Solution Overview

Problem

End users lack the skills to operate prescriptive AI models, and data science groups and business-focused users often work in silos, impeding swift execution, while prescriptive AI models are typically domain-specific and trained with application-dependent data absent from standard training data of other AI models.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that receives natural language inputs, matches them to API calls for prescriptive tasks, identifies parameter values, and executes prescriptive AI models to generate responses, utilizing large language models for intent classification and slot filling to ensure necessary data is obtained.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If prescriptive AI models are made domain-specific with application-dependent data, then model accuracy and relevance improve, but accessibility and ease of operation deteriorate because end users lack the skills to operate these models

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel accuracyVSAvoiduser accessibility
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces an intermediary system that includes a natural language processing interface and an API call generation mechanism. This intermediary translates user-friendly natural language inputs into the complex parameter structures required by domain-specific prescriptive AI models, thereby maintaining high model accuracy while improving user accessibility without requiring users to have specialized skills

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the complex interaction into two distinct layers: a user-facing natural language interface layer and a backend model execution layer. This segmentation allows the prescriptive AI model to remain domain-specific and accurate while the interface layer handles the complexity of data preparation and parameter mapping, making the system accessible to end users

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Reliability

If data science groups and business-focused users work in silos, then each group maintains specialized expertise, but execution speed and collaboration deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespecialized expertiseVSAvoidexecution speed
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a universal interface system that serves multiple functions: it accepts natural language from business users, automatically generates appropriate API calls, and interfaces with prescriptive AI models. This multi-functional system eliminates the need for direct collaboration between data science groups and business users, allowing both to maintain their specialized roles while achieving swift execution through the universal interface

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

3Loss of time

If standard training data of AI models is used, then model development time is reduced, but domain-specific accuracy and relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemodel development timeVSAvoiddomain-specific accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-configuring API calls with the correct structure, parameter mappings, and data formats required by domain-specific prescriptive AI models. This preliminary setup allows the system to quickly process user inputs without requiring time-consuming model retraining, thereby reducing development time while maintaining domain-specific accuracy through pre-established connections to specialized models

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

An example operation may include one or more of receiving at least one natural language input via a software application, determining that the at least one natural language input matches an application programming interface (API) call from among a plurality of API calls configured for prescriptive tasks, identifying at least one parameter value of the API call from the at least one natural language input and transmitting the API call to a prescriptive artificial intelligence (AI) model, executing the prescriptive AI model on the at least one parameter value to generate a natural language response, and displaying the natural language response via a graphical user interface (GUI) of the software application.
