Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine learning systems rely heavily on manual and subjective data annotation, which is time-consuming, labor-intensive, and prone to errors, limiting the effectiveness and reproducibility of artificial intelligence applications.

Innovation Solution

A data annotation apparatus and method that utilizes human biometric responses to controlled stimuli to generate a second machine learning dataset, integrating biometrics data with the original dataset to enhance training and improve the quality of machine learning models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual data annotation is used, then data can be annotated with human judgment, but the process is time-consuming and labor-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveannotation accuracyVSAvoidannotation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual mechanical annotation processes with automated biometric measurement systems. Biometric sensors objectively measure physiological responses (eye tracking, brain waves, skin conductance) to replace subjective human judgment, achieving both high accuracy and automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces biometric measurements as an intermediary between the stimulus and the annotation result. Instead of direct manual annotation, biometric data serves as an objective mediator that captures the annotator's physiological response to the data being annotated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If manual data annotation is used, then human judgment can be applied, but the process is prone to errors and lacks reproducibility

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveannotation consistencyVSAvoidhuman error
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces subjective human judgment with objective biometric measurements. Physiological responses like pupil dilation, skin conductance, and brain wave patterns provide consistent, error-free data that eliminates variability between different annotators and ensures reproducible results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses biometric feedback to objectively determine annotation outcomes. The physiological responses provide real-time feedback about the annotator's cognitive and emotional state, enabling automated systems to make consistent decisions based on measurable biological signals rather than subjective interpretation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Manufacturing precision

If traditional machine learning training is used, then models can be trained on existing datasets, but the training effectiveness is limited without enhanced annotation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel training qualityVSAvoidtraining dataset quality
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates composite training datasets by combining traditional data annotation with biometric measurement data. The enhanced dataset integrates multiple types of information (visual, auditory, physiological) to create a more comprehensive training resource that improves model training quality and adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

Solution Approach 2:

The patent adds a new dimension to traditional data annotation by incorporating physiological measurement data. Instead of only visual or textual annotations, the system captures biometric dimensions (eye tracking, skin conductance, brain waves) to create multi-dimensional training data that enhances model learning capabilities.

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

AI summary

A data annotation apparatus for machine learning is provided, which includes a stimulus generation portion, a biometrics reading portion, and a data integration portion. The stimulus generation portion is configured to generate, and present to an agent, at least one stimulus based on a first data from a first machine learning dataset. The biometrics reading portion is configured to measure at least one response of the agent to the at least one stimulus, and to generate biometrics data based on the at least one response. The data integration portion is configured to integrate the biometrics data, data of the at least one stimulus, and data of the first machine learning dataset to thereby obtain a second machine learning dataset. The data annotation apparatus can result in an improved data labeling and an enhanced machine learning.
