Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If PCA is applied to the entire high-dimensional feature space, then dimension reduction is achieved efficiently, but the reduced dimensions may not align with task-specific relevant directions
Solution Approach 1:
The feature space is segmented into task-specific subspaces based on the task heads of the machine learning model. Each task head has its own feature space projection, allowing dimension reduction to be performed separately for each task-relevant subspace rather than on the entire high-dimensional space at once. This segmentation enables the dimension reduction to preserve task-specific relevant directions while maintaining efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
Different regions or subspaces of the feature space are treated differently based on their task relevance. The patent applies local dimension reduction where each task head operates on its own projected feature space, preserving the specific quality and characteristics needed for each task while reducing overall dimensionality. This local approach ensures that task-critical directions are maintained.
2Manufacturing precision
If previous layers from a specific task head are used as feature layers to focus on task-relevant directions, then task focus is improved, but the variance in the associated directions becomes very low
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a new dimensional perspective by projecting the feature space according to task heads and then performing dimension reduction in this transformed space. This dimensional transformation allows the model to capture task-relevant directions that may have low variance in the original feature space, effectively adding a new dimensional viewpoint that reveals previously hidden relevant variations.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent changes the parameter representation of the feature space by applying task-specific projections and dimension reduction transformations. This parameter transformation converts feature vectors from the original high-dimensional space into a reduced-dimensional task-specific space, where the parameters are reorganized to emphasize task-relevant variations while maintaining sufficient variance for effective learning.
3Manufacturing precision
If data pairs with task-specific feature differences are used to determine task-specific feature spaces, then task relevance is improved, but the complexity of the dimension reduction process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent performs preliminary action by pre-projecting the feature space according to task heads before performing dimension reduction. This preliminary projection organizes the feature space in a task-relevant manner, making the subsequent dimension reduction more straightforward and efficient. By preparing the feature space in advance with task-specific projections, the overall process complexity is managed while maintaining high task relevance.
