A method and system for facilitating the analysis of models, including receiving model data, assessing fields, identifying related fields, analyzing relationships, generating notifications, and storing data, to detect and mitigate biases through a comprehensive analysis framework that integrates with tools like Google Toolkit AI fairness and IBM Toolkit, utilizing natural language processing, and blockchain for audit trails.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If machine learning algorithms are implemented to automate decision-making processes, then productivity and efficiency are improved, but biases may be replicated and amplified affecting protected groups
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary analysis system that sits between the machine learning model and the decision-making process. This system includes processors that assess model data, identify fields, analyze relationships, and generate notifications about potential biases. The intermediary layer enables automated decision-making to continue while simultaneously monitoring and detecting biases that may affect protected groups, thus resolving the contradiction between productivity improvement and bias prevention.
2Reliability
If comprehensive model analysis is performed to detect biases, then fairness and reliability are improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the model analysis process into distinct functional modules: receiving model data, assessing fields, identifying related fields, analyzing relationships, and generating notifications. Each module performs a specific task in the bias detection process, making the overall complex system more manageable and maintainable. The segmentation allows the system to achieve comprehensive bias detection while organizing complexity into discrete, manageable components.
3Measurement precision
If multiple fields and relationships are analyzed to identify biases, then measurement precision of bias detection is improved, but loss of time in analysis increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements preliminary action by automatically identifying and analyzing related fields before conducting the full bias assessment. The system receives model data, pre-identifies relevant fields and their relationships, and prepares the analysis framework in advance. This preliminary structuring of the analysis allows for more precise bias detection across multiple fields while reducing the overall time required, as the foundational work is completed before the actual bias measurement begins.
