Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional systems for detecting AI-generated content lack the ability to identify the specific AI model used for generation, are vulnerable to adversarial inputs, and do not provide transparency in mixed-authorship content, making them resource-intensive and ineffective in protecting confidential information.

Innovation Solution

A transformer-based detection model fine-tuned on a balanced dataset of model-generated and human-generated data, employing a shifting window analysis and multiple transformer-type machine learning models (T5, BERT, RoBERTa) to accurately detect and source AI-generated content, while mitigating bias and providing explainability.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional automated data monitoring techniques are used to detect confidential information, then detection capability is provided, but the systems are time and resource intensive and not guaranteed to detect all confidential information

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidtime and resource intensive
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the detection task into multiple specialized transformer models (T5, BERT, RoBERTa), each trained to detect specific types of confidential information or patterns. This division allows parallel processing of different data aspects, improving both detection reliability and processing efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts detection parameters such as confidence thresholds, window sizes, and model selection based on the specific data being analyzed. This allows the system to optimize detection sensitivity and speed for different types of content, reducing unnecessary computational overhead while maintaining high detection rates

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Reliability

If digital signatures are used to verify content authenticity, then security is provided, but user participation and cooperation are required and not all content types are amenable to digital signatures

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovesecurityVSAvoiduser participation required
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The transformer-based detection system operates autonomously to identify and verify confidential information without requiring user intervention. The model automatically analyzes content, detects patterns, and flags potential issues, eliminating the need for user participation while maintaining security

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The detection system is designed to handle multiple content types including text, code, structured data, and unstructured data through a unified transformer architecture. This multi-functional approach replaces the need for type-specific verification methods like digital signatures, providing universal security across all content formats

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

3Reliability

If existing solutions for detecting AI-generated content are used, then detection is provided, but the ability to identify the specific AI model is lacking and vulnerability to adversarial inputs exists

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedetection capabilityVSAvoidmodel identification accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system adds a new dimension of analysis by examining subtle statistical patterns, perplexity metrics, and linguistic features that are characteristic of specific AI models. This multi-dimensional approach enables precise model identification beyond simple detection, allowing the system to distinguish between different AI-generated content sources

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

Solution Approach 2:

The transformer models are pre-trained on diverse datasets including adversarial examples and edge cases. This preliminary exposure to adversarial inputs during training enables the system to recognize and resist such attacks during deployment, improving robustness before actual detection occurs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #9Preliminary anti-action

AI summary

A computer-implemented method for processing input data and determining a source of model-generated data in the input data. The method can be performed by at least one computer processor executing computer-readable instructions tangibly stored on at least one computer-readable medium comprising the steps of preprocessing the input data to clean and normalize the input data and generating in response normalized data, detecting if the model-generated data is present within the normalized data, and determining, based on a final score data, the source of the model-generated data.
