Task-based design evaluation
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- selecting a task to evaluate a proposed design against an existing design;
receiving a proposed feature vector for the proposed design;
retrieving an existing feature vector for the existing design; and
evaluating if the proposed design has a more desirable estimated score than an existing score for the existing design based on the proposed feature vector and the existing feature vector for the selected task.

Abstract
A proposed feature vector for a first deign is received and an existing feature vector for an existing design is retrieved for a given task. The proposed design is evaluated against the existing design using task-based scores associated with each design and based on their performances for the given task.

9. A method, comprising:
-
selecting a task to evaluate variations of a model design;
receiving a plurality of feature vectors, one feature vector representing the model design, and the remaining feature vectors representing the variations to the model design;
assigning scores to the feature vectors as a function of applying the task to the model design and the variations of the model design; and
learning a mapping between the scores and the feature vectors. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. A method, comprising:
-
acquiring a task to evaluate a design;
acquiring the design and one or more additional designs;
generating features for the design and the one or more additional designs;
scoring the design and the one or more additional designs using the task; and
evaluating correlation strengths between variations in the features against variations in scores for the design and the one or more additional designs. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21)

22. A data structure, implemented in a computer readable medium, for evaluating designs, the data structure comprising:
-
a plurality of features defining aspects of a design;
a feature vector string representing a concatenation of the plurality of vectors; and
a task-based score for the feature vector string which is dynamically resolved by processing a mapping function for a selected task. - View Dependent Claims (23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29)

30. A system, comprising:
-
first and second designs;
first and second feature vectors, wherein the first feature vector represents the first design and the second feature vector represents the second design; and
a design evaluator that evaluates a first task-based score associated with the first feature vector against a second task-based score associated with the second feature vector for a given selected task. - View Dependent Claims (31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37)

38. A computer readable medium for evaluating designs having instructions thereon, the instructions when accessed performing the method comprising:
-
receiving first and second feature vectors associated with first and second designs;
identifying a task for measuring the performance of the first and second designs against one another;
mapping the second feature vector to a second task-based score based on the task; and
evaluating a first task-based score associated with the first feature vector against the second task-based score. - View Dependent Claims (39, 40, 41, 42)
