Solution Approach 1:

The system eliminates human bias by replacing manual model creation with an automated system that objectively selects fields and generates models based on predetermined criteria and performance metrics, ensuring consistent quality without subjective human influence

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates automated feedback loops where model performance is continuously evaluated against objective criteria, and field selections and model generations are adjusted based on measured outcomes, maintaining quality through data-driven rather than human-judgment-driven decisions

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the complex analysis task into distinct automated components: field selection, combination generation, model training, and evaluation. Each segment handles a specific aspect of the analysis, reducing overall complexity while maintaining comprehensive analysis capability through systematic division of labor

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The system generates multiple models using automated field combination methods, creating more models than traditionally necessary. This excessive generation is justified by the automated nature of the process, which can efficiently manage resource consumption while improving detection coverage through increased model diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically adjusts parameters such as field selection criteria, combination depths, and model training configurations to optimize resource usage while generating multiple models. By dynamically changing these parameters based on performance feedback, the system achieves broad detection coverage without linearly increasing resource consumption

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes
