Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine-learning models are continuously trained and re-trained using synthetic and historic data, then the model accuracy and adaptability to changing market conditions improve, but the computational resources and time required for training increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-training machine-learning models using synthetic data before deployment. This pre-training prepares the models in advance so that when real market data becomes available, the models can be quickly fine-tuned rather than trained from scratch, significantly reducing the time loss for continuous re-training while maintaining high accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates synthetic data copies that mimic real market conditions without requiring actual real-time data. These synthetic copies serve as proxies for expensive and time-consuming real data training, allowing the models to learn patterns and behaviors without the full computational burden of processing authentic market data continuously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Adaptability or versatility

If machine-learning models are continuously re-trained in real-time, then the adaptability to market changes improves, but the computational complexity and resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveadaptability to market changesVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The training process is segmented into distinct phases: initial training on synthetic data, periodic re-training on historic data, and real-time fine-tuning on new market data. This segmentation allows the system to maintain adaptability while managing computational complexity by not performing full re-training continuously, but rather applying computational resources strategically at appropriate intervals

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies different training qualities to different data types and time periods. Synthetic data receives intensive pre-training computational resources, while real-time market data receives lighter fine-tuning resources. This local differentiation of computational quality maintains adaptability without uniformly high computational complexity across all operations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Ease of operation

If static methodologies are used for asset portfolio management, then the system simplicity and ease of operation are maintained, but the ability to respond to changing market conditions and user preferences deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem simplicityVSAvoidresponsiveness to market changes
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The machine-learning models perform self-service by automatically adapting to new market conditions and user preferences without requiring manual system reconfiguration. The models self-train on new data and self-adjust their predictions, maintaining system simplicity from the user perspective while achieving high adaptability internally through automated continuous learning processes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

In an embodiment, a one or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media includes receiving account specifications, training a machine-learning model using training data derived from the account specifications to produce a trained machine-learning model capable of outputting a recommendation of a particular asset portfolio, determining an asset portfolio by inputting a particular account specification into the machine-learning model, determining a performance metric for the asset portfolio based on synthetic data and historic data, determining a reference performance metric based on a reference asset portfolio and the synthetic and historic data, comparing the performance metric for the asset portfolio with the reference performance metric to result in a decision of whether to re-train the machine-learning model, re-training the machine-learning model based on updated training data and the synthetic and historic data, automatically executing trades for an updated asset portfolio determined by the re-trained machine-learning model, and repeating the re-training continuously based on a specified frequency or timing.
