Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If traditional failure prediction methods using SMART data are employed, then the prediction process can be implemented, but the accuracy of failure prediction is low due to unbalanced training samples and model aging
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic model updating through online learning, where the prediction model is continuously updated with new data streams. The system transitions from static offline training to dynamic online adaptation, allowing the model to evolve with changing data distributions and prevent aging effects.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies majority class under-sampling to modify the training data parameters by reducing the representation of healthy data points. This parameter change in data distribution balances the class imbalance between healthy and erroneous SMART data, enabling more accurate failure prediction.
2Measurement precision
If offline training with historical data is used, then initial model performance can be achieved, but model aging occurs and prediction accuracy degrades over time
Solution Approach 1:
The patent ensures continuous model improvement by implementing uninterrupted online learning updates. The system continuously ingests new SMART data streams and updates the prediction model in real-time, maintaining continuous useful action rather than periodic batch updates, thus preventing model aging and extending validity period.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where prediction results and new SMART data are fed back into the model for continuous refinement. The system uses feedback from actual device performance and failure patterns to adjust model parameters and maintain high prediction accuracy over extended periods.
