Solution Overview

Problem

Reinforcement learning models often perform sub-optimally due to scarcity and quality issues of training data, which existing systems have not adequately addressed by using unsupervised learning models to generate or supplement training data.

Innovation Solution

The system employs an unsupervised learning model to process unlabeled datasets, generate labels, and create a labeled training dataset, which is then used to train a reinforcement learning model to identify abnormalities and changes in statistical distributions within input data.

1Reliability

If conventional workflows are used for training reinforcement learning models, then the model training process is simple, but the training data is scarce and low quality resulting in sub-optimal model performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performanceVSAvoidtraining data quantity and quality
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an unsupervised learning model as an intermediary component that processes unlabeled data and generates synthetic training data. This intermediary transforms the scarce and low-quality training data problem into a solution by creating artificial training examples that augment the limited real data, thereby improving reinforcement learning model performance without requiring additional high-quality labeled data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates synthetic training data that copies and transforms unlabeled data through the unsupervised learning model. This copying process generates artificial training examples that replicate the structure and patterns of real data while augmenting the dataset, effectively increasing both the quantity and quality of training data available for reinforcement learning model training

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

2Reliability

If unsupervised learning models are used to generate training data, then training data quality improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data processing system into distinct functional components: an unsupervised learning model for processing unlabeled data, a data generation module for creating synthetic training data, and a reinforcement learning model for final training. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and simplifies the overall system architecture by dividing complex data processing tasks into manageable modules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
