Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a conventional question-and-answer system is used for vehicles, then the system structure is simple, but the accuracy and quality of answering vehicle-related questions are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the question processing into distinct functional modules: an encoding module that converts input questions into encoded representations, a question classifier that identifies the type of question, and a category classifier that determines the answer category. This segmentation allows each module to specialize in specific tasks, improving overall accuracy while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces a multi-dimensional classification approach by simultaneously classifying questions into multiple categories (question type, answer category, intent classification) rather than single-dimensional classification. This multi-dimensional approach enhances the precision of answer matching by considering multiple aspects of the question simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If deep learning multi-task learning is implemented, then the accuracy and quality of FAQ answers are improved, but the computational complexity and training requirements increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges multiple classification tasks (question classification, category classification, and answer matching) into a single integrated deep learning model. This multi-task learning approach allows the model to learn shared representations across different tasks, improving accuracy for each individual task while avoiding the need for separate models, thus managing computational complexity through consolidation rather than multiplication of components.
Solution Approach 2:
The deep learning model is designed with multi-functionality to perform multiple classification and matching tasks simultaneously. The encoding module generates representations that are universally applicable to different question types and categories, allowing a single model structure to handle diverse vehicle-related FAQs with high accuracy without requiring task-specific model variations.
3Measurement precision
If multiple classifiers and encoding modules are used, then the classification accuracy is improved, but the system structure becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The system divides the classification process into segmented functional components: an encoding module for feature extraction, a question classifier for question-type identification, and a category classifier for answer-category determination. Each segment focuses on a specific aspect of classification, improving overall accuracy while the modular structure keeps system complexity manageable through clear separation of concerns.
Solution Approach 2:
The encoding module performs preliminary action by converting raw input questions into encoded representations before they are passed to the classifiers. This preprocessing step prepares the data in an optimized format that enhances the effectiveness of subsequent classification operations, improving accuracy while consolidating complexity into a single preparatory module rather than distributing it across multiple preprocessing components.
