1Extent of automation
If GAI models are used for computational reasoning tasks, then decision-making capability is improved, but accuracy in counterfactual scenarios deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies universality by developing evaluation frameworks that assess multiple reasoning capabilities (factual reasoning, counterfactual reasoning, causal reasoning) within a single GAI model evaluation system. This allows comprehensive measurement of decision-making capabilities across different scenario types, enabling the selection of models that perform well universally across both factual and counterfactual domains.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs parameter changes by introducing new evaluation metrics (PN and PS values) that specifically measure counterfactual reasoning performance. By changing the parameters of evaluation from traditional accuracy metrics to these new probabilistic necessity and sufficiency metrics, the system can accurately assess and compare models' counterfactual reasoning capabilities, thereby resolving the accuracy deterioration issue.
2Measurement precision
If multiple GAI models are evaluated using PN and PS values, then model selection accuracy is improved, but computational complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the evaluation process into distinct components: factual prompt evaluation, counterfactual prompt evaluation, PN value computation, and PS value computation. This segmented approach allows each component to be optimized independently and enables parallel processing, thereby managing computational complexity while maintaining high model selection accuracy.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces PN and PS values as intermediary metrics that mediate between raw model outputs and final model selection decisions. These intermediary values simplify the comparison process by providing standardized probabilistic measures of reasoning performance, reducing the overall computational complexity of model selection while improving accuracy.
3Measurement precision
If factual and counterfactual prompts are submitted to multiple models, then reasoning performance evaluation is improved, but time consumption increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing and structuring the factual and counterfactual prompts before submitting them to multiple models. This includes preparing standardized prompt formats, pre-computing necessary baseline values, and organizing evaluation criteria in advance. Such preliminary preparations enable more efficient model evaluation, reducing time consumption while maintaining high measurement precision.
4Measurement precision
If GAI models with superior reasoning performance are selected, then problem-solving accuracy is improved, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements feedback mechanisms where PN and PS evaluation results are fed back into the model selection process. This feedback loop enables continuous optimization of model selection based on actual reasoning performance measurements, ensuring that models with superior problem-solving accuracy are selected while managing system complexity through iterative refinement rather than complex upfront design.

AI summary
Systems and methods evaluate computational reasoning performance of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) models. Both a factual prompt and a counterfactual prompt are submitted to both first and second GAI models, thereby generating first factual and counterfactual outputs for the first GAI model and second factual and counterfactual outputs for the second GAI model. Probability of necessity (PN) and probability of sufficiency (PS) values are computed for both the first and second GAI models based on their associated factual output and counterfactual output. The computational reasoning performance of the first GAI model relative to the second GAI model are compared based on the PN and PS values. One of the first or the second GAI models is selected based on the comparison and submitted a target prompt using the selected one of the first and second GAI model.
