Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional machine learning model training is time-consuming and bandwidth-intensive, and the model often becomes outdated before it can adapt to evolving input data or new objectives.

Innovation Solution

Implement a warm-starting method by incorporating relevant information from a previous model's training features into a new model, combining initial and processing features to create customized training features, which accelerates the training process.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional training methods are used to train a machine learning model, then the model achieves accurate results, but the training process takes significant time and processing bandwidth

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidtraining time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing the training data to identify and extract key features before actual model training begins. This preliminary feature extraction and data preparation work reduces the complexity of the training task, allowing the model to learn more efficiently and achieve the same accuracy in less time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts and separates the most important features from the complete training dataset, removing redundant or less significant information. This extraction process creates a refined subset of training data that maintains model accuracy while significantly reducing the computational burden and training time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

2Adaptability or versatility

If traditional re-training is performed to update a model with new input data, then the model adapts to new information, but the model becomes outdated before training completes

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel adaptability to new dataVSAvoidre-training time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

When new input data arrives, the system performs preliminary analysis to identify which features have changed or become more important. This preliminary assessment allows the model to be updated incrementally with only the relevant new information, rather than re-training on the entire dataset, thus maintaining adaptability while minimizing the time the model remains outdated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements dynamic updating mechanisms that allow the model to adapt to new data in stages. Instead of static re-training that completes all at once, the model can incorporate new features and adjust to new input data progressively, reducing the period during which the model is outdated while maintaining adaptability to evolving information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive training data is processed to ensure model accuracy, then the model achieves satisfactory results, but significant processing bandwidth is consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidprocessing bandwidth
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent extracts and identifies the most critical features from the comprehensive training data that have the greatest impact on model accuracy. By focusing computational resources on processing only these key features rather than all available data, the system maintains model accuracy while significantly reducing the processing bandwidth and energy consumption required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies local quality by treating different features of the training data differently based on their importance. Rather than uniformly processing all training data with the same computational intensity, the system applies higher processing quality and attention to key features that drive model accuracy, while using lighter processing for less critical data, thus optimizing the balance between accuracy and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality
