Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models developed for specific geographic areas are not applicable to other areas, leading to the creation of numerous models and large amounts of data, which is inefficient and lacks scalability.

Innovation Solution

A geographic agnostic machine learning model is developed by selecting and formatting transaction data from multiple geographic areas, generating a generalization layer based on macro-economic factors, and applying inputs to this model for consistent performance across different regions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning models are developed for each specific geographic area and demographic, then prediction accuracy for that area is improved, but the number of models and data requirements increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoidnumber of models
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies universality by creating a single machine learning model architecture that can function across multiple geographic areas and demographics. The model uses standardized feature engineering and processing pipelines that work universally, eliminating the need to develop separate models for each region while maintaining predictive capabilities through adaptive parameter tuning and ensemble methods

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

2Measurement precision

If machine learning models are developed for each specific geographic area, then local prediction accuracy is improved, but data storage and processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction accuracyVSAvoiddata volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges data from multiple geographic areas into a unified dataset for training a single model. By combining previously separate data silos into one comprehensive dataset with standardized schemas, the system reduces redundant data storage while improving model generalization across regions through shared patterns learned from diverse populations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

3Reliability

If multiple machine learning models are created for different geographic areas, then local performance is optimized, but system maintenance and updates become more difficult

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvelocal performanceVSAvoidmodel maintenance
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of manufacture

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the system into modular components including standardized data processing pipelines, feature extraction modules, and model training frameworks that can be independently maintained and updated. This segmentation allows local performance optimization through targeted module adjustments without requiring changes to the entire system, simplifying maintenance while preserving regional effectiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
