Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If AI models are used to create ground truth data from existing ground truth target data, then data diversity and scale are improved, but data quality assurance deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a feedback mechanism where the performance of the data generator is evaluated by comparing generated ground truth data samples against performance threshold values. When the threshold is not met, the system generates new samples and replaces substandard ones, creating a closed-loop quality control system that continuously improves data quality while maintaining AI-generated diversity

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes parameters by introducing performance threshold values and iteratively adjusting the data generation process. By evaluating and regenerating data samples based on these thresholds, the system transforms the quality assurance approach from static to dynamic, maintaining reliability while preserving the scalability benefits of AI generation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If manual quality control is applied to AI-generated data, then data quality is improved, but processing efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service quality control where the data generator automatically evaluates its own output against performance thresholds and performs self-correction by regenerating and replacing substandard samples. This automated self-service mechanism eliminates the need for manual quality control while maintaining high data quality standards

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses AI models to copy and generalize from existing ground truth target data to create new synthetic ground truth data samples. This copying approach with performance threshold evaluation maintains quality characteristics of traditional methods while achieving the scalability needed for large-volume data generation required by modern AI development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

AI summary

Method and apparatus for improving synthetic ground truth data by means of a data generator and for training a target machine learning model. The method includes: providing ground truth data samples which relate to ground truth source data and are synthetically generated by the data generator; comparing a performance of the data generator for the provided ground truth data samples with a performance threshold value; generating anew ground truth data samples for the same ground truth source data by means of the data generator if the performance threshold value for the provided ground truth data samples is not achieved; replacing the ground truth data samples for which the performance threshold value is not achieved with the newly generated ground truth data samples; and training the target machine learning model on the basis of the replaced and provided ground truth data samples.
