Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems lack comprehensive tools for transparently assessing and managing computer models, particularly in the context of artificial intelligence systems, which hinders effective utilization and oversight.

Innovation Solution

A computer-program product that generates a graphical model card visualization for assessing trained computer models, providing textual and graphical representations of model performance and training datasets, and a navigator interface for managing assets within an asset system, enabling interactive task management and alert handling.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Loss of information

If comprehensive assessment tools for computer models are implemented, then transparency and oversight are improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetransparency of model assessmentVSAvoidassessment system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assessment system is segmented into multiple independent components including model cards, assessment types (fairness, reliability, robustness), and visualization elements. Each component handles a specific aspect of model assessment, making the overall complex system manageable and transparent through modular organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

Model cards serve as intermediary documents that bridge the gap between complex computer models and human users. They provide structured information about model performance, limitations, and assessment results without requiring users to understand the underlying complex algorithms, thus improving transparency while managing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Ease of operation

If detailed graphical representations of model performance are provided, then model utilization is enhanced, but information processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel utilizationVSAvoidinformation processing load
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and presents only the most relevant model performance information in graphical form within model cards, rather than processing and displaying all available data. This selective extraction enhances ease of operation by showing key metrics while reducing the overall information processing load.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system provides partial visualization of model performance data - showing sufficient graphical representations to enable effective model utilization without processing and displaying every possible metric. This partial action approach balances usability with computational efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Adaptability or versatility

If interactive asset management capabilities are added, then system versatility is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveasset management capabilityVSAvoidnavigator interface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The navigator interface is designed as a universal tool that can manage multiple types of assets (computer models, datasets, documentation) through a single unified interface. This multi-functionality approach improves versatility without proportionally increasing complexity, as the same interface patterns handle different asset types.

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

AI summary

A computing device displays a graphical user interface (GUI) comprising a navigator interface component. The navigator interface component comprises an interactive graphical representation of an asset. The device, responsive to detecting a predefined event, generates an alert. The device updates the navigator interface component to indicate the alert in association with the asset in the interactive graphical representation. The device receives a selection of the asset via the interactive graphical representation. The device displays, in the GUI, a second interactive graphical representation specific to the asset. The second interactive graphical representation of the asset comprises a task control element for controlling tasks specific to management of the asset. The device receives, using the task control element: a task for resolving the alert; and an association with the task and the asset. The device updates the navigator interface component to indicate the association with the task and the asset.
