Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If conventional data cleansing methods are used to detect and correct erroneous data, then data quality can be improved, but the process becomes resource-intensive and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs self-supervised learning where the model automatically identifies erroneous data patterns and correction rules without requiring manual annotation of training data. The model learns from the data itself, generating its own training examples through data augmentation techniques, thereby eliminating the need for external human intervention in the training process while maintaining high data quality detection capabilities
Solution Approach 2:
The system transforms the data cleansing approach by changing from rule-based manual methods to machine learning-based automatic detection. By using transformation functions that learn from data patterns and apply parameter transformations to identify and correct erroneous values, the system achieves both high reliability in error detection and improved processing efficiency through automation
2Reliability
If manual data cleansing approaches are applied to large datasets, then erroneous data can be identified, but the process requires significant human resources and time
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary learning by training the machine learning model on augmented training data before actual data cleansing operations. This preliminary training phase enables the model to learn erroneous data patterns and correction rules in advance, so that during production use, the model can quickly and automatically detect and correct errors without requiring real-time human intervention, significantly reducing cleansing time while maintaining detection accuracy
Solution Approach 2:
The system creates synthetic copies of training data through data augmentation techniques, generating additional training examples by applying transformation functions to existing labeled data. This copying approach allows the model to learn from a larger variety of error patterns without requiring proportional increases in manual annotation effort, thereby reducing both time and resource requirements for training while improving error detection capability
3Extent of automation
If traditional data cleaning methods are used, then erroneous records can be rectified, but the process lacks automation and requires user-defined parameters
Solution Approach 1:
The system achieves high automation through self-supervised learning where the model automatically learns from data patterns, generates its own training examples, and applies correction rules without human intervention. The model self-adjusts its parameters through the learning process, eliminating the need for users to manually define correction rules while maintaining high levels of automation. The complexity is managed through the use of standard machine learning frameworks and automated hyperparameter tuning
Solution Approach 2:
The machine learning model acts as an intermediary between the raw data and the correction process. Instead of requiring direct human intervention to define and apply correction rules, the model learns the correction logic from augmented training data and automatically applies it to identify and rectify erroneous records, thereby automating the process while managing system complexity through the use of established ML architectures

AI summary
Classification of erroneous cell data includes using at least one transformation function, the at least one transformation function determined based on correlations of observed cell data to correct call data, to automatically generate training examples that correlate erroneous data values to correct data values as informed by the at least one transformation function; augmenting an initial training set of labeled training examples with the generated training examples to produce an augmented training set; and training a machine learning model using the augmented training set to classify observed cell data based on a comparison between the observed cell data and data that the machine learning model predicts.
