Solution Overview

Problem

Existing artificial intelligence models face inefficiencies and inconsistencies when trained on disparate datasets from various sources, leading to performance issues due to data context mismatches, which are difficult to address through manual qualitative analysis.

Innovation Solution

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

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual qualitative analysis is used to determine dataset similarity, then human judgment can be applied, but the process becomes time-consuming and inconsistent

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedataset similarity assessment accuracyVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces manual qualitative analysis with an automated computational system that uses feature extraction, clustering algorithms, and similarity scoring to objectively assess dataset similarity. This substitution eliminates human judgment variability and significantly reduces analysis time while maintaining or improving assessment accuracy.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary automated analysis system that acts as a mediator between datasets and human evaluators. This intermediary performs feature extraction and similarity computation, providing objective metrics that guide dataset selection without requiring direct manual comparison of all data points.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Adaptability or versatility

If training datasets from disparate data sources are used, then data diversity increases, but data context mismatches cause performance inconsistencies

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata diversityVSAvoidmodel performance consistency
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies local quality by ensuring that training datasets have contextual similarity to the test dataset in specific relevant features. Rather than requiring uniformity across all aspects, the system identifies and matches critical local characteristics (features) that are essential for model performance while allowing diversity in other areas.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used to evaluate dataset similarity from broad categorical matches to specific feature-based measurements. By extracting and comparing relevant features (such as audio characteristics, image properties, or text attributes), the system can objectively determine contextual similarity and select training datasets that maintain performance consistency across diverse sources.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Extent of automation

If feature vectors are used for clustering, then automated dataset grouping is achieved, but computational complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedataset clustering automationVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the complex task of dataset similarity assessment into distinct stages: feature extraction, feature vector generation, clustering, and similarity scoring. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently and enables parallel processing, reducing overall computational complexity while maintaining high automation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent extracts only the most relevant features from datasets before creating feature vectors for clustering. By selecting and extracting only critical features rather than processing entire datasets, the system reduces the dimensionality and computational burden of clustering operations while preserving the essential information needed for accurate similarity assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Artificial intelligence models are trained with training datasets of known input/output values. Test datasets are used to evaluate the trained artificial intelligence models. Context mismatch between the training dataset and the test dataset can slow down the development of artificial intelligence models. The described systems and methods can identify context similar datasets for the purpose of training and testing an artificial intelligence model. In one embodiment, a context similarity detector can ingest and combine a training dataset and a test dataset and generate a context similarity score for the two. If the score is above a threshold, the datasets are similar, and the relevant artificial intelligence model can be trained with one and tested with the other.
