Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional card-character-detection systems are used, then basic character identification can be performed, but accuracy is poor and excessive user interaction is required to correct errors
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements a feedback mechanism where user corrections to predicted card characters are automatically fed back into the machine learning model to retrain and improve future predictions. This continuous feedback loop resolves the contradiction by using user corrections to enhance accuracy without requiring repeated manual interventions.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs self-improvement by automatically updating its machine learning model using user corrections. Instead of requiring continuous manual adjustment, the system serves itself by learning from user feedback and autonomously improving its character detection accuracy over time.
2Reliability
If conventional authentication techniques are used, then basic verification can be performed, but security is insufficient and vulnerable to fraud
Solution Approach 1:
The system replaces conventional mechanical authentication methods with machine learning-based verification that analyzes card-scan gradients and visual characteristics. This substitution provides enhanced security by using intelligent pattern recognition rather than simple mechanical verification, while the automated nature reduces operational complexity.
Solution Approach 2:
The system utilizes visual analysis of card characteristics and gradients to verify authenticity, effectively using 'visual changes' in the card-scan data to determine legitimacy. This approach enhances security through sophisticated visual verification while maintaining streamlined operation.
3Measurement precision
If the machine learning model is updated continuously using user corrections, then prediction accuracy improves, but computational resources and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system applies partial updates to the machine learning model rather than complete retraining, updating only the necessary parameters based on user corrections. This partial action approach improves accuracy while minimizing computational resource consumption by avoiding unnecessary processing of the entire dataset.
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes model parameters selectively based on the feedback received from user corrections. By adjusting only the relevant parameters rather than the entire model, the system achieves improved prediction accuracy while reducing the computational burden associated with full model retraining.
