Solution Overview

Problem

Existing log management tools lack the ability to track various AI application parameters required for performance analysis, making it difficult for developers and data scientists to understand model accuracy, system latency, and decision-making flow, especially with the rapid expansion of libraries and tools across vendors and open-source communities.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that uses fine-tuned large language models (LLMs) to generate a logger plug-in that automatically instruments AI applications, logging and tracking performance metrics, parameters, and execution flow, reducing the need for manual code instrumentation.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional log analysis tools are used to inspect logs, then manual query-level matching and rule-based policies can be applied, but it becomes impractical to analyze the huge volume of logs generated by modern software systems

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelog analysis capabilityVSAvoidlog analysis efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces log intelligence algorithms as an intermediary between traditional log analysis tools and the huge volume of logs. These algorithms, powered by machine learning, automatically detect patterns and anomalies in logs, serving as a mediator that transforms the impractical manual inspection process into an efficient automated analysis system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual query-level matching and rule-based policies with machine learning-based log intelligence algorithms. This substitution transforms the manual, time-consuming log inspection process into an automated system that can handle huge volumes of logs efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Adaptability or versatility

If existing log management tools are used, then a centralized repository for log data can be created, but they lack the ability to log various AI application parameters required for performance tracking

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveparameter tracking capabilityVSAvoidAI model parameters
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a dynamic logging configuration system that can adapt to different AI application parameters based on user input. The system dynamically determines which parameters to log (such as model accuracy, system latency, inference cost) based on the specific AI application being monitored, making the logging capability flexible and adaptable to various tracking needs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent segments the logging functionality into specific AI-related parameter tracking modules. Instead of a generic logging system, it creates specialized logging capabilities for different AI parameters (model accuracy, system latency, inference cost, decision-making flow), allowing targeted collection of specific AI application performance data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

3Adaptability or versatility

If libraries and tools are rapidly expanded across vendors and open-source community, then new features and capabilities are added, but breaking changes with new versions make it difficult to analyze performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelibrary compatibilityVSAvoidperformance analysis consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal logging framework that works across multiple AI libraries and tools from different vendors. The system is designed to handle various AI libraries (such as Hugging Face Transformers, PyTorch, TensorFlow) through a unified interface, making it versatile and compatible with different libraries while maintaining consistent performance tracking capabilities.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the logging system continuously monitors and adapts to changes in library versions and breaking changes. By automatically detecting and adapting to version changes, the system maintains reliable performance analysis consistency even as libraries evolve rapidly.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback
