Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If machine learning models are used to analyze data for predictions, then prediction effectiveness is improved, but user understandability of model results deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces an intermediary explanation layer between the machine learning model and the user. This intermediary component translates complex model predictions into human-friendly explanations, allowing users to understand model results without compromising the model's predictive effectiveness. The explanation generator acts as a mediator that bridges the gap between technical model outputs and user comprehension needs.
2Measurement precision
If complex machine learning models are deployed, then prediction accuracy is improved, but model complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the model explanation into distinct components: feature importance analysis, prediction breakdown, and contextual explanations. This segmentation allows the system to manage complexity by breaking down the overall model into understandable parts, maintaining high prediction accuracy while reducing the perceived complexity for users through structured explanation delivery.
3Reliability
If detailed model explanations are provided, then user confidence is improved, but information overload increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies local quality by providing explanations at specific granular levels relevant to each prediction. Instead of overwhelming users with complete model internals, the system delivers targeted explanations focused on the specific features and reasoning relevant to that particular prediction, maintaining user confidence while preventing information overload through selective disclosure.
Solution Approach 2:
The explanation system dynamically adjusts the level of detail based on user interaction and context. The system can provide high-level summaries when needed and drill down into detailed explanations when users request more information, creating a dynamic information delivery mechanism that balances user confidence building with prevention of information overload.
Data Source
AI summary
At a machine learning service, a data structure generated during the training phase of a machine learning model, as well as an input records associated with a result of the model, are analyzed. A first informational data set pertaining to the result, which indicates an alternative result, is generated. The first informational data set is transmitted to a presentation device with a directive to display a visual representation of the data set. In response to an exploration request pertaining to the first informational data set, a second informational data set indicating one or more observations of a training data set used for the model is transmitted to the presentation device.
