Solution Overview

Problem

Current assessment models fail to account for context and causal relationships between intrinsic characteristics of an assessment object and its environmental context, leading to subjective and unreliable determinations due to lack of semantic integration and objective evidence-based scoring.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented system that uses a hybrid knowledge framework combining ontologies, generative AI, and machine learning to create a semantic and logical assessment theory model, enabling the identification of causal relationships and objective scoring through weighted scoring based on importance, trustworthiness, and certainty factors.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If current assessment models are used, then simplicity and ease of operation are maintained, but measurement precision and reliability deteriorate due to lack of semantic integration and context awareness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the assessment model into distinct modules: a knowledge framework module that stores semantic relationships and context information, an assessment module that processes evaluation data, and an integration module that combines them. This segmentation allows the system to achieve high measurement precision through semantic integration while managing complexity through modular architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a knowledge framework as an intermediary layer between raw assessment data and evaluation outcomes. This framework contains ontologies, semantic relationships, and context information that mediate the assessment process, enabling accurate context-aware evaluations without requiring the entire system to be overly complex.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If expert-based subjective assessments are used, then ease of operation is maintained, but reliability and objectivity worsen due to lack of evidence-based scoring

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment trustworthinessVSAvoidassessment complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements feedback mechanisms where assessment results are continuously refined based on evidence quality, semantic consistency, and context alignment. The system provides feedback loops that adjust scoring based on the strength of evidence and the degree of semantic integration, thereby improving reliability while maintaining operational clarity through automated feedback processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual expert judgment mechanisms with an automated assessment system that uses machine learning models, semantic analysis algorithms, and evidence-based scoring mechanisms. This substitution transforms subjective expert assessments into objective, reproducible evaluations while reducing operational complexity through automation.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If static large language models are used, then device complexity is reduced, but adaptability worsens due to inability to evolve over time

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel evolution capabilityVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent transforms static large language models into dynamic systems that continuously evolve through integration with assessment data, feedback loops, and knowledge framework updates. The model adapts its parameters and structures based on accumulated assessment experiences and semantic relationships, enabling continuous improvement while managing architectural complexity through incremental evolution strategies.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

Solution Approach 2:

The patent enables the assessment system to self-improve by automatically integrating new assessment data, updating the knowledge framework, and refining model parameters without requiring complete external reconfiguration. The system performs self-updates and adaptive learning, reducing the operational complexity of maintaining adaptability while continuously improving assessment capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
