Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Extent of automation
If conventional black box machine learning models are used for image modification, then the system operates automatically without user interaction, but the system lacks flexibility and cannot adapt to user-specific editing requirements
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adapts the machine learning model based on user interactions. The model transitions from a static black box to a dynamic system that adjusts its behavior and parameters in response to user feedback, enabling both automatic operation and user-specific adaptation
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates user interactions as feedback to refine and adjust the machine learning model's predictions. User corrections and modifications are fed back into the system to improve subsequent automatic editing operations, creating a closed-loop adaptive system
2Ease of operation
If separate image editing tools are used to manually correct neural network predictions, then user control is improved, but time and computing resources increase significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The system merges the neural network's automatic editing capabilities with user control mechanisms into a unified workflow. Instead of using separate tools for correction, the user interface integrates directly with the neural network, allowing users to guide the automatic model's output with minimal additional time or computational resources
Solution Approach 2:
The system applies partial automation where the neural network handles the majority of the editing task automatically, and user intervention is required only for specific corrections or adjustments. This reduces the overall time and effort compared to fully manual editing while maintaining user control
3Extent of automation
If conventional systems generate predictions using neural networks, then automation is achieved, but accuracy is compromised due to inability to leverage learned features for corrections
Solution Approach 1:
User corrections are fed back into the system to refine the neural network's learned features and improve prediction accuracy. The system uses feedback loops to continuously improve the alignment between automatic predictions and user expectations, enhancing accuracy while maintaining automation
