Solution Overview

Problem

AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), often hallucinate or provide inaccurate information due to gaps or inaccuracies in their training data, posing risks in applications where mistakes can have dire consequences, and there are unresolved issues with attribution and compensation for intellectual property used in model training.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a hybrid 'expert in the loop' AI system with a tiered curation process involving administrators, curators, and end-users to ensure accurate and trustworthy information, using a revenue-sharing system to incentivize expert contributions to the training data, and incorporating feedback mechanisms to refine the AI system.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If AI systems use large-scale training data to improve performance and accuracy, then the model's capabilities are enhanced, but the risk of hallucinations and inaccurate information increases due to gaps and inaccuracies in training data

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of AI informationVSAvoidtrustworthiness of AI outputs
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a preliminary curation process where experts review and validate training data before it is used to train AI models. This advance verification ensures that only accurate and trustworthy information is incorporated into the training dataset, preventing hallucinations and inaccuracies from propagating through the model outputs.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary layer of expert curators who act as a bridge between raw training data and the AI model. These experts verify the accuracy and reliability of information, providing a filtering mechanism that enhances both the precision and trustworthiness of the final AI outputs without requiring changes to the fundamental training process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Reliability

If AI systems implement expert curation processes to reduce hallucinations and improve accuracy, then the reliability of outputs is enhanced, but the complexity and time required for data preparation and model refinement increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetrustworthiness of AI outputsVSAvoidcomplexity of curation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent divides the expert curation process into distinct segments or tiers, where different levels of expertise handle different aspects of data verification. This segmentation allows the complex curation task to be distributed across multiple specialized reviewers, making the overall process more manageable and scalable while maintaining high reliability standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent applies partial curation action by focusing expert review on only the most critical or high-impact portions of the training data, rather than reviewing every single data point. This selective approach maintains reliability for key information while reducing the overall complexity and time investment required for the curation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

3Measurement precision

If AI systems implement comprehensive expert curation and verification processes, then the accuracy and trustworthiness of information is improved, but the time required for data curation and model training increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of AI informationVSAvoidtime for data curation
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary filtering and pre-screening of training data using automated tools and criteria before expert review. This preliminary action removes obviously inaccurate or low-quality data points in advance, reducing the volume of data that requires time-consuming expert verification while still maintaining high accuracy standards for the final curated dataset.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements partial verification by having experts review only a representative sample of training data or focus on critical sections, rather than manually verifying every data point. This approach maintains high accuracy for the most important information while significantly reducing the total time investment required for the curation process.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

4Productivity

If AI systems use automated training processes to improve productivity and reduce costs, then the speed of model development is enhanced, but the ability to ensure data quality and reduce hallucinations deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvespeed of model developmentVSAvoidquality of training data
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent merges automated training processes with expert curation workflows into an integrated system. Automated tools handle data collection, initial filtering, and model training at scale, while expert reviewers verify critical data quality aspects. This combination maintains the productivity benefits of automation while incorporating the reliability benefits of human expertise.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary quality assurance layer that operates between automated data processing and model training. This intermediary layer uses a combination of automated validation scripts and expert review to ensure data quality without significantly slowing down the overall development process, maintaining both productivity and reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)
