Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional techniques are used for training, then the training process is simple, but the model accuracy deteriorates due to inability to account for distribution differences

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtraining process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training process into distinct stages: pre-training with general data, then attribute-specific fine-tuning. It also segments the unit conversion into target-attribute-specific detailed units, allowing the model to learn distribution characteristics for each combination separately. This segmentation enables the model to achieve high accuracy by focusing on specific distributions rather than treating all data uniformly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by creating target-attribute-specific detailed units that capture the unique distribution characteristics of each combination. Instead of using a single universal unit representation, the system creates localized unit representations tailored to each target-attribute pair, allowing the model to account for distribution differences specific to each local case while maintaining overall system coherence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Measurement precision

If numerical values are normalized without considering target-attribute combinations, then the normalization process is simple, but the estimation accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveestimation accuracyVSAvoidunit conversion complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments unit conversion into target-attribute-specific detailed units, where each combination of target and attribute receives its own specialized unit representation. This segmentation allows the system to normalize and convert units according to the specific distribution characteristics of each target-attribute pair, significantly improving estimation accuracy while managing complexity through structured organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of unit representation from generic to specific, creating detailed units that are parameters of the target-attribute combination. This parameter change enables the system to adapt unit representations to the specific requirements of each combination, allowing for accurate normalization and conversion that accounts for distribution differences without overwhelming complexity.

AI summary

A training device includes: a quantitative-expression specifying unit that specifies a quantitative expression that expresses a quantity using a numerical value and a unit from the training source data; a numerical-value normalizing unit that normalizes the numerical value; a unit normalizing unit that normalizes the unit; a unit detailing unit that specifies a target, which is a physical entity, and an attribute, which is the property of the target and indicated by a numerical value and a unit, in the training source data, and converts a normalized unit into a detailed unit uniquely corresponding to a combination of the specified target, the specified attribute, and the normalized unit; and a quantitative-expression training unit that trains a quantitative-representation language model for estimating normalized numerical values by using data including detailed units and normalized numerical values.
