Solution Overview

Problem

Existing artificial intelligence models face inefficiencies and inconsistencies when trained on disparate datasets, leading to performance issues due to data context mismatch, which is exacerbated by manual and subjective methods for identifying context-similar training and test datasets.

Innovation Solution

A context similarity detector (CSD) is employed to analyze training and test datasets, using clustering techniques based on feature vectors to identify context-similar training datasets, generating a context similarity score (CSS) to improve model accuracy and efficiency.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual and subjective methods are used to identify context-similar datasets, then human judgment can be applied, but the process becomes time-consuming and inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveconsistency of dataset similarity assessmentVSAvoidtime required for manual dataset analysis
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual human judgment with an automated computational system that uses feature extraction and clustering algorithms to objectively assess dataset similarity. The context similarity detector automatically compares datasets based on extracted features without human intervention, eliminating time consumption and inconsistency associated with manual methods.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables datasets to be self-evaluated for similarity through automated feature extraction and comparison. Each dataset is independently analyzed for its features, and the system automatically determines context similarity without requiring external human assessment, making the process efficient and scalable.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Quantity of substance

If multiple disparate training datasets are used, then model training data availability increases, but data context mismatch problems are exacerbated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveamount of training dataVSAvoidmodel training consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the evaluation process into distinct steps: feature extraction, clustering analysis, and similarity scoring. This segmentation allows the system to handle multiple disparate datasets systematically by analyzing their individual characteristics and comparing them objectively, ensuring that data quantity increases do not compromise training consistency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the assessment parameters from subjective human judgment to objective quantitative metrics through feature extraction and clustering. By transforming dataset characteristics into measurable parameters and comparing them mathematically, the system can reliably evaluate context similarity across multiple disparate datasets, maintaining training consistency even as data quantity increases.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If feature vectors and clustering are used to automate dataset analysis, then analysis speed increases, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The context similarity detector is designed as a universal system that handles multiple types of datasets through a single integrated framework. The feature extraction and clustering mechanisms work across different data formats and sources, providing a multi-functional solution that achieves high productivity without requiring separate complex systems for each dataset type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

AI summary

Described systems and methods provide a context similarity detector configured to receive two or more datasets, combine the datasets into a combined dataset, and perform clustering on the combined dataset. Based on the clustering, the context similarity detector generates a context similarity score indicating a similarity between the datasets and compares the score to a threshold. Datasets having a context similarity score above the threshold may be identified as context-similar and may be used to improve training and evaluation of artificial intelligence models.
