Solution Overview

Problem

Existing sticker recommendation models generate sub-optimal outputs due to insufficient training data, noisy data, overfitting, and architectural limitations, leading to irrelevant and time-consuming sticker selection processes in messaging applications.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for evaluating the quality of sticker recommendation models using automated techniques, enabling objective comparisons and dynamic model selection based on quality metrics, thereby improving the relevance and efficiency of sticker suggestions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If automated evaluation techniques are implemented, then model quality assessment becomes objective and efficient, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically evaluates sticker recommendation models using self-contained automated techniques that compare model outputs against predefined criteria without requiring external manual assessment, enabling the system to self-assess and select optimal models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

An evaluation module is introduced as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between model training and deployment, providing objective quality assessment through structured comparison metrics before models are selected for production use

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If dynamic model selection is implemented, then sticker recommendation quality improves, but computational overhead increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverecommendation qualityVSAvoidcomputational overhead
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

Models are evaluated and ranked in advance using automated techniques before deployment, creating a pre-assessed model hierarchy that allows the system to quickly select appropriate models without performing complex real-time evaluations during sticker recommendation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts model selection based on changing parameters such as conversation context, user preferences, and performance metrics, transitioning between different model complexity levels to balance quality and computational efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Examples described herein relate to systems and methods for automatic evaluation of graphical element recommendations, such as sticker recommendations. According to some examples, a system accesses a set of text queries and provides each text query as input to a graphical element recommendation machine learning model. The graphical element recommendation machine learning model is trained to generate, based on a given text query, one or more graphical element recommendations for use in a message in a context of a messaging interface of an interaction application. The system obtains, from the graphical element recommendation machine learning model, at least one graphical element recommendation for each text query. The system generates a model quality score for the graphical element recommendation machine learning model by applying a model quality metric to the graphical element recommendations. Output indicative of the model quality score may be presented at a user device.
