Solution Overview

Problem

Existing AI models trained on general knowledge lack domain-specific accuracy, leading to unreliable performance in specific subdomains, and conventional evaluation methods are insufficient for assessing reliability, resulting in inefficient model deployment and potential for erroneous responses.

Innovation Solution

A system comprising a data augmentor and a model evaluator that generates augmented aspect data by varying base queries based on aspects like contradiction, counterfactual, and domain-specific queries, allowing for a comprehensive evaluation of AI models and iterative re-training based on performance scores to ensure domain-specific reliability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AI models are trained on general knowledge corpus, then the models can handle a wide variety of topics, but the models lack domain-specific accuracy and reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetopic coverageVSAvoiddomain-specific accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation process is segmented into multiple aspect queries (e.g., contradiction aspect, counterfactual aspect, negation aspect) that separately evaluate different dimensions of model reliability. This segmentation allows comprehensive assessment of domain-specific performance while maintaining general knowledge coverage.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary evaluation using augmented aspect data before deploying the model in specific domains. This preliminary assessment identifies reliability gaps in domain-specific contexts, allowing proactive model improvement through targeted re-training rather than reactive corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Device complexity

If conventional evaluation methods using base queries are used, then the evaluation process is simple, but the evaluation is superficial and insufficient for assessing model reliability

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation process complexityVSAvoidreliability assessment accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation transitions from a single-dimension base query approach to a multi-dimensional aspect query framework. By adding aspects such as contradiction, counterfactual, and negation dimensions, the system achieves comprehensive reliability assessment without excessive complexity through systematic organization.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

Aspect queries serve as intermediaries between base queries and model outputs. These intermediary queries transform simple base queries into multiple evaluative perspectives, enabling deeper reliability assessment while maintaining a structured and manageable evaluation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If models are deployed without effective evaluation, then deployment time and costs are reduced, but erroneous and faulty responses increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedeployment speedVSAvoiderroneous responses
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary evaluation using augmented aspect data before deploying the model in specific domains. This preliminary assessment identifies reliability gaps in domain-specific contexts, allowing proactive model improvement through targeted re-training rather than reactive corrections.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system provides feedback through performance scores that indicate whether model reliability meets domain-specific thresholds. This feedback mechanism enables iterative improvement cycles where models are re-trained on aspect data to address identified weaknesses, continuously reducing erroneous responses while maintaining deployment efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods for evaluating reliability of a model are disclosed, including a processor that may include a data augmentor and a model evaluator. The data augmentor may receive a task data pertaining to information related to a pre-defined task to be performed by the model. The data augmentor may augment the task data to obtain an augmented aspect data. The model evaluator may evaluate a trained model based on the augmented aspect data to obtain aspect evaluation metrics. The model may be an artificial intelligence (AI) model that may be trained using the task data. The evaluation may enable to assess performance of the trained model by computing a performance score based on the aspect evaluation metrics. The performance score may help evaluate the reliability of the model in a pre-defined domain.
