Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If machine learning models are deployed to improve complex computing system operations, then system efficiency and decision-making quality improve, but the system becomes vulnerable to data poisoning attacks and model manipulation
Solution Approach 1:
The system performs preliminary actions by generating synthetic training data using GANs before the actual model training occurs. This pre-generated trusted data is then mixed with real data to create a robust training dataset that is resistant to poisoning attacks, thereby protecting the model before deployment
Solution Approach 2:
The system introduces an intermediary component - the GAN-based data generation and validation system - that sits between the raw data sources and the ML model training process. This intermediary validates and cleanses data, preventing poisoned data from reaching the model while maintaining the benefits of using real-world data
2Measurement precision
If data is continuously collected from external sources to improve model accuracy, then model performance improves, but the risk of data poisoning and model drift increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system implements feedback mechanisms by continuously monitoring data characteristics and comparing them against expected patterns. When anomalies or poisoning indicators are detected, the system adjusts by filtering or rejecting suspicious data, creating a closed-loop system that maintains data quality over time
Solution Approach 2:
The system changes parameters by dynamically adjusting the mixing ratio of synthetic to real data, modifying validation thresholds, and adapting data selection criteria based on detected data quality metrics. This allows the system to respond to changing threat landscapes while maintaining model accuracy
3Reliability
If comprehensive data validation and clustering processes are implemented to detect data poisoning, then data security improves, but system complexity and processing time increase
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the data validation process into distinct modular components: data ingestion, clustering analysis, characteristic extraction, poisoning detection, and model training. Each module performs a specific function and can be independently optimized or replaced, reducing overall system complexity while maintaining comprehensive security

AI summary
A data poisoning and model drift prevention computing system may feed trusted historical data to one or more generative adversarial networks (GAN) and cause the GANs to generate simulated data. Curated simulated data is clustered and the data characteristics are captured, such as number of clusters, data density, and the like. The data poisoning and model drift prevention computing system sanitizes the model data and merges the sanitized data with trusted data. The data poisoning and model drift prevention computing system may then cluster the resultant data again and compare the similarities with trusted data clusters. No change in cluster characteristics indicate the data is not tampered and in expected condition. The data poisoning and model drift prevention computing system identifies a deviation in cluster characteristics corresponding to poisoned data and trigger remedial actions.
