Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models, particularly in fraud detection, suffer from inaccuracies due to false positive and false negative predictions, which are difficult to eliminate and require significant network resources, especially when training datasets contain incorrect labels.

Innovation Solution

Utilize reinforcement learning to enhance a deep learning model by generating a second training dataset with improved labeling accuracy through a reinforcement learning agent (RLA), followed by training and testing to generate a reward parameter, thereby increasing the detection rate of correct predictions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional machine learning models are trained on initial training datasets, then the models can perform predictions, but the prediction accuracy is reduced due to false positive and false negative predictions from incorrect labels in the training data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidlabel accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

A reinforcement learning agent is introduced as an intermediary between the initial training dataset and the deep learning model. The agent processes the initial dataset, corrects incorrect labels through reinforcement learning, and generates an improved training dataset with higher label accuracy, thereby resolving the contradiction between prediction accuracy and label reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The reinforcement learning agent uses feedback mechanisms to iteratively improve label accuracy. The agent receives feedback from the deep learning model's predictions and adjusts its labeling corrections accordingly, creating a closed-loop system that continuously enhances both label accuracy and prediction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If traditional machine learning models are used with initial training datasets, then the training process is simpler, but significant network resources are required to eliminate incorrect predictions

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining process complexityVSAvoidnetwork resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The reinforcement learning agent performs preliminary action by correcting labels in the training dataset before the deep learning model is trained. This preprocessing step eliminates incorrect predictions in advance, reducing the need for post-training resource-intensive correction processes and optimizing network resource utilization

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Ease of manufacture

If the initial training dataset contains incorrect labels, then data collection is easier, but the detection rate of correct predictions is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata collection easeVSAvoiddetection rate
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The manual mechanical process of meticulous data labeling is replaced with an automated reinforcement learning system. The RLA automatically identifies and corrects incorrect labels in the training dataset, maintaining ease of data collection while significantly improving the detection rate through automated label refinement

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
