Solution Overview

Problem

The accuracy of prompt vectors determined by pre-trained models in natural language processing is inadequate due to reliance on single models, leading to one-sided and inaccurate results.

Innovation Solution

A method involving the fusion of sample data vectors with prompt vectors and inputting them into multiple pruned models to obtain scores, iteratively modifying the prompt vectors until a target prompt vector is determined, allowing for comprehensive and reliable analysis through multiple perspectives.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single pre-trained model is used to determine prompt vectors, then the process is simple and fast, but the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the prompt vector is inadequate

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single pre-trained model into multiple pruned models by segmenting the model parameters. Each pruned model is trained on different subsets of data or with different parameter selections, allowing the system to evaluate prompt vectors from multiple perspectives simultaneously, thereby improving accuracy without requiring a completely new architectural approach

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent merges the results from multiple pruned models to determine the final prompt vector. By combining the outputs or evaluations from N different pruned models, the system achieves more comprehensive and accurate prompt vector determination, resolving the contradiction between simplicity and accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

2Measurement precision

If multiple pruned models are used to evaluate prompt vectors, then the accuracy and comprehensiveness improve, but the computational resources and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of prompt vectorVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-pruning the model into N different pruned models before actual prompt vector evaluation. This preparation allows the system to efficiently evaluate multiple prompt vectors using the pre-divided model structures, reducing the computational burden during the actual evaluation phase compared to using a single full model repeatedly

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates multiple copies (pruned models) of the original pre-trained model, each optimized for different aspects of evaluation. These copies can process prompt vectors in parallel, improving throughput while maintaining accuracy, thereby reducing the effective computational resources needed per evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Measurement precision

If iterative modification of prompt vectors is performed, then the accuracy converges to target level, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the evaluation results from the N pruned models are used to iteratively modify the prompt vector. The system receives feedback about the quality of the prompt vector from multiple model perspectives and adjusts accordingly, converging to an accurate target prompt vector through systematic iterations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent makes the prompt vector determination process dynamic by allowing iterative modifications based on evaluation feedback. The system adapts the prompt vector dynamically through multiple rounds of evaluation and adjustment, converging to the optimal solution while managing processing time through efficient iteration strategies

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for determining a prompt vector of a pre-trained model, includes: obtaining a first one of prompt vectors and a first vector corresponding to sample data; obtaining N pruned models by N different pruning processing on the pre-trained model, where N is any integer greater than 1; obtaining a first score corresponding to the first one of the prompt vectors by fusing the first vector and the first one of the prompt vectors and inputting the fused first vector and first one of the prompt vectors into the N pruned models respectively; determining a second one of the prompt vectors by modifying, based on the first score, the first one of the prompt vectors; and based on the second one of the prompt vectors, returning to obtaining the first score until determining a target prompt vector corresponding to the sample data.
