Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a capable machine learning model is used to detect hundreds of different types of objects or behaviors, then the model's capability and accuracy are improved, but the computational resources required increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the machine learning model into a base model that handles common tasks and multiple specialized models that handle specific tasks. This segmentation allows the system to use computational resources efficiently by only loading and executing the specialized models when needed, rather than running a large comprehensive model continuously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements dynamic model loading and unloading based on detected tasks. The system dynamically adjusts which models are active in memory according to the current detection needs, transitioning between different model states to optimize the balance between capability and resource consumption.
2Adaptability or versatility
If a comprehensive machine learning model is deployed to handle multiple tasks, then task coverage is improved, but resource consumption increases unnecessarily for specific narrow tasks
Solution Approach 1:
The patent divides the model into a base model for common tasks and multiple specialized models for specific tasks. This segmentation enables the system to lose only the necessary computational resources when a specialized model is not needed, rather than maintaining a comprehensive model continuously.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent extracts and removes unnecessary model components when they are not needed for the current task. By taking out unused specialized models from memory and computational context, the system reduces resource consumption while maintaining the ability to load them when required.
3Measurement precision
If a large machine learning model is used for specific narrow tasks, then accuracy is maintained, but computational efficiency deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the model into a base model and specialized models, allowing the system to use a smaller specialized model for narrow tasks rather than a large comprehensive model. This segmentation maintains accuracy for specific tasks while improving computational efficiency by reducing the model size actively used for detection.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses smaller specialized models that are cheaper and more efficient for specific tasks, loading them only when needed and unloading them afterward. These specialized models act as disposable computational resources that provide high efficiency for their intended purpose without the overhead of maintaining a large comprehensive model.
