Solution Overview

Problem

Data analytics systems often fail to provide specific actionable tasks to improve entity performance, leading to resource wastage in identifying and enhancing features that do not significantly impact business performance, as they lack the ability to prioritize features based on their influence thresholds.

Innovation Solution

An analytics-driven cloud-implemented recommendation engine uses a machine learning model to identify features and their ranks associated with entity experience attributes, selects a subset of features based on influence thresholds, and generates recommendations to improve feature ranks, thereby conserving resources by focusing on impactful improvements.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If data analytics systems attempt to identify and enhance all features to improve entity performance, then entity performance may improve, but resources are wasted on features that do not significantly impact business performance

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveentity performanceVSAvoidresource wastage
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameter of feature selection by introducing an influence threshold that filters features based on their impact level. Only features exceeding this threshold are selected for enhancement, transforming the approach from comprehensive feature improvement to targeted improvement of high-impact features only.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system applies local quality by treating different features with different levels of attention based on their influence thresholds. High-influence features receive enhancement resources while low-influence features are excluded, creating a non-uniform resource allocation strategy that optimizes overall entity performance without wasting resources on insignificant features.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

2Loss of information

If data analytics systems provide general performance insights without specific actionable tasks, then resource wastage occurs in identifying features, but providing specific recommendations requires complex analysis capabilities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveactionable insightsVSAvoidanalysis complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system introduces an intermediary recommendation engine that translates complex analytics data into specific actionable recommendations. This intermediary layer processes the relationship between feature ranks, influence thresholds, and actionable tasks, converting raw analytical information into practical guidance without requiring end users to perform complex analysis themselves.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback by using machine learning models trained on entity performance data to automatically identify patterns and generate recommendations. The feedback loop continuously refines the recommendation quality by learning from historical performance data, transforming complex analysis into automated, actionable insights.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A device may transmit questionnaires to a set of client devices, wherein the questionnaires include a set of questions that relate to an internal entity experience attribute and/or an external entity experience attribute. The device may receive a set of questionnaire responses and correlate the set of questionnaire responses with contextual data relating to an entity. The device may process, using a machine learning model trained based on data relating to one or more other entities, the set of questionnaire responses and the contextual data to identify a set of features and a set of feature ranks. The device may select a subset of features based on the set of feature ranks and a set of influence thresholds. The device may generate a set of recommendations associated with the subset of features and communicate with one or more other devices to implement the set of recommendations.
