Solution Overview

Problem

AI systems, particularly Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Multimodal Models (LMMs), suffer from hallucinations, inaccuracies, and misinformation due to the quality of training data, posing risks in applications with dire consequences, especially in healthcare.

Innovation Solution

Implementing a hybrid 'expert-in-the-loop' system with a tiered curation process involving administrators, curators, and moderators to ensure that only verified and relevant data is used for training, with attribution and revenue sharing for contributors, and continuous feedback loops for improvement.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If AI systems use large-scale training data to improve performance, then the model's capabilities are enhanced, but the risk of hallucinations and misinformation increases

Engineering Contradiction:
ImproveAI system performanceVSAvoidaccuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the training data into distinct quality tiers (e.g., Tier 1: high-quality verified data, Tier 2: moderate-quality data, Tier 3: lower-quality data). Each tier undergoes different levels of verification and curation. This segmentation allows the system to leverage large-scale data while maintaining reliability by ensuring that critical training examples meet stringent quality standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements preliminary verification and validation steps before data is used for training. This includes automated fact-checking, expert review processes, and consistency checks that occur during the data curation phase. By performing these actions beforehand, the system prevents hallucinations and misinformation from being embedded in the trained model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If expert curation processes are implemented to verify training data, then accuracy and trustworthiness improve, but system complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
ImprovetrustworthinessVSAvoidcuration system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces automated verification tools and intermediary systems that bridge the gap between raw data and expert review. These intermediaries perform initial filtering, validation, and flagging of potential issues, reducing the burden on human experts and simplifying the overall curation process while maintaining high accuracy standards.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent implements self-verification mechanisms where the AI system automatically checks its own training data for consistency, factual accuracy, and potential hallucinations. This self-service approach reduces the need for complex external verification systems while maintaining reliability through automated quality control.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

3Reliability

If comprehensive verification and attribution systems are implemented, then misinformation is reduced, but processing time and computational resources increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemisinformation reductionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies partial verification to different data tiers based on their intended use. Critical training data that directly impacts factual accuracy undergoes comprehensive verification, while less critical data receives streamlined validation. This selective approach reduces overall processing time while maintaining sufficient accuracy for each data category.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual verification processes with automated computational systems that use machine learning models, natural language processing, and knowledge graph matching to verify factual accuracy. This substitution dramatically reduces processing time while maintaining or improving verification quality compared to purely manual processes.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)
