in advance to handle label-scarce scenarios, allowing fast inference without requiring extensive label-specific training when deployed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal common feature quantization model that can be applied across multiple different data domains (image, text, audio, etc.) despite their differences. The model learns domain-agnostic feature representations that generalize well to various target domains, making it multi-functional rather than domain-specific.

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

2Reliability

If domain-specific feature quantization models are trained separately for each target domain, then performance accuracy is improved, but storage and computational complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedomain-specific performanceVSAvoidmodel storage and computation
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments feature information into two distinct components: common features that are shared across all domains and domain-specific features that are unique to each target domain. This segmentation allows the system to use a single common model for most tasks while only training lightweight domain-specific adapters when needed, reducing overall complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the common feature quantization model with domain-specific feature quantization models by combining their outputs. The common model provides general feature representations while domain-specific models add specialized knowledge, and their combined output achieves high performance without requiring separate full-scale models for each domain.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Speed

If feature information is processed without decomposition, then processing speed is maintained, but the ability to leverage common patterns across domains is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidcommon feature patterns
Core Design Contradiction:
SpeedVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts common feature patterns from multiple source data domains by processing feature information through the common feature quantization model. This extraction process identifies and isolates domain-agnostic representations that can be reused across different target domains, preventing loss of valuable shared information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)
