Solution Overview

Problem

Existing automated models for evaluating schools provide limited accuracy due to reliance on single scores and lack of integration with decision-making systems, reducing the precision of property valuations and decisions.

Innovation Solution

A machine learning model that integrates statistical, feedback, and background information to generate a multi-dimensional safety indicator, including academic, social safety, and staff safety dimensions, which is then used to enhance decision-making processes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a single quality score is used to evaluate schools, then the evaluation process is simple, but the accuracy and comprehensiveness of the evaluation is limited

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidmodel complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the single quality score into multiple dimension-specific scores (academic quality, safety, diversity, etc.). Each dimension is evaluated separately using relevant features, and then combined to form a comprehensive evaluation. This segmentation allows for more precise measurement in each dimension while maintaining manageability through modular processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions from a one-dimensional single score evaluation to a multi-dimensional evaluation system. By adding multiple dimensions (academic, safety, diversity, etc.), the system achieves more comprehensive and accurate school assessments without being overwhelmed by complexity, as each dimension can be processed independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

2Loss of information

If academic information only is used for school evaluation, then the data processing is straightforward, but the evaluation results lack comprehensiveness

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinformation completenessVSAvoiddata integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges multiple data sources including academic information, safety data, diversity metrics, and other relevant features into a unified evaluation framework. By combining these diverse information sources, the system reduces information loss and provides comprehensive school assessments while managing complexity through integrated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation system is designed to handle multiple types of data (academic, safety, diversity, etc.) through a universal processing framework. This multi-functional approach allows the system to process various information sources consistently, reducing information loss without proportionally increasing complexity through standardized handling procedures.

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

3Reliability

If automated models are separated from decision-making systems, then the model development is independent, but the precision of property valuations and decisions is reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision precisionVSAvoidsystem integration complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the automated evaluation model with the decision-making system, allowing evaluation results to directly inform property valuation and admission decisions. This integration improves decision precision by ensuring that comprehensive school evaluations are directly applied in decision-making processes, while system integration complexity is managed through coordinated architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

AI summary

In some implementations, an analysis system may receive, from a user device, an indication of a property. The analysis system may map the indication of the property to a plurality of possible locations of a plurality of possible schools associated with the property. The analysis system may output, to the user device, an indication of the plurality of possible locations. The analysis system may receive, from the user device, an indication of a selected location from the plurality of possible locations. The analysis system may provide a representation of the selected location to the machine learning model in order to receive the multi-dimensional safety indicator. The multi-dimensional safety indicator may include a plurality of scores associated with a respective plurality of dimensions. The analysis system may output, to the user device, a data structure encoding the multi-dimensional safety indicator.
