Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If separate application of individual XAI techniques is implemented, then XAI functionality is provided, but user convenience deteriorates and system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveXAI functionalityVSAvoiduser convenience

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments XAI functionality into independent, pluggable algorithm modules (e.g., LRP, GradCAM, IG sub-modules) that can be separately developed and maintained while being unified through a common manager interface, resolving the contradiction between providing diverse XAI functionality and maintaining ease of operation

Inventive Principle:

Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The XAI library module is designed as a universal platform that can accommodate multiple different XAI algorithms through standardized interfaces and configuration files, allowing a single system to provide diverse XAI functionality without requiring separate application processes for each technique

Inventive Principle:

Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

2Adaptability or versatility

If separate application of individual XAI techniques is implemented, then XAI functionality is provided, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveXAI functionalityVSAvoidsystem complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The user manager module and kernel manager module serve as intermediary layers between the diverse XAI algorithms and the user interface, abstracting away the complexity of individual algorithm implementations while maintaining access to multiple XAI techniques through unified configuration and management mechanisms

Inventive Principle:

Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If separate implementation of XAI libraries is required, then XAI algorithms can be applied, but ease of operation deteriorates due to additional installation and implementation steps

Engineering Contradiction:

ImproveXAI algorithm applicationVSAvoidinstallation and implementation

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

Multiple XAI algorithm implementations and their supporting libraries are merged into a single integrated XAI library module that can be installed once, eliminating the need for separate installation and implementation of individual XAI libraries while maintaining the ability to apply various XAI algorithms through configuration

Inventive Principle:

Principle #5Merging (Combining)
