Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If traditional neural networks are used, then the system structure is simple, but the ability to perform complex hierarchical tasks and adapt to new situations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The neural network is divided into multiple distinct layers, each performing specific functions (feature extraction, pattern recognition, decision-making). This segmentation allows each layer to specialize in particular tasks, improving overall adaptability while maintaining manageable complexity through modular design
Solution Approach 2:
The invention introduces a hierarchical dimension to traditional neural networks by stacking multiple layers with different architectures and functionalities. This adds temporal and functional dimensions to the network structure, enabling it to process information at multiple levels of abstraction simultaneously
2Adaptability or versatility
If traditional neural networks are used, then the network structure is simple, but the capability to handle increased orders of hierarchical complexity is insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
Multiple neural networks are nested within each other in a hierarchical stack, where lower-level networks extract features and higher-level networks perform pattern recognition and decision-making. Each network is contained within and contributes to the functionality of the next level, creating a nested structure that handles hierarchical complexity effectively
Solution Approach 2:
The network architecture is made dynamic by allowing different layers to be activated or deactivated based on the complexity of the task. The system can adapt its structural complexity in real-time, engaging only the necessary layers for the current hierarchical complexity level, thus balancing capability with operational efficiency
3Adaptability or versatility
If traditional neural networks are used, then programming and retraining requirements are extensive, but adaptability to new situations is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The network is pre-trained with a diverse set of patterns and features across multiple layers during the design phase. This preliminary action equips the network with generalizable knowledge that enables it to adapt to new situations through combination and transformation of learned patterns, reducing the need for extensive retraining
Solution Approach 2:
The hierarchical stacked neural network performs self-adaptation by automatically combining and transforming patterns from lower-level networks to address new situations. The system serves itself by leveraging its internal hierarchical structure to generalize from existing knowledge without requiring external retraining intervention for every new scenario
Data Source
AI summary
A method of processing information is provided. The method involves receiving a message; processing the message with a trained artificial neural network based processor, having at least one set of outputs which represent information in a non-arbitrary organization of actions based on an architecture of the artificial neural network based processor and the training; representing as a noise vector at least one data pattern in the message which is incompletely represented in the non-arbitrary organization of actions; and analyzing the noise vector distinctly from the trained artificial neural network.
