Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that sits between the machine-learning models and the data processes. This intermediary automatically generates data objects representing model implementations, tracks usage, and validates compliance with system requirements frameworks, thereby maintaining transparency without reducing productivity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms by automatically generating data objects that capture model implementation details and usage information. This feedback loop enables continuous monitoring and validation of model compliance, ensuring transparency while maintaining automation efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Productivity

If conventional systems allow use of machine-learning models, then productivity is improved, but ability to control usage and verify inputs/outputs deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuse of machine-learning modelsVSAvoidcontrol and verification of model usage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating data objects that represent machine-learning model implementations before the models are deployed. These data objects capture model details, datasets, and configuration information in advance, enabling subsequent validation and control measures to be applied effectively

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

An intermediary validation system is introduced that uses the pre-generated data objects to verify model inputs, outputs, and compliance with system requirements frameworks. This intermediary layer provides reliability control without interfering with the productive use of machine-learning models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Ease of operation

If machine-learning models are implemented without centralized management, then ease of operation is improved, but compliance with system requirements deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
