Solution Overview

Problem

Training a machine learning model with a large dataset can increase computational load and extend training time, and the selection of data samples affects prediction accuracy, with existing methods failing to efficiently narrow down relevant samples for improved accuracy.

Innovation Solution

A method involving an information processing apparatus that extracts features from input data, normalizes them, and selects a subset of data samples based on these normalized features using principal component analysis to reduce the dataset size and improve prediction accuracy, specifically by using a graph neural network to update node features based on neighboring nodes and selecting samples that are dissimilar to others.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a large dataset is used to train the machine learning model, then prediction accuracy is improved, but computational load and training time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and selects only the most relevant data samples from the large dataset for training. By using feature extraction and normalization followed by selective sampling, the system identifies and trains on the subset of data that provides the highest prediction accuracy, thereby reducing training time while maintaining or improving accuracy compared to using all data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies parameter changes through feature normalization, transforming the data into a standardized format where features have zero mean and unit variance. This parameter transformation enables more efficient training by improving convergence speed and allowing the use of smaller, normalized datasets without sacrificing prediction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If all data samples are used for training, then comprehensive information is captured, but computational resources are wasted on irrelevant samples

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidcomputational load
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the essential information needed for training by selecting a representative subset of data samples. Through feature extraction and normalization, it identifies the most informative samples that capture the key patterns, eliminating redundant computational processing on irrelevant or duplicate samples

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the large dataset into smaller, manageable subsets based on feature similarity and representativeness. By dividing the data into meaningful groups and selecting samples from each segment, the system reduces computational load while ensuring comprehensive coverage of the data distribution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
