Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If researchers pre-select entities to investigate in a knowledge graph, then the focus of predictive models can be directed to specific areas, but the number of similar or related entities becomes too large making quality assessment difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveentity selection efficiencyVSAvoidentity quality differentiation
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary evaluation system that mediates between the selected entities and the final results. This system computes multiple metrics (data quality, model performance, result utility) to differentiate entity quality, transforming the undifferentiated large set of entities into a ranked hierarchy that guides researchers to the most promising candidates.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameters used to assess entities from simple counts to multi-dimensional metrics including data quality scores, model performance indicators, and result utility measures. This parameter transformation enables differentiation of entity quality even when entities are similar, allowing researchers to identify the most valuable entities efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If multiple predictive models are used to generate predictions, then the coverage and depth of analysis increase, but the complexity of evaluating and comparing model suitability increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidmodel evaluation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the evaluation of multiple predictive models into a unified framework that assesses all models simultaneously across multiple dimensions. By combining data quality assessment, model performance evaluation, and result utility measurement into a single integrated system, the patent reduces the complexity of comparing multiple models while maintaining comprehensive reliability assessment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal evaluation framework that can assess any predictive model regardless of its specific type or configuration. This multi-functional system handles diverse models through standardized metrics, enabling straightforward comparison and selection without requiring model-specific evaluation procedures.

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

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive metrics are computed for entity evaluation, then the quality assessment becomes more accurate, but the computational resources and time required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveentity quality measurementVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary actions by pre-computing data quality metrics and entity characteristics before running predictive models. This advance preparation stores reusable information that accelerates the evaluation process, allowing comprehensive metrics to be computed efficiently when entities need to be assessed without repeating all computational steps.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
