Modular Pipeline Model Combination Pattern

A Modular Pipeline Model Combination Pattern is a model combination pattern that chains models sequentially where one model's output becomes another model's input for task completion.

• AKA: Sequential Model Pattern, Pipeline Architecture Pattern, Producer-Consumer Pattern.
• Context:
  • It can typically compose Modular Pipeline Complex Tasks from modular pipeline atomic operations.
  • It can typically enable Modular Pipeline Output Refinement through modular pipeline stage processings.
  • It can often improve Modular Pipeline System Modularity via modular pipeline component isolations.
  • It can often facilitate Modular Pipeline Error Tracking through modular pipeline stage monitorings.
  • It can range from being a Linear Modular Pipeline Pattern to being a Branching Modular Pipeline Pattern, depending on its modular pipeline topology.
  • It can range from being a Fixed Modular Pipeline Pattern to being a Dynamic Modular Pipeline Pattern, depending on its modular pipeline configuration flexibility.
  • It can range from being a Homogeneous Modular Pipeline Pattern to being a Heterogeneous Modular Pipeline Pattern, depending on its modular pipeline model diversity.
  • It can range from being a Shallow Modular Pipeline Pattern to being a Deep Modular Pipeline Pattern, depending on its modular pipeline stage count.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • NLP Modular Pipeline Patterns, such as:
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation Pipeline Pattern for information-grounded generation.
    • Translation-Summarization Pipeline Pattern for cross-lingual abstracting.
    • NER-Relation-Extraction Pipeline Pattern for information extraction.
  • Vision Modular Pipeline Patterns, such as:
    • Detection-Classification Pipeline Pattern for object recognition.
    • Segmentation-Analysis Pipeline Pattern for image understanding.
    • OCR-NLP Pipeline Pattern for document processing.
  • Speech Modular Pipeline Patterns, such as:
    • ASR-NLU Pipeline Pattern for voice understanding.
    • Diarization-Transcription Pipeline Pattern for meeting analysis.
    • TTS-Vocoder Pipeline Pattern for speech synthesis.
  • Multi-Modal Modular Pipeline Patterns, such as:
    • Image-Caption-QA Pipeline Pattern for visual question answering.
    • Video-Transcript-Summary Pipeline Pattern for multimedia summarization.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • End-to-End Model, which processes without intermediate stages.
  • Parallel Processing Pattern, which executes simultaneously rather than sequentially.
  • Monolithic Architecture, which lacks modular separation.
