Solution Overview

Problem

Existing machine learning model performance evaluation methods require developers to manually insert ad-hoc and custom code to view performance metrics, which is inefficient and resource-intensive, especially for end-user devices with limited computational resources.

Innovation Solution

The development of user interfaces that provide graphical visualizations of machine learning model performance metrics without the need for ad-hoc or custom code, using a UI engine and API to generate and display metrics such as accuracy, precision, and recall, based on output data and confusion matrices, allowing for easier evaluation of model performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If developers manually insert ad-hoc and custom code to view performance metrics, then they can access detailed model performance data, but the process becomes inefficient and resource-intensive

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance metrics evaluationVSAvoidmodel evaluation efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically generates and displays performance metrics through a UI engine and API without requiring developers to manually insert code. The model evaluation process serves itself by automatically computing metrics like accuracy, precision, and recall from the model output and confusion matrix, eliminating the need for manual intervention while maintaining comprehensive measurement capabilities

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

A UI engine and API act as intermediaries between the machine learning model and the developer. Instead of developers directly inserting custom code to extract metrics, the intermediary system automatically processes model output, computes performance metrics, and presents them through a user-friendly interface, thereby improving efficiency while maintaining measurement precision

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If complex custom code is used to generate performance metrics, then comprehensive model evaluation is achieved, but device computational resources are heavily consumed

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel performance measurementVSAvoidend-user device computational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The computationally intensive metric generation process is extracted from the end-user device and performed server-side or during model training. The UI engine and API retrieve pre-computed performance data from the confusion matrix and model output, displaying comprehensive metrics without requiring the end-user device to perform heavy computational operations, thus preserving device resources while maintaining measurement comprehensiveness

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Loss of information

If ad-hoc code is inserted to view metrics, then developers can access performance data, but the complexity of the development process increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveperformance metrics accessibilityVSAvoidcode implementation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of requiring developers to write custom code to access performance metrics, the system creates a standardized copy interface through the UI engine and API. This interface provides pre-formatted performance data in a consistent structure, allowing developers to view comprehensive metrics through standard API calls rather than implementing custom metric extraction logic, thereby reducing code complexity while maintaining full metrics accessibility

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying
