Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing frameworks for customer tracking and profiling are used, then basic predictive tasks can be performed, but the frameworks are not scalable and lack flexibility for on-demand task selection and configuration

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveflexibility for on-demand task selectionVSAvoidframework complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system is divided into distinct modular components: a predictive trait UI for user interaction, an orchestrator for workflow management, and a predictions service for model execution. Each module handles specific functions independently, enabling flexible configuration of on-demand predictive tasks while maintaining manageable system complexity through clear separation of concerns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The predictive trait system is designed as a universal framework that can handle multiple types of predictive tasks through a common architecture. The orchestrator manages diverse workflows (model training, evaluation, deployment) using standardized processes, and the predictions service can execute different machine learning models for various user trait predictions, providing adaptability without requiring separate specialized systems for each task type.

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

2Extent of automation

If existing customer profiling frameworks are used, then basic tracking is possible, but automated workflows for model creation, evaluation, and deployment are not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveautomated workflow executionVSAvoidtransparency of predictive task execution
Core Design Contradiction:
Extent of automationVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The orchestrator implements feedback mechanisms that track and report the status of automated workflows throughout the model lifecycle. It monitors progress through different stages (training, evaluation, deployment) and provides visibility into system operations through the predictive trait UI, ensuring transparency while maintaining automation efficiency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The orchestrator serves as an intermediary layer between the user interface and the predictions service, managing the automated workflows for model creation, evaluation, and deployment. It coordinates tasks across different components, automating complex processes while maintaining observability through standardized interfaces and status reporting that preserve execution transparency.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If machine learning models are developed manually, then customization is possible, but the process is inefficient and not scalable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel development efficiencyVSAvoidcustomizability of predictive models
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-configuring the framework structure, data pipelines, and model deployment infrastructure in advance. The orchestrator is pre-programmed with workflow templates for common predictive tasks, and the predictions service is pre-established to handle model execution. This preliminary setup enables rapid, efficient model development while maintaining flexibility for customization through configurable parameters and on-demand task selection.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Systems and methods for on-demand creation, evaluation and/or deployment of machine learning (ML) models for computing the value of a predictive trait. System operations include detecting, at a predictive trait user interface (UI), a selection of a predictive trait of a plurality of predictive traits and a selection of a configuration setting for the predictive trait. System operations further include executing, using an orchestrator, an onboarding flow that retrieves user data, a training workflow that generates a trained predictive trait model, and/or an inference workflow that runs the trained predictive trait model to compute predictive trait values for users in a test set. System operations further include generating and displaying, via the predictive trait UI, explanations associated with the trained predictive trait model, the computed predictive trait values, and the test set. The system further transmits computed predictive values to an audience management service for audience generation or user profiling.
