Solution Overview

Problem

Current text generation models face challenges such as high dependency on large-scale training corpora and poor model versatility, making it impractical to meet specific text generation requirements, especially when suitable training data is scarce or when requirements change.

Innovation Solution

A pre-trained general text generation model is fine-tuned for specific tasks by determining task types and output attributes, reducing the need for extensive training data and enabling the model to adapt to diverse requirements through task-specific fine-tuning.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Manufacturing precision

If a text generation model is trained on large-scale training corpora to achieve high generation quality, then the model performance is improved, but the dependency on large training data increases and device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext generation qualityVSAvoidtraining corpus size
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-training a general text generation model on large-scale corpora before fine-tuning for specific tasks. This pre-trained model serves as a foundation that captures general language patterns and capabilities, allowing subsequent fine-tuning on smaller task-specific datasets to achieve high performance without requiring enormous amounts of task-specific training data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the training process into two distinct stages: pre-training on general large-scale corpora and fine-tuning on task-specific smaller datasets. This segmentation allows the model to first learn general language representations from abundant data, then specialize in specific tasks with limited data, thereby reducing dependency on large task-specific training corpora while maintaining high generation quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Manufacturing precision

If a text generation model is trained on large-scale training corpora to achieve high generation quality, then the model performance is improved, but the device complexity and training cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetext generation qualityVSAvoidtraining system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The pre-trained general model serves as a ready-to-use foundation that encapsulates general language capabilities. By leveraging this pre-computed model, the system avoids the complexity of training models from scratch for each specific task, significantly reducing device complexity and training costs while maintaining high generation quality through fine-tuning.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent uses the pre-trained general model as a template or copy that can be adapted to multiple specific tasks through fine-tuning. Instead of creating new models from scratch for each task, the system copies the successful pre-trained architecture and adapts it to specific tasks using smaller datasets, thereby reducing overall system complexity and computational resources required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

3Adaptability or versatility

If a text generation model is designed to support multiple task types to improve versatility, then the model adaptability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel versatilityVSAvoidmodel structure complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements universality by designing a single pre-trained general text generation model that can be adapted to multiple different task types through fine-tuning. This universal model serves various functions (translation, summarization, question-answering, etc.) by adjusting task indication information and training data, achieving high versatility without requiring separate specialized models for each task.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The model employs dynamics by allowing flexible adjustment of task indication information and training parameters during the fine-tuning process. The same pre-trained model can dynamically adapt to different task requirements by modifying input task indications and training data, enabling versatile performance across multiple tasks while maintaining a relatively simple base model structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

AI summary

A method for implementing text generation, a device and a medium are provided. The method includes: determining a target task type of a target text generation task from multiple task types supported by a pre-trained general text generation model; determining, based on a requirement of the target text generation task for a target output text, a first target output text attribute for the target text generation task from multiple output text attributes supported by the general text generation model; and fine tuning the general text generation model based on a target training data set associated with the target text generation task to obtain a task-specific text generation model, by taking task indication information for the target task type and first attribute indication information for the first target output text attribute as at least part of an input of the general text generation model.
