Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If human expertise is used to tune convolutional neural networks, then the network can be configured with domain knowledge, but human bias is introduced into the design
Solution Approach 1:
The system uses genetic algorithms to enable the neural network to automatically generate and optimize its own convolutional tools without human intervention. The evolutionary process allows the network to self-tune by selecting and combining basic mathematical operations based on performance feedback, eliminating human bias while maintaining high classification accuracy through automated optimization.
2Device complexity
If pre-defined algorithms are used for convolution operations, then the network structure is simplified, but the network requires manual tuning and domain expertise
Solution Approach 1:
The genetic algorithm automatically generates convolutional tools by evolving combinations of basic mathematical operations, eliminating the need for manual configuration by domain experts. The system self-optimizes the network structure by selecting tools that perform best on training data, making the network easier to operate while maintaining appropriate complexity for the task.
Solution Approach 2:
The convolutional tools are broken down into basic mathematical operations (addition, multiplication, convolution, etc.) that can be independently selected and combined. This segmentation allows the genetic algorithm to evolve complex convolutional operations from simple, modular components, reducing the need for manual design of entire convolutional layers.
3Object-generated harmful factors
If genetic algorithms are used to generate tools automatically, then human bias is eliminated, but computational resources and time are increased
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-defines a library of basic mathematical operations that serve as building blocks for convolutional tools. By having these fundamental operations prepared in advance, the genetic algorithm only needs to evolve combinations rather than create operations from scratch, significantly reducing the computational time and resources required while still eliminating human bias.
4Adaptability or versatility
If genetic algorithms evolve convolutional tools, then applicability to various data sources is improved, but device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The genetic algorithm generates convolutional tools using a universal set of basic mathematical operations that can be applied to any data type. The same evolutionary framework and operation library can process images, audio, text, or other data sources, making the system highly adaptable without requiring data-specific customization, thus improving versatility while managing complexity through reusability.

AI summary
Methods for genetic generation of tools for use in a convolutional neural network are provided. Randomly generated starting points and sets of positive and negative tasks are distributed to multiple processors. Each processor iterates an instruction queue over its received tasks based on existing analysis tools, generating a test score for each iteration. A set of instructions is saved as a new tool if its generated test score determines a successful test. A convolutional neural network is executed over complex test cases based on a tool set that includes the new tools. Output results of the convolutional neural network are analyzed and a new tool set is created by removing tools that are not utilized in generating the output results. Systems and machine-readable media are also provided.
