Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning models are trained with user feedback and training data, then the model's learning capability is improved, but the training quality becomes challenging and unreliable due to poor quality feedback

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining qualityVSAvoidtraining complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter is applied before training data is used to pre-process and validate user feedback, detecting errors in class type information, relation type information, and entity consistency. This preliminary filtering ensures that only high-quality, error-free feedback reaches the training process, improving training reliability without adding complex training procedures

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

A filter system acts as an intermediary component between user feedback collection and machine learning model training. This filter uses trained models (autoencoder, anomaly detection) to automatically assess and clean feedback quality, serving as a mediator that protects the training process from poor quality input without requiring direct intervention in the training algorithm itself

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If a filter system is implemented to detect errors in user feedback, then the training data quality is improved, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback quality assessmentVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The filter system is designed to perform multiple functions simultaneously: it detects errors in class type information, validates relation type information, checks entity consistency, and prepares cleaned feedback for training. By consolidating these multiple quality assessment tasks into a single multi-functional filter component, the system achieves comprehensive feedback validation without proportionally increasing system complexity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The filter incorporates trained models (autoencoder model, anomaly detection model) that automatically assess and filter feedback quality without requiring manual review. The system serves itself by using machine learning models to evaluate feedback, reducing the need for human intervention in quality assessment while maintaining high measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
