Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Loss of information
If conventional AI algorithms are used for model building, then model predictions can be generated, but sufficient explanations for predictions are not provided, leading to distrust and potential model rejection
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an Explainable AI (XAI) module as an intermediary component that sits between the machine learning model and the end user. This module generates comprehensive explanations including global explanations (overall model behavior), local explanations (specific predictions), and what-if analyses (counterfactual scenarios), thereby mediating the information gap and building user trust without modifying the core predictive model
2Loss of time
If manual model building processes are used with detailed supervision, then model understanding can be maintained, but significant time is consumed during model selection and hyperparameter optimization
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements Automated Machine Learning (AutoML) algorithms that enable the system to perform model selection, hyperparameter optimization, and model training automatically without requiring detailed user supervision. The system self-manages the entire model building pipeline, significantly reducing the time required while maintaining model quality through automated evaluation and selection criteria
3Reliability
If extensive model explanations are provided to enhance understanding, then model trustworthiness improves, but the model building and deployment process becomes more complex
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the explanation system into distinct modular components: global explanation module (overall model behavior), local explanation module (specific predictions), and what-if analysis module (counterfactual scenarios). Each module handles a specific aspect of explainability independently, reducing overall system complexity while providing comprehensive explanations through coordinated operation of these specialized sub-components
