Solution Overview

Problem

Existing machine learning model architectures are large and require vast amounts of training data and computational resources, making them inefficient for personalized tasks.

Innovation Solution

The method involves generating personalized model adapters by mixing pre-trained model adapters using a smaller set of enrollment data, rather than training new adapters from scratch, thereby reducing computational expense and data requirements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning models are trained from scratch using vast amounts of training data, then model accuracy and reliability are improved, but computational expense and data requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training multiple adapters on different datasets before deployment. These pre-trained adapters are then combined using enrollment data to create a personalized model without requiring extensive training from scratch, thus reducing computational expense while maintaining accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges multiple pre-trained adapters into a single personalized adapter by combining their parameters weighted by similarity scores. This merging process allows the system to leverage knowledge from multiple sources without retraining from scratch, reducing computational requirements while improving reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Reliability

If machine learning models are trained from scratch using vast amounts of training data, then model accuracy and reliability are improved, but data requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiddata requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-training adapters on diverse datasets beforehand. During personalization, only a small enrollment dataset is needed to determine adapter combinations, dramatically reducing the data requirement at deployment while maintaining model accuracy through the pre-acquired knowledge in the adapters

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates copies of adapter parameters from pre-trained models and combines them to form the personalized model. This copying approach allows the system to reuse proven adapter configurations without requiring extensive new training data, thus reducing data requirements while preserving accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Productivity

If pre-trained model adapters are mixed using a smaller set of enrollment data, then computational expense and data requirements are reduced, but model personalization effectiveness must be maintained

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveefficiencyVSAvoidpersonalization effectiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback by calculating similarity scores between the enrollment data and each pre-trained adapter, then using these scores to weight the contribution of each adapter to the final personalized model. This feedback mechanism ensures that the most relevant adapters are prioritized, maintaining personalization effectiveness while improving efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by adjusting the weights of adapter parameters based on similarity scores. This parameter adjustment allows the model to adapt to the specific user's preferences and behavior patterns from the enrollment data, maintaining personalization effectiveness while using only a small dataset for efficient computation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
