Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If machine learning training is implemented in cognitive autonomous networks, then the network can support specific use cases with customized training features, but the system lacks standardized means to manage and control training processes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecustomization for specific use casesVSAvoidmanagement and control complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal management framework that handles diverse machine learning training requests through standardized interfaces. The system provides common functionalities for job submission, status monitoring, and result retrieval that work across different use cases and model types, reducing management complexity while maintaining adaptability.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system manages training complexity by parameterizing training jobs with configurable attributes such as model type, training data, hyperparameters, and resource allocation. This allows flexible customization for specific use cases while maintaining standardized control mechanisms through consistent parameter management.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Productivity

If standardized management interfaces are implemented, then training processes can be controlled efficiently, but the system may lack flexibility for specific training requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining management efficiencyVSAvoidflexibility for specific requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The standardized management interfaces are designed to be multi-functional, handling various training scenarios through a unified API. The system can submit different types of training jobs (classification, regression, clustering), monitor diverse model training processes, and retrieve various output formats, maintaining both efficiency and flexibility.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The management system dynamically adapts to specific training requirements while maintaining standardized interfaces. It can adjust resource allocation, modify training parameters, and scale computing resources based on the specific needs of each training job, ensuring flexibility without compromising management efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Adaptability or versatility

If multiple training jobs are instantiated simultaneously, then more use cases can be supported, but resource management and job coordination become more complex

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvenumber of supported use casesVSAvoidjob coordination complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a management system as an intermediary between training job submissions and actual training execution. This mediator handles job queuing, resource allocation, and coordination, allowing multiple training jobs to run simultaneously while simplifying the complexity of job management and resource coordination.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
