Solution Overview

Problem

Existing systems struggle to evaluate and suggest effective changes to attribute values when input data has defects, making it difficult to achieve desired prediction results.

Innovation Solution

The system generates complementary data patterns to address defects, determines perturbation vectors for attribute changes, and evaluates these vectors based on determination results and cost values to suggest actionable changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If complementary data is generated by complementing defects in multiple ways, then the ability to evaluate perturbation information improves, but the computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-generates multiple complementary data patterns by complementing defective input data in various ways before perturbation evaluation. This preliminary generation of diverse data patterns enables more accurate evaluation of whether perturbation information can change labels across different patterns, resolving the contradiction by preparing evaluation candidates in advance rather than computing them on-demand during evaluation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation process is segmented into independent assessments for each complementary data pattern. The system evaluates whether perturbation information changes labels in each pattern separately, then aggregates these determination results. This segmentation allows parallel processing of different patterns, improving evaluation accuracy while managing computational complexity through modular assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If multiple complementary data patterns are generated to evaluate perturbation information, then the reliability of prediction result changes improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The complementary data generation mechanism serves multiple functions: it handles various types of data defects, generates diverse evaluation patterns, and enables robust perturbation assessment. By making the data complementation system universal and multi-functional, the patent improves prediction reliability across different defect scenarios without proportionally increasing system complexity

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

Solution Approach 2:

Complementary data patterns act as intermediaries between defective input data and perturbation evaluation. Instead of directly evaluating perturbations on incomplete data, the system introduces multiple complemented data patterns as intermediate representations. This intermediary approach enhances reliability by providing multiple evaluation contexts while keeping the core evaluation logic relatively simple

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
