Solution Overview

Problem

Existing workflows utilizing deep learning models face challenges in identifying when to fine-tune or retrain models due to data distribution shifts and data privacy issues, particularly in workflows with multiple machine learning models, where determining which model to retrain is non-trivial.

Innovation Solution

A raster retraining decision system that includes a raster segmentation model, a header mask segmentation model, and a segment comparison model to generate comparison scores for determining when to retrain raster digitization components, using machine learning models to automatically decide on retraining based on input and output analysis.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If continuous retraining of machine learning models is performed to maintain performance under data distribution shifts, then model accuracy is improved, but computational resource consumption increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements a feedback mechanism where the performance monitor continuously evaluates model performance metrics and automatically triggers retraining only when performance degradation exceeds a threshold, avoiding unnecessary continuous retraining and reducing computational resource consumption while maintaining model accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The workflow system performs self-diagnosis through the performance monitor and self-retraining through the retraining manager, automatically determining when retraining is needed based on performance metrics without requiring external intervention, thus optimizing resource usage while maintaining reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If comprehensive performance monitoring and automated retraining decisions are implemented, then model performance is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performanceVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is segmented into distinct functional modules: performance monitor for evaluation, retraining manager for decision-making, and retraining module for execution. This modular segmentation manages system complexity by assigning specific responsibilities to each component while maintaining overall model performance

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The performance monitor and retraining manager serve multiple functions: they monitor various model outputs, evaluate performance against multiple criteria, make retraining decisions, and coordinate with different workflow components, reducing the need for separate specialized systems and managing complexity through multi-functional components

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)
