Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a convolutional neural network (CNN) model is used for classification, then the model can process grid structure data effectively, but the classification effect deteriorates for compound feature data that does not have a grid structure
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the fundamental parameter of data structure representation from grid-based to graph-based. By representing molecular structures as graphs with nodes for atoms and edges for bonds, the model adapts to non-grid structure data while maintaining high classification accuracy for compound properties.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces the mechanical grid-based processing system with a graph-based system. Instead of using CNNs that rely on grid structures, the invention uses graph neural networks that can naturally process the irregular, non-grid structure of molecular data, thereby resolving the adaptability issue.
2Adaptability or versatility
If graph data structures are used to represent compound features, then the adaptability to non-grid structure data is improved, but the model complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the graph neural network into distinct functional modules: graph construction module, graph neural network module, and property prediction module. This segmentation reduces model complexity by making each module independently designable and optimizable, while maintaining the adaptability benefits of graph-based representation.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a graph representation layer as an intermediary between the molecular structure input and the property prediction output. This intermediary layer simplifies the overall model by providing a standardized graph format that bridges the raw molecular data and the classification task, reducing direct model complexity.
