Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models may inaccurately determine the probability of a dataset including a characteristic when the training data is insufficient, particularly when the training data lacks a threshold number of datasets, leading to performance issues under varying operating conditions.

Innovation Solution

A system assesses the capabilities of a machine learning model by analyzing datasets under different conditions, selecting reference datasets with similar conditions to the trial dataset, and adjusting system parameters to improve performance, while suggesting the addition of more reference datasets when necessary.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If the training data includes a sufficient number of training datasets, then the machine learning model accurately determines the probability, but the device complexity and data requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprobability determination accuracyVSAvoidtraining data requirements
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary assessment of operating conditions and reference dataset availability before executing the machine learning model. By evaluating whether sufficient reference datasets matching the trial data's operating conditions exist beforehand, the system可以避免 inaccurate probability determinations without requiring the model to handle all possible conditions during training

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of reference dataset selection based on operating conditions. Instead of using a fixed training dataset for all conditions, the system dynamically selects reference datasets that match the operating conditions of the trial data, allowing accurate probability determination with targeted, condition-specific reference data rather than comprehensive training data

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If the system selects reference datasets with similar operating conditions, then the performance under varying conditions improves, but the system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary analysis of operating conditions by examining metadata associated with the trial data before selecting reference datasets. This upfront evaluation of operating conditions allows the system to efficiently match and select appropriate reference datasets without complex real-time processing during model execution

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system uses operating condition metadata as an intermediary between the trial data and reference datasets. This metadata acts as a matching criterion that simplifies the selection process, enabling the system to find suitable reference datasets through condition-based filtering rather than complex similarity computations

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If the system assesses model capabilities before execution, then the accuracy and confidence in results improve, but the processing time increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs a quick preliminary assessment of operating conditions and reference dataset availability before executing the machine learning model. This brief evaluation checks whether sufficient matching reference data exists, providing a fast capability assessment that prevents execution when conditions are inadequate without requiring time-consuming detailed analysis

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

In some examples, a system includes a storage device; and processing circuitry having access to the storage device. The processing circuitry is configured to receive information indicative of a media dataset, where the media dataset corresponds to an object; and analyze the media dataset to compute a corresponding set of operating condition weight values. Additionally, the processing circuitry is configured to compare the set of operating condition weight values corresponding to the media dataset with a plurality of sets of reference operating condition weight values that each correspond to a different reference media dataset of a plurality of reference media datasets; and determine, based on the comparison of the set of operating condition weight values with the plurality of sets of reference operating condition weight values, an indication of a capability of a trained machine learning model to correctly verify the object in the media dataset.
