Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If different modality encoders are trained simultaneously with unified optimization, then multi-modal data processing capability is improved, but training efficiency deteriorates due to conflicting optimization directions

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into separate optimization stages for different encoders (text encoder, image encoder, hybrid encoder). Each encoder is trained independently with its own loss function and optimization parameters, avoiding conflicting gradient updates. This segmentation resolves the contradiction by maintaining multi-modal processing capability while eliminating training inefficiency caused by unified optimization of conflicting modalities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training each encoder separately before integrating them into the hybrid model. The text encoder and image encoder are first trained independently on their respective modalities, then combined into the hybrid encoder. This preliminary separate training ensures each encoder reaches optimal performance before integration, resolving the training efficiency problem while preserving multi-modal adaptability.

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSManufacturing precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the optimization process by assigning separate loss functions and training parameters to each encoder type. The text encoder uses text-specific loss, the image encoder uses image-specific loss, and the hybrid encoder uses combined loss. This segmentation prevents conflicting optimization directions from degrading network precision while maintaining comprehensive data processing capability.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by giving each encoder its own specialized optimization parameters and loss functions tailored to its specific modality. The text encoder receives text-specific training parameters, the image encoder receives image-specific parameters, and the hybrid encoder receives combined parameters. This localized optimization ensures maximum precision for each encoder's specific function while maintaining overall comprehensive processing capability.

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into independent optimization loops for each encoder, allowing simultaneous training of text, image, and hybrid encoders without interference. Each encoder trains at its own optimal pace with its own loss function, dramatically improving convergence speed while maintaining reasonable process organization through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies dynamics by making the training process adaptive and flexible, where each encoder can be trained with its own dynamic parameters and learning rates. The system can adjust training parameters independently for each encoder based on its specific convergence characteristics, accelerating overall convergence speed while maintaining manageable process complexity through automated parameter adjustment.
