Solution Overview

Problem

Existing methods for evaluating machine learning models primarily focus on overall performance compatibility, lacking the ability to assess performance across multiple groups or viewpoints.

Innovation Solution

An information processing device that acquires conditions for evaluation data, calculates performance indices for a machine learning model before and after updates using specified data sets, and computes a deterioration index to evaluate performance changes across various groups.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of operation

If overall performance evaluation is used, then evaluation simplicity is improved, but evaluation comprehensiveness deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation simplicityVSAvoidevaluation comprehensiveness
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the evaluation process into multiple dimensions by introducing condition-specific performance indexes. Instead of a single overall evaluation, the system divides evaluation into multiple conditions (e.g., different data sets, scenarios, or operational contexts), calculating performance indexes for each condition separately. This segmentation allows comprehensive evaluation across multiple aspects while maintaining systematic simplicity through structured aggregation of condition-specific results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Loss of information

If multiple groups are considered in evaluation, then evaluation comprehensiveness is improved, but evaluation complexity deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation comprehensivenessVSAvoidevaluation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal evaluation framework that handles multiple groups and conditions through a unified approach. The system uses a standardized performance index calculation method that can be applied across different conditions and groups, with a single deterioration index formula that aggregates results from multiple sources. This multi-functional framework comprehensively evaluates multiple groups while avoiding the complexity of separate evaluation systems for each group.

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