Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If static graphical user interfaces are used for model monitoring, then the system complexity is reduced, but the ability to dynamically isolate, identify, and illustrate factors contributing to model drift and risk is lost

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic monitoring capabilityVSAvoidinterface complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The graphical user interface transitions from a static display to a dynamic interactive system that responds to user selections. The interface dynamically recolors graphical illustrations to highlight selected factors, dynamically generates detailed views based on user interactions, and dynamically updates visual representations of model risk and drift. This dynamic behavior enables the interface to adapt to different monitoring needs while maintaining a consistent underlying structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The monitoring interface is divided into multiple selectable factors, each representing a distinct aspect of model risk. Users can select individual factors for detailed examination, and the system segments the overall model risk into contributable components. This segmentation allows users to focus on specific areas of concern without being overwhelmed by the complete set of factors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If static graphical user interfaces are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but the precision of factor identification and illustration is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefactor identification precisionVSAvoidinterface usability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The interface adds an interactive dimension to the monitoring system by incorporating selectable features and dynamic responses. Users can select factors and time periods, triggering detailed views that provide deeper insights. This additional interactive dimension enhances measurement precision without significantly complicating the basic operation, as the core interface remains accessible while offering advanced capabilities on demand.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

Solution Approach 2:

The interface implements a nested structure where a general overview of model risk contains selectable factors, which in turn contain detailed views with specific measurements and illustrations. This nested organization allows users to drill down from high-level monitoring to detailed factor analysis while maintaining a clear hierarchical structure. The nesting enables precise factor identification through progressive disclosure of information.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #7Nested doll (Nesting)

3Reliability

If dynamic graphical user interfaces are implemented to highlight selected factors, then model risk analysis capability is improved, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel risk detection accuracyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates visual copies and representations of model factors through graphical illustrations. When a factor is selected, the system generates a detailed view that copies and expands upon the original factor representation. This copying approach allows the system to maintain the original simplified interface structure while creating enhanced visual representations for analysis, thereby improving reliability without proportionally increasing system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The interface uses color changes as a visual mechanism to highlight selected factors and indicate their contribution to model risk. Different colors or shading intensities represent different levels of risk contribution or factor selection states. This visual encoding technique improves model risk detection accuracy by making critical information immediately apparent, while relying on established visual perception principles rather than complex computational mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

AI summary

Methods and systems for monitoring through graphical user interfaces are disclosed. In one aspect, a system is disclosed that includes a processor and data storage including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations. The operations include maintaining an input file including predetermined criteria for a plurality of factors, receiving a model dataset generated using a model, based on the input file and the model dataset, generating a first graphical user interface that includes a graphical illustration of a subset of the plurality of factors, a model risk for the model, and a selectable feature associated with a selected factor in the subset and a selected time period. The operations further include receiving through the first graphical user interface a selection of the selectable feature, and, in response, generating a second graphical user interface that recolors a portion of the first graphical user interface.
