Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If only positive training data is used for model learning, then the learning process is simple, but misidentification occurs and accuracy decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesimplicity of learning processVSAvoidintention identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary anti-action by generating negative training data that pre-counters potential misidentification errors. The system proactively creates counter-examples (negative data) that represent cases where misidentification might occur, allowing the model to learn from these counter-examples before actual deployment. This prevents misidentification by preparing the model in advance with contrasting examples that highlight the boundaries between different intentions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

2Quantity of substance

If training data is insufficient or inaccurate, then data collection cost is low, but model accuracy is severely affected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequantity of training dataVSAvoidmodel accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies copying by generating synthetic negative training data through text generation models. Instead of requiring extensive manual collection of real negative examples, the system creates copies or simulations of negative cases by transforming positive examples into negative ones through controlled text generation. This allows the model to learn from a much larger and more diverse set of training examples without the high cost of manual data collection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If a single base model is used for learning, then the learning process is fast, but model accuracy is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelearning speedVSAvoidintention identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies merging by combining multiple base models into an ensemble learning system. The system trains and integrates predictions from multiple different base models (e.g., different text classification algorithms, different neural network architectures) to make a final intention identification decision. This ensemble approach leverages the strengths of different models while compensating for their individual weaknesses, achieving higher accuracy than any single model could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

4Measurement precision

If negative data is generated and similar skill training data is introduced, then model accuracy improves, but learning complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveintention identification accuracyVSAvoidlearning process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a multi-functional learning framework that handles multiple tasks simultaneously. The same ensemble learning system and negative data generation mechanism are applied across different skills and domains, making the complex system reusable and manageable. The framework can process positive and negative data, train multiple base models, and integrate them using a unified approach that works across various intention identification tasks, reducing the perceived complexity through standardized procedures.

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