Solution Overview
Problem
Existing signal intelligence and signal analysis applications face challenges in efficiently generating training datasets and training AI/ML models for symbol identification due to a steep learning curve and the need for highly-curated datasets, which is often time-consuming and costly, and many analysts lack the necessary background in AI/ML.
Innovation Solution
A graphical user interface is provided to facilitate the creation of training datasets and training of AI/ML models for symbol identification by allowing users to visually mark symbols within signal representations, build models using pre-defined building blocks, and iteratively correct and retrain models, enabling users without extensive AI/ML knowledge to generate labeled datasets and trained models.

1Measurement precision
If traditional methods are used to generate training datasets and train AI/ML models, then high precision in symbol identification can be achieved, but the process becomes time-consuming and costly
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables analysts to independently create training datasets and train AI/ML models through an automated graphical user interface, eliminating the need for external AI/ML expertise. The platform provides self-contained tools for signal processing, symbol annotation, and model training that allow users to perform these tasks without requiring specialized knowledge in machine learning algorithms or dataset curation best practices.
Solution Approach 2:
The graphical user interface acts as an intermediary layer between the analyst and the complex AI/ML training processes. It abstracts away the technical complexities of dataset management, model architecture selection, and training parameter optimization, presenting simplified controls and visualizations that enable non-experts to effectively train high-performance models for symbol identification.
2Measurement precision
If highly-curated datasets are used for training, then model accuracy improves, but the complexity and cost of data preparation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically performs signal processing, feature extraction, and data preprocessing tasks that would otherwise require manual intervention. The platform includes built-in tools for cleaning, normalizing, and organizing signal data, as well as automated algorithms for generating synthetic training samples, thereby eliminating the need for manual dataset curation while maintaining high data quality.
Solution Approach 2:
The system pre-processes and prepares signal data in advance by automatically performing tasks such as noise filtering, feature extraction, and initial model training. These preliminary actions create a ready-to-use training environment that reduces the complexity of subsequent model development and ensures consistent data quality without requiring manual intervention at each step.
3Measurement precision
If extensive AI/ML knowledge is required for model training, then high precision results can be achieved, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The graphical user interface serves as an intermediary that translates complex AI/ML operations into simple, intuitive controls. It automatically handles model architecture selection, hyperparameter optimization, and training process management, allowing analysts to achieve high-precision results through guided workflows rather than requiring deep understanding of machine learning theory and practice.
Solution Approach 2:
The platform provides self-guided tools and automated recommendations that enable analysts to train high-performance models without external expertise. The system includes built-in best practices, automated model selection algorithms, and interactive visualizations that guide users through the training process, ensuring optimal results while maintaining operational simplicity.

AI summary
A method includes graphically presenting information defining one or more signals in a graphical user interface. The method also includes receiving, via the graphical user interface, an identification of (i) portions of the information defining the one or more signals that are associated with symbols contained in the one or more signals and (ii) labels for the symbols. The method further includes storing the identified portions of the information defining the one or more signals and the identified labels for the symbols as training data. In addition, the method includes receiving, via the graphical user interface, an identification of an artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) model and training the AI/ML model to predict the symbols using the training data.
