Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If relearning is performed without evaluation of the trained models, then the model can be updated, but the precision may become lower than that of the original models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel update speedVSAvoidmodel precision
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by performing model evaluation before relearning. The evaluation unit assesses the trained model's performance using reference data and calculated index values to determine whether the model meets predetermined standards. Only models that pass evaluation proceed to relearning, preventing precision degradation while maintaining efficient update cycles.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Adaptability or versatility

If flexible evaluation in accordance with the use of the model is performed, then the evaluation accuracy improves, but the evaluation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation flexibilityVSAvoidevaluation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the evaluation process into distinct functional units: an evaluation unit that performs model assessment, a calculation unit that computes index values from input data and model outputs, and a determination unit that compares results against reference information. This segmentation enables flexible, use-specific evaluation while managing complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by calculating multiple index values (such as accuracy, precision, recall) based on different combinations of input data and model output data. The system selectively uses reference information and index values according to specific evaluation needs, allowing flexible adaptation to different model usage scenarios without requiring a completely different evaluation system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
