Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If a complex evaluation framework is used to assess multiple aspects of model performance, then the comprehensiveness of evaluation is improved, but the complexity of the evaluation process increases
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation framework is segmented into distinct evaluation modules, each assessing a specific aspect of model performance (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score). This segmentation allows comprehensive evaluation while maintaining organizational clarity and reducing overall process complexity through modular design.
Solution Approach 2:
A structured evaluation framework acts as an intermediary between the model output and the final assessment. This framework organizes multiple evaluation metrics and their relationships, mediating the complexity of assessing multiple performance aspects simultaneously.
2Measurement precision
If multiple evaluation metrics are considered to provide a comprehensive assessment, then the accuracy of model evaluation is improved, but the time required for evaluation increases
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation framework is designed to perform preliminary organization and structuring of evaluation metrics before actual evaluation execution. By pre-defining the evaluation architecture and metric relationships, the actual evaluation process becomes more efficient and less time-consuming while maintaining comprehensive accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The framework enables selective application of evaluation metrics based on specific needs. Rather than always evaluating all possible metrics, the system can apply partial evaluation to the most relevant metrics, reducing evaluation time while maintaining sufficient accuracy for the given context.
3Loss of information
If detailed analysis of evaluation results is performed to understand model performance deeply, then the insight quality is improved, but the computational resources required increase
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation framework extracts and highlights the most critical insights from comprehensive model performance analysis. By identifying and presenting only the essential evaluation results and key performance indicators, the system maintains high insight quality while reducing the computational resources required for detailed analysis.
Solution Approach 2:
The framework creates a structured representation or copy of the evaluation results that captures essential information in an optimized format. This structured copy enables detailed analysis and insight generation with reduced computational overhead compared to processing the full raw evaluation data.
