Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for detecting and correcting anomalies in human resources data, particularly in compensation data across different currencies, are inefficient and labor-intensive, often leading to errors due to manual review and the limitations of data profiling in handling sparse records.

Innovation Solution

An automated system using machine learning predictive models to detect anomalies in human resources data, including compensation data, by performing data enrichment, deep character level inspection, and currency reduction, which suggests corrections and provides reasons for potential errors, thereby reducing manual labor and increasing accuracy.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual review methods are used to detect and correct anomalies in human resources data, then data accuracy can be improved through human judgment, but productivity decreases due to labor-intensive processes and time consumption

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata accuracyVSAvoidproductivity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables self-service by allowing the automated anomaly detection and correction suggestions to operate independently without requiring manual intervention at each step. The machine learning model automatically identifies anomalies, generates correction suggestions, and provides explanations, freeing human operators from routine manual review tasks while maintaining data accuracy through automated intelligence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual mechanical review processes with an automated machine learning system. The mechanical system of human operators manually examining each data record is substituted with an electronic system that uses predictive models to detect anomalies automatically, significantly improving productivity while maintaining or enhancing detection accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Extent of automation

If data profiling is used to detect anomalies in sparse human resources records, then automated detection capability is improved, but measurement precision deteriorates due to inability to handle sparse data effectively

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomated detection capabilityVSAvoiddetection accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes parameters by using predictive machine learning models that are specifically designed to handle sparse data conditions. Instead of traditional data profiling that fails with incomplete records, the patent employs models that can work with partial information, adjusting the detection parameters to account for data sparsity and maintain high detection accuracy in automated operations.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer of predictive modeling between the raw sparse data and the anomaly detection process. This intermediary model acts as a mediator that can infer missing information and relationships in sparse human resources data, enabling accurate automated detection even when records are incomplete or sparsely populated.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If end users manually investigate erroneous data tags, then data verification accuracy is improved, but loss of time increases significantly due to the investigation process

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata verification accuracyVSAvoidinvestigation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by providing end users with pre-generated correction suggestions and explanations before they need to investigate anomalies. The machine learning model预先 analyzes the data, identifies anomalies, generates likely corrections, and prepares explanatory narratives, so that users only need to review and confirm rather than conduct full investigations, dramatically reducing time loss while maintaining verification accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by providing end users with immediate, explanatory narratives that justify why data is flagged as erroneous and what corrections are suggested. This feedback mechanism reduces investigation time by giving users the information they need upfront to make quick verification decisions, while maintaining high accuracy through the model's ability to explain its reasoning based on the evidence.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A method and system for repairing data with incongruent or incompatible types that detects anomalies in human resources data, and if anomalies are present in the data, then suggests to a user corrections and synchronizing actions that better match patterns in the data, specifically listing reasons why the data is potentially erroneous and justifies the suggestion based on objective data to aid the user in accepting corrections and synchronizing actions or performing further review and analysis on the data using the method and system.
