Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If training data is added one by one by manual selection, then inference accuracy can be improved, but the time required to update model parameters increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinference accuracyVSAvoidtime required to update model parameters
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by automatically selecting and preparing training data before model updating. The data selection unit pre-processes and ranks data points based on their importance to the model, so that when updating is needed, the data is already organized and ready for efficient processing, reducing the overall time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by automatically selecting training data without requiring manual intervention from skilled personnel. The data selection unit autonomously evaluates data importance and selects appropriate training data, allowing the system to update model parameters efficiently without human involvement in the data selection process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If training data is selected manually by skilled personnel, then data quality can be maintained, but the process becomes time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidtraining data processing efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The data selection unit performs self-service by automatically evaluating and selecting training data based on predefined criteria and model requirements. It autonomously determines which data points are most important for training, eliminating the need for manual review while maintaining data quality through algorithmic selection processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by using automated selection criteria based on data characteristics, model performance metrics, and importance weights. Instead of manual selection, the system adjusts and optimizes selection parameters algorithmically to identify the most valuable training data, improving processing efficiency while maintaining quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If training data is added without considering data distribution balance, then the update process becomes faster, but inference accuracy decreases due to data imbalance

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by adjusting data selection criteria to account for distribution balance. The data selection unit modifies selection weights and importance parameters to ensure that training data represents the true data distribution, preventing imbalance while maintaining fast update speeds through automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by continuously monitoring model performance and data distribution characteristics. The feedback mechanism allows the data selection unit to adjust its selection criteria based on actual model behavior and performance metrics, ensuring that training data maintains balance and improves accuracy while enabling rapid updates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
