Solution Overview

Problem

Existing data-sharing systems fail to effectively evaluate the extrinsic properties of data and provide fair incentive allocation, leading to inefficient data valuation and unsustainable data sharing, as they lack comprehensive data valuation methods and machine learning approaches.

Innovation Solution

A data-sharing system with a multi-angle alliance guided data valuation module and coreset-based Shapley value computation, which uses advanced machine learning and cloud-computing resources to evaluate data value from both individual and global perspectives, and efficiently distribute incentives based on data quality and contribution.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If comprehensive data valuation methods using machine learning are implemented, then data valuation accuracy is improved, but computation complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedata valuation accuracyVSAvoidcomputation complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the data valuation process into multiple independent modules: data quality assessment module, data relevance assessment module, and incentive allocation module. Each module handles a specific aspect of valuation (quality metrics, relevance to tasks, fair distribution), breaking down the complex computation into manageable segments that can be processed separately and efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a computing system acting as an intermediary between data providers and data consumers. This intermediary performs the computationally intensive valuation calculations using machine learning models, then provides simplified valuation results and incentive allocations to the parties involved, shielding them from the underlying computational complexity while maintaining high accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If multi-angle data valuation is performed to evaluate extrinsic properties, then incentive allocation fairness is improved, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveincentive allocation fairnessVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the valuation perspective into distinct segments: individual data consumer needs assessment, global data market value assessment, and task-specific relevance assessment. Each segment evaluates data from a different angle and contributes to the overall fair incentive allocation, allowing comprehensive multi-angle valuation while maintaining manageable system complexity through modular design.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal valuation framework that can assess data from multiple perspectives (individual consumer needs, global market value, task-specific relevance) using a single integrated system. This multi-functional approach allows the system to handle diverse valuation requirements across different scenarios while maintaining consistent fairness criteria through the unified computing system.

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

3Productivity

If advanced machine learning approaches are used for data valuation, then valuation effectiveness is improved, but ease of operation deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevaluation effectivenessVSAvoidease of operation
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The computing system serves as an intermediary that handles all complex machine learning operations internally. Data providers and data consumers interact with a simplified interface that automatically performs advanced valuation calculations using machine learning models, extracting features, assessing quality and relevance, and determining fair incentives without requiring users to understand or configure the underlying complex algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements self-service automation where the machine learning models automatically perform data feature extraction, quality assessment, relevance evaluation, and incentive calculation without manual intervention. The computing system autonomously processes valuation requests, applies trained models, and generates results, eliminating the need for operators to manually configure or manage the complex machine learning processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

AI summary

A data sharing system for sharing datasets of data providers to data consumers and transferring incentives from the data consumers to the data providers in response to the data-sharing. The system includes a multi-angle alliance guided data valuation module for fair allocation of the incentives between the data consumers. The system also includes a flexible-scenario routed dataset comparison module for evaluating the data provided by the data providers via one of a plurality of evaluating routes. The system provides enhanced use of computer cloud and enables both data alliance and growing capacity of artificial intelligence (AI) supermodels for sustainable data sharing. Moreover, the system uses coreset based Shapley valuation method for efficient data valuation.
