Input Data Accuracy Determination via Partial Verification
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current methods for determining the accuracy of inputs from determination units are costly and inefficient, as they require high-accuracy verification for all inputs, which is not necessary and involves significant expense.
Innovation Solution
An information processing apparatus with multiple determination units, a first output unit, a second output unit, and an accuracy rate calculation unit, where determination results are compared and a third unit with higher accuracy is used when the first two units disagree, and accuracy rates are calculated without relying on pre-labeled data sets.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a method with higher determination accuracy is used to verify all inputs, then the accuracy rate of determinations can be obtained, but the cost increases significantly
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies partial verification by using the high-accuracy determination unit only when necessary (when determination units disagree) rather than verifying all inputs. This resolves the contradiction by obtaining accuracy information through partial application of the expensive verification method, thus maintaining measurement precision while reducing cost.
Solution Approach 2:
The system uses its own determination units to互相 verify each other's results. When determination units produce conflicting results, the system automatically triggers verification without external intervention. This self-verification mechanism obtains accuracy data while minimizing the need for expensive external verification of all inputs.
2Measurement precision
If a method with higher determination accuracy is used for all inputs, then accurate accuracy rate calculation is achieved, but the process becomes inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements partial verification processing by applying the high-accuracy determination unit only to cases where determination units disagree, rather than processing all inputs through the expensive verification method. This maintains accurate accuracy rate calculation for relevant cases while preserving overall processing efficiency.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification process is segmented into two paths: a fast path for agreeing determinations (no verification needed) and a slow path for disagreeing determinations (verification required). This segmentation resolves the contradiction by achieving accurate accuracy measurement only where necessary while maintaining high productivity for the majority of cases.
3Reliability
If verification is performed on all inputs, then complete accuracy information is obtained, but the complexity of the system increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies verification selectively based on local conditions (whether determination units agree or disagree) rather than uniformly across all inputs. This local quality approach resolves the contradiction by obtaining complete accuracy information only where needed (disagreements) while keeping the overall system complexity low through conditional verification.
Solution Approach 2:
The verification process is made dynamic and conditional rather than static and universal. The system automatically adjusts the verification level based on the agreement status of determination units, resolving the contradiction by achieving necessary accuracy information completeness while minimizing system complexity through adaptive verification.

AI summary
An information processing apparatus includes: determination units that make determinations on an input using different methods, and obtain determination results for the input; a first output unit that outputs, when a certain percentage or more of the determination results match, a determination result matched at the certain percentage or more; a second output unit that outputs, when the first output unit does not find a determination result matched at the certain percentage or more, a final determination result for the input; and an accuracy rate calculation unit that calculates, when a determination result obtained by a determination unit of interest among the determination units corresponds to a determination result matched at the certain percentage or more or matches the determination result output by the second output unit, an accuracy rate of the determination unit of interest, regarding that the determination result obtained by the determination unit of interest is correct.
