Solution Overview

Problem

The manual process of annotating and validating large datasets for machine learning models is time-consuming, error-prone, and requires significant effort, making it necessary to develop a more efficient method for generating and verifying quality-labelled datasets.

Innovation Solution

A system and method utilizing state-label mapping models and comparative artificial neural network (ANN) models, such as Siamese CNN, to dynamically annotate and validate data points by generating annotations or receiving and validating annotations from external devices or users, based on verified annotated training data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual annotation is performed by users, then annotation quality can be maintained, but time consumption and effort increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveannotation qualityVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an automated validation system that acts as an intermediary between manual annotators and the final labelled dataset. This system uses machine learning models to pre-validate annotations before human review, filtering out obvious errors and providing suggestions to annotators, thereby reducing the time required for manual validation while maintaining quality standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements a self-service annotation system where the system automatically generates annotations using pre-trained models, and annotators only need to review and correct them when necessary. This reduces the overall manual effort required while maintaining annotation quality, as the system handles routine annotation tasks autonomously.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

If manual validation of annotations is performed, then annotation errors can be detected, but the process becomes highly time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveerror detectionVSAvoidvalidation speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual validation with an automated computer-based validation system. This system uses machine learning models trained on verified annotated training data to automatically detect annotation errors, replacing the need for extensive manual review while maintaining high error detection capability and significantly improving validation speed.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary validation of annotations using automated models before final human review. This pre-validation step identifies and flags potential errors in advance, allowing human validators to focus only on uncertain cases, thereby reducing overall validation time while maintaining thorough error detection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Manufacturing precision

If huge labelled datasets are verified manually, then data quality can be ensured, but the effort and time required become unsustainable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata qualityVSAvoidverification complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the verification process into multiple stages: automated preliminary validation using machine learning models, intermediate review of uncertain cases, and final quality assurance. This segmentation allows the system to handle huge datasets efficiently by distributing the verification workload across different automated and manual steps, reducing overall complexity while maintaining data quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a multi-functional verification system that can handle different types of annotations, data formats, and quality requirements using a unified automated validation framework. This universal system reduces the complexity of verifying huge datasets by providing a single scalable solution rather than requiring separate manual verification processes for each dataset.

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