VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a machine learning model is used to optimize an optimization target model by incorporating statistical knowledge, then optimization accuracy is improved, but computational amount increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts only the necessary input/output pairs from the complex machine learning model and uses these extracted pairs for optimization. This approach separates the statistical knowledge extraction function from the optimization function, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

Instead of using the full machine learning model during optimization, the patent creates simplified copies in the form of pre-computed input/output pairs. These pairs capture the essential statistical relationships without the computational complexity of the original model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
