Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models often produce inaccurate predictions due to inaccurate annotations and lack of scalability to handle various conditional inputs, leading to inefficient and costly human review processes.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses machine learning models to analyze content and determine confidence scores, selectively sending content with low confidence scores for human review, allowing for iterative training and updating of models to improve accuracy and reduce human intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If human reviewers manually review all content for accuracy, then the accuracy of ML model predictions is improved, but the review time and resource consumption increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidreview time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies partial review action by selectively sending only content with low confidence scores for human review, rather than reviewing all content. This resolves the contradiction by maintaining high accuracy through targeted human review while significantly reducing overall review time and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The ML model performs self-evaluation by generating confidence scores for its own predictions. Content that the model is confident about is automatically accepted, while only uncertain predictions are flagged for human review. This self-service mechanism improves efficiency by eliminating the need for universal human review while maintaining accuracy through automated quality assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If ML models are trained with accurate annotations, then the model accuracy is improved, but the cost and time of creating and verifying training data increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiddata preparation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Human reviewers verify only the uncertain predictions from ML models, and this verified data is fed back into the training set. This feedback loop improves model accuracy through targeted correction of errors while maintaining high productivity by avoiding redundant verification of already accurate predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The ML model performs preliminary classification and annotation of content before human review. This preliminary action handles the majority of data processing automatically, allowing human reviewers to focus only on edge cases and uncertain predictions, thereby improving both accuracy and efficiency in training data preparation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If universal human review is performed on all content, then the quality control is improved, but the scalability and speed of processing content decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvequality controlVSAvoidcontent processing speed
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements partial quality control by applying human review only to content with low confidence scores rather than all content. This maintains quality control for uncertain predictions while achieving high scalability and processing speed through automated handling of confident predictions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically changes the review parameter based on confidence score thresholds. Content above the threshold is processed automatically with high speed, while content below the threshold triggers human review for quality control. This parameter-based differentiation resolves the contradiction between quality and speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

4Productivity

If ML models review content automatically, then the processing speed is improved, but the accuracy and reliability of predictions decrease

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprocessing speedVSAvoidprediction accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The confidence score acts as an intermediary that bridges automated ML review and human review. The ML model processes all content automatically for high speed, and the confidence score mediates by identifying which predictions require human verification to ensure accuracy, thus resolving the speed-accuracy tradeoff.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The review process is segmented into two pathways: automated review for high-confidence predictions and human review for low-confidence predictions. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high processing speed through automation while maintaining accuracy through targeted human verification of uncertain cases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

A request is received associated with a review. Within first content, a first field of interest and a second field of interest are identified and within second content, a third field of interest and a fourth field of interest are identified. A review is generated that includes a first indication of the first field of interest and a second indication of the second field of interest within the first content, as well as a third indication of the third field of interest and a fourth indication of the fourth field of interest within the second content. The review is transmitted to a device of a reviewer for reviewing the content.
