Solution Overview

Problem

Current machine learning model operation management systems lack the capability to efficiently associate tasks with inference data, leading to manual and costly processes for identifying problematic data, especially when issues arise with model accuracy or inference results.

Innovation Solution

A system that includes a task-inference association unit, which calculates associations between system data streams and recorded data streams based on configuration information representing dependencies between the system and the machine learning model, enabling rapid extraction of problematic data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If manual data association is performed to identify problematic data, then association between tasks and inference data can be established, but immense cost and time are incurred

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of problem identificationVSAvoidtime for data association
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-establishing association rules between tasks and inference data streams before problems occur. Configuration information defining these associations is prepared in advance, enabling automatic matching when issues arise, thus eliminating the need for manual data association and significantly reducing identification time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If all related data is collected and checked to identify problematic data, then comprehensive analysis can be performed, but immense cost is incurred

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecompleteness of problem analysisVSAvoidcost of data processing
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts only the necessary association rules and configuration information needed for problem identification, rather than processing all related data. By taking out only the essential association metadata, the system achieves comprehensive problem analysis while minimizing data processing costs and resource consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

3Measurement precision

If 1:1 data association is performed on enormous data, then precise task-inference mapping can be achieved, but manual effort and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprecision of task-inference mappingVSAvoidease of data association
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements self-service by automatically performing task-inference data association using pre-configured association rules. The association mechanism serves itself by autonomously matching inference data to tasks based on configuration information, eliminating manual effort while maintaining precise mapping through systematic rule-based association.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service
