Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a highly parametric model is established with large number of parameters trained on labeled data, then the model can be used for predicting new data, but the training process is extremely time-consuming and requires manual labeling which reduces productivity

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidtraining efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables models to automatically generate training data and perform self-training without manual intervention. The model generates synthetic labeled data through its own predictions and automatically updates its parameters, eliminating the need for time-consuming manual labeling while maintaining prediction accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system pre-generates synthetic training data using the model's current predictions before actual training occurs. By preparing training data in advance through automated generation rather than waiting for manual labeling, the system accelerates the training process while ensuring data quality

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If a model is trained on labeled data from one hospital, then the prediction results align with that hospital's judgment criteria, but the model cannot be effectively popularized to other hospitals with different judgment criteria, reducing adaptability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidhospital-specific adaptability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system designs a universal model architecture that can adapt to multiple hospitals' different judgment criteria through configurable parameters and domain-specific training. The same base model can be customized for different hospitals by training on their specific data characteristics without requiring complete retraining, enabling both accuracy and adaptability

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system allows different parts of the model to have different specialization levels. The core model maintains general medical knowledge while allowing hospital-specific adaptations through localized training data and parameters. This enables the model to maintain consistent performance across hospitals while adapting to local judgment criteria

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

3Measurement precision

If manual data labeling is performed to train models, then the model learns labeling rules for accurate prediction, but the process requires significant time and human resources, increasing loss of time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelabeling rule accuracyVSAvoidlabeling time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The model automatically generates its own training data by producing predictions that are then used as synthetic labels. This self-generated labeled data eliminates the need for manual labeling while maintaining the quality and consistency of training signals, significantly reducing time loss

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements a feedback loop where the model's predictions are continuously evaluated and used to generate new training data. This automated feedback mechanism replaces manual labeling by using the model's own performance to create training examples, reducing time consumption while preserving labeling accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
