Abstract
The computer implementation method enables a Large-Scale Language Model (LLM) to operate in a secure and privacy-protected manner. This method includes the steps of identifying entities within a query, where the query is configured to be processed by the LLM; generating a modified query by substituting the identified entities with semantically similar entities; and submitting the modified query to the LLM. The present invention can be used in a variety of applications, including, but is not limited to, several anticipated use cases in customer service, cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, and medical services.
