Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional model evaluation methods rely on periodic updates and manual intervention, lacking continuous performance assessment against alternative models, which can lead to suboptimal model accuracy and reliability.

Innovation Solution

A system that continuously evaluates models by executing a second model within an execution environment using the same inputs as a first model, generating candidate data points, and scoring performance against a threshold to determine if the first model should be replaced.

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If periodic model updating is used, then model maintenance is simplified, but model accuracy and reliability deteriorate due to lack of continuous evaluation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel maintenanceVSAvoidmodel accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically evaluates model performance against alternative models using historical data without requiring manual intervention. The evaluation process is self-driven, continuously comparing models and preparing replacement decisions based on predefined criteria, thereby maintaining high accuracy while simplifying operational complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where model performance is constantly measured against actual outcomes and compared with alternative models. This feedback mechanism enables automatic identification of underperforming models and triggers evaluation processes that lead to timely replacements, ensuring sustained accuracy without manual oversight.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Device complexity

If manual intervention is used for model evaluation, then evaluation control is simplified, but evaluation continuity and thoroughness deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system maintains continuous evaluation operations by automatically processing historical data through multiple models in an uninterrupted manner. The evaluation pipeline continuously generates scores, compares performances, and prepares replacement decisions without manual pauses or interruptions, ensuring thorough and consistent assessment of model reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation process is automated to perform self-controlled operations, where the system independently manages the entire evaluation workflow from data retrieval to model comparison and replacement decision-making. This self-service approach eliminates manual control complexity while ensuring continuous and comprehensive evaluation coverage.

Inventive Principle:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously compares alternative models against each other and against historical performance data, generating feedback scores that quantify model superiority. This feedback-driven comparison process systematically evaluates multiple models simultaneously, achieving high selection accuracy while managing complexity through automated scoring and ranking mechanisms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system transforms model performance into comparable numerical scores by changing the evaluation parameters into standardized metrics. By converting diverse model outputs into unified score representations that can be directly compared, the system achieves precise model selection without increasing operational complexity, as the parameter transformation is handled automatically.

Inventive Principle:

AI summary

Systems and methods for model evaluation using prior data are disclosed. A system can store a set of inputs provided to a first model to generate first data points for a first live event. Each input of the set of inputs can include a respective state of the first live event. The system can initiate an execution environment for a second model configured to generate second data points for the first live event. The system can execute the second model within the execution environment using the set of inputs to generate candidate data points for the first live event. The system can generate a score based on the first data points, the candidate data points, and one or more corresponding outcomes of the first live event. The system can set a flag to replace the first model with the second model responsive to the score satisfying a threshold.
