Solution Overview

Problem

Machine learning models are complex and difficult to understand, especially after modifications, requiring intensive processes to review files listing weights, edges, and nodes without further elaboration, making it challenging for engineers to grasp changes and improvements.

Innovation Solution

A mechanism using a virtual reality headset to visualize and manipulate machine learning models in a three-dimensional space, allowing users to interact with nodes, edges, and weights through gestures, and visualize changes in parameters such as opacity, color, and border size, enabling execution of modified models.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If machine learning models are made complex with many layers and high dimensions to improve accuracy, then model accuracy is improved, but model understandability deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidmodel understandability
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDifficulty of detecting and measuring

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the machine learning model in three-dimensional space that mirrors the structure and data flow of the original model. This virtual representation allows users to interact with and understand the model without affecting the actual model's accuracy or complexity. The virtual model includes nodes, edges, and data packets that replicate the real model's behavior and weight adjustments.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transitions the representation of the machine learning model from two-dimensional visualizations or text files to a three-dimensional virtual space. This additional dimension provides more intuitive spatial relationships between nodes and data flow, making it easier to understand complex model structures and weight changes without reducing model accuracy.

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

2Loss of information

If engineers review files listing weights, edges, and nodes to understand model changes, then model analysis is performed, but the process becomes intensive and time-consuming

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel analysis completenessVSAvoidanalysis time
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of informationVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements visual feedback mechanisms where the virtual model dynamically updates to reflect changes in the real model. When weights are adjusted or nodes are modified in the virtual representation, these changes are immediately visible and can be interacted with, providing continuous feedback to engineers about model behavior and changes without requiring extensive file review.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces a virtual model as an intermediary between the engineer and the actual machine learning model. This intermediary provides an intuitive interface for understanding and manipulating model parameters, eliminating the need for engineers to directly interpret complex weight files and edge listings, thus reducing analysis time while maintaining completeness.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If weights are adjusted to optimize model performance, then model accuracy is improved, but the abstract nature of weight values makes them difficult to interpret and manipulate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoidweight manipulation ease
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent uses color coding in the virtual model to represent different weight values and their changes. Nodes, edges, and data packets can be visualized with colors indicating the magnitude and direction of weight adjustments, making abstract weight values interpretable and manipulable through visual cues rather than numerical data alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #32Color changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent transforms abstract weight parameters into visual properties in the virtual model, such as node size, edge thickness, or position in three-dimensional space. This allows engineers to manipulate weights by interacting with visual elements rather than adjusting numerical values, improving ease of operation while maintaining the ability to optimize model accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Systems and methods for visual manipulation and execution of machine learning models rendered in a three-dimensional space. In some aspects, the system receives configuration data representing a machine learning model and generates a three-dimensional representation of the machine learning model by (1) generating virtual objects corresponding to nodes and edges of the model and (2) configuring values of virtual object parameters for virtual objects based on associated weight matrices from the configuration data. The system detects a user gesture that indicates a command to perform a modification of the machine learning model and, responsive to detecting the user gesture, causes execution of a modified machine learning model. The system generates a new three-dimensional representation of the modified machine learning model.
