Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If users generate multiple distinct machine-learning models separately by inputting variable changes for each model, then they can explore data sets using multiple variables, but the process becomes time-consuming and requires expertise in each machine-learning technique

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAbility to explore data sets using multiple variablesVSAvoidTime required to generate multiple models
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent combines multiple machine-learning model generation processes into a single unified interface. Users can select multiple machine-learning techniques and input variable changes once, and the system automatically generates and compares multiple distinct models across different techniques, eliminating the need to separately input variables for each model and significantly reducing the time required.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a universal interface that works across multiple machine-learning techniques simultaneously. A single interface allows users to apply variable changes to multiple different machine-learning algorithms (e.g., decision trees, neural networks, SVMs) without needing separate interfaces for each technique, making the system multi-functional and eliminating the need for users to learn multiple interfaces.

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

2Adaptability or versatility

If users use differing interfaces for each machine-learning technique, then they can access specific model features, but the complexity of operation increases and ease of use decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAccess to specific model featuresVSAvoidEase of using different interfaces
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a universal graphical user interface that provides consistent access to machine-learning model features across multiple techniques. The interface presents a unified set of controls and options that work with different machine-learning algorithms, eliminating the need for users to learn and switch between multiple different interfaces while still providing access to technique-specific features through the same standardized interface.

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If users manually input variable changes for each distinct model, then they can customize each model, but the device complexity and operational difficulty increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAbility to customize each modelVSAvoidComplexity of the modeling system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges the variable input mechanism into a single shared interface that serves multiple machine-learning models simultaneously. Users define variable changes once in the unified interface, and the system automatically applies these variable changes across all selected machine-learning techniques, eliminating the need for separate input mechanisms for each model and reducing overall system complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent allows users to pre-configure variable changes and model parameters in the unified interface before model generation. The system stores these preliminary configurations and automatically applies them when generating multiple models, reducing the operational complexity of repeatedly inputting the same variable changes for each model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
