Solution Overview

Problem

Current techniques do not provide sufficient analysis of machine learning models in the context of a production-based system, making it difficult to evaluate their performance and stability before deployment.

Innovation Solution

A system is introduced that allows machine learning models to be tested and evaluated before deployment by replaying event data at a specified transaction rate, measuring operational metrics, and adjusting configurations based on threshold conditions to ensure system stability and performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If machine learning models are deployed directly to production systems, then the system can provide services quickly, but the system stability and performance cannot be sufficiently analyzed beforehand

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem stabilityVSAvoiddeployment time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a pre-production testing environment where machine learning models are evaluated using replayed event data before being deployed to production. This preliminary action allows operational metrics to be measured and analyzed in advance, ensuring system stability and performance requirements are met before actual deployment, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability assessment and deployment speed.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Measurement precision

If event data is replayed at high transaction rates to simulate production load, then realistic performance evaluation is achieved, but system resources are consumed heavily

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance evaluation accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a configurable transaction rate parameter that allows the replay system to operate at partial production load levels. Users can adjust the transaction rate to balance between achieving sufficient performance evaluation accuracy and consuming acceptable computational resources. This partial action approach enables realistic testing without requiring full production-scale resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Manufacturing precision

If operational metrics are monitored continuously during model testing, then system performance can be optimized, but the complexity of the testing system increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance optimizationVSAvoidtesting system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Manufacturing precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a multi-functional operational metrics collection mechanism that simultaneously gathers multiple performance indicators (latency, throughput, error rates, resource utilization) during the replay testing process. This universal approach allows comprehensive model performance optimization without requiring separate specialized testing systems for each metric, thus managing complexity while achieving precision.

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