Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models in the medical industry often deteriorate when updated, failing to match user needs and operations, leading to inaccuracies in medical data analysis.

Innovation Solution

A medical information processing device that acquires verification data sets, including medical data, result data, and true/false data, to identify a target verification data set suitable for evaluating the performance of a trained model, allowing for appropriate updates based on the relationship between the first trained model and verification data sets.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a trained model is updated through additional learning to improve accuracy, then the model's general accuracy may improve, but the model may deteriorate in matching user needs and operations

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidalignment with user needs
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by selecting and preparing verification data sets before model updating. The system identifies appropriate verification data sets that reflect user needs and operations in advance, then uses these pre-selected data sets to evaluate whether model updates will maintain alignment with user requirements, preventing deterioration before it occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements feedback by using verification data sets to evaluate model performance before and after updates. The system compares model outputs against verification data sets containing user feedback information, allowing it to determine whether updates improve or deteriorate alignment with user needs, and to reject updates that would cause deterioration

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If verification data sets are comprehensively collected and evaluated, then model updating accuracy improves, but processing time and complexity increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel evaluation accuracyVSAvoidverification processing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies taking out by extracting only the necessary verification data sets from the overall data collection. The system identifies and selects specific verification data sets that are most relevant to evaluating model performance for particular update scenarios, rather than comprehensively processing all available data, thus reducing processing time while maintaining evaluation accuracy

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial action by using a selected subset of verification data sets rather than the complete data set. The system determines that processing a carefully selected portion of verification data sets is sufficient to accurately evaluate model updates, avoiding the excessive processing time that would result from comprehensively evaluating all available data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action
