Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a shared model is used across multiple terminal devices, then model universality and resource efficiency are improved, but model accuracy for individual devices deteriorates when data distribution diverges significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the model optimization process into multiple phases: initial shared model deployment, followed by selective fine-tuning phases where the model is updated using device-specific data. This segmentation allows the model to maintain universality while adapting to individual device characteristics through controlled, phased updates rather than complete retraining.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies local quality by customizing the model for specific terminal devices through fine-tuning on device-specific data while maintaining the base shared model architecture. Each device receives a tailored version of the model that incorporates its unique characteristics, improving local accuracy without discarding the benefits of the shared model.
2Measurement precision
If additional training is performed on shared models, then model accuracy for individual devices is improved, but training effectiveness deteriorates when data distribution divergence is large
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary actions by first deploying a shared model that has been pre-trained on aggregated data from multiple devices. This preliminary model serves as a robust foundation that captures general patterns. Subsequent fine-tuning phases then adapt this pre-trained model to specific devices, leveraging the preliminary learning to improve accuracy while avoiding the pitfalls of training from scratch on divergent data distributions.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where performance metrics from each device are monitored and used to guide subsequent model updates. This feedback loop ensures that training effectiveness is maintained by adjusting the fine-tuning process based on actual device performance, preventing ineffective training when data distribution divergence is high.
3Measurement precision
If models are customized for each terminal device, then model accuracy and adaptability are improved, but system complexity and computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial action by performing fine-tuning only when and where necessary, rather than universally customizing models for all devices. The system determines based on data distribution characteristics whether a device requires individual customization or can use the shared model directly. This selective approach reduces overall system complexity and computational resources while maintaining high accuracy where needed.
