Solution Overview

Problem

Existing large language models (LLMs) face limitations in handling capability information due to input token length issues and computational inefficiencies, leading to inaccurate results when matching user needs with service capabilities in ERP systems.

Innovation Solution

Fine-tuning LLMs using Parameter-Efficient Fine Tuning (PEFT) and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) techniques to create a fine-tuned LLM that understands capability definitions, leveraging bidirectional encoders and generative adversarial networks to improve contextual understanding and reduce computation time.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If LLMs are used to match user needs with service capabilities, then contextual understanding is improved, but input token length limitations and computational inefficiency occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontextual understanding accuracyVSAvoidcomputation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the capability definitions into structured formats with specific sections (intent, description, API) and processes them through bidirectional encoders separately before generating matching results. This segmentation reduces the token processing burden while maintaining contextual understanding.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent changes the parameter of model architecture by introducing bidirectional encoders and generative adversarial networks, transforming the unidirectional processing into bidirectional contextual analysis. This parameter change improves understanding accuracy without linearly increasing computation time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Measurement precision

If LLMs process capability definitions, then matching accuracy is improved, but input token length becomes unwieldy

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracyVSAvoidinput token length
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLength of moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides capability definitions into structured sections (intent, description, API) and processes them through bidirectional encoders that capture contextual relationships without requiring the entire text to be processed as a single token sequence, effectively managing token length.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces bidirectional encoding that processes text in both forward and backward directions, adding a dimensional aspect to token processing. This allows the model to understand contextual relationships without proportionally increasing the linear token length burden.

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

3Productivity

If traditional search methods are used for capability matching, then computation time is reduced, but accuracy in understanding human language nuances is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesearch speedVSAvoidlanguage understanding accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by using bidirectional encoders to pre-process and encode capability definitions into structured representations with captured contextual relationships. This preliminary encoding enables faster subsequent matching while maintaining high language understanding accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces bidirectional encoders and generative adversarial networks as intermediary components between traditional search methods and LLM processing. These intermediaries pre-process and structure the data, enabling both speed and accuracy in capability matching.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

4Adaptability or versatility

If LLM input tokens are increased to handle more capabilities, then matching comprehensiveness is improved, but computation time grows exponentially

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecapability matching comprehensivenessVSAvoidcomputation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments capability processing into modular bidirectional encoder units that can handle multiple capabilities independently. This segmentation allows comprehensive matching across many capabilities without exponentially increasing computation time, as each segment processes information efficiently and independently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

In an example embodiment, capability definitions are leveraged to fine-tune an LLM, producing a fine-tuned LLM that is specifically designed to handle capability definitions, without the need to provide such capability definitions as input tokens to an LLM. This fine-tuned LLM has a deeper understanding of the capabilities of a system than generic LLMs.
