Solution Overview

Problem

Existing hybrid model creation methods combine all AI models, including redundant ones that are not complementary, leading to reduced accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method that pools multiple AI models, selects and combines two or more models to create hybrid model candidates, and chooses the most accurate candidate based on comparison, excluding models with low prediction accuracy or strong correlations.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Quantity of substance

If all AI models are combined to create a hybrid model, then the number of models used increases, but prediction accuracy decreases due to inclusion of redundant models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of modelsVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and removes redundant models from the pool of AI models before creating the hybrid model. By calculating similarity between models and identifying those with high similarity ratios, the system extracts only the necessary complementary models, thereby maintaining high prediction accuracy while reducing the number of models used in the final hybrid model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If redundant models are included in the hybrid model, then more models are available for prediction, but the model combination becomes less efficient and accuracy is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel availabilityVSAvoidprediction efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the parameter of model selection by introducing similarity calculation and threshold-based filtering. Instead of using all available models, the system calculates similarity metrics between models and applies parameter thresholds to select only those models that meet the complementary criteria, thereby improving prediction efficiency while maintaining adaptability through careful model selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Adaptability or versatility

If all models are used without selection, then model coverage is maximized, but computational resources are wasted on processing redundant models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel coverageVSAvoidcomputational resource usage
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by calculating similarity between models and identifying redundant models before the actual hybrid model creation process. This preliminary filtering step prevents unnecessary computational resources from being wasted on processing redundant models during the main prediction task, while still maintaining comprehensive model coverage through the systematic selection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

First, a plurality of models that predict categories of input data are pooled. At least one of the plurality of models is a model trained by machine learning. Next, each of a plurality of hybrid model candidates that judge the categories are created by selecting and combining two or more models from among the plurality of pooled models. Then, by comparing the plurality of hybrid model candidates, one of the plurality of hybrid model candidates is selected as a hybrid model.
