Solution Overview

Problem

Existing recommendation systems struggle to dynamically adapt content presentation based on real-time user interactions and preferences, often failing to balance relevance with user privacy and efficiency, leading to suboptimal engagement and reduced likelihood of desired outcomes.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing a trained generative AI to present media content, monitor user responses, detect mentions of recommended items, generate labeled training examples, and refine its presentation based on user feedback and commercial outcomes, leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) for personalized and contextually rich interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If existing recommendation systems present content based on static algorithms, then system complexity is reduced, but user engagement and relevance deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedynamic adaptation to user preferencesVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements continuous feedback loops where user interactions (clicks, views, conversions) are monitored and fed back to the ML model. This enables the system to dynamically adjust content recommendations based on real-time user behavior, improving adaptability while managing complexity through automated feedback processing

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation system transitions from static algorithms to dynamic ML models that continuously learn and adapt. The system dynamically adjusts content presentation based on user preferences, behavioral patterns, and contextual factors, enabling real-time personalization without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Measurement precision

If recommendation systems collect extensive user data for personalization, then relevance improves, but user privacy concerns worsen

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalization accuracyVSAvoiduser privacy concerns
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies different data collection and processing strategies to different user segments and contexts. Sensitive information is handled with enhanced privacy protections, while less sensitive data is used for personalization. This localized approach to data handling maintains personalization accuracy while addressing privacy concerns in specific areas

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces privacy-preserving technologies as intermediaries between data collection and model training. Techniques such as differential privacy, federated learning, and anonymization act as mediators that enable personalization while protecting user privacy, allowing the system to achieve both goals simultaneously

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Productivity

If the system provides detailed content recommendations, then user engagement improves, but information overload worsens

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidinformation volume
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs partial action by selectively presenting only the most relevant content recommendations rather than all available options. ML algorithms rank and filter content to show users a curated subset of recommendations, maintaining high engagement while avoiding information overload through intelligent selection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #16Partial or excessive action

Solution Approach 2:

The recommendation system segments content into categories, priorities, and relevance levels. Instead of presenting all information at once, the system divides recommendations into manageable segments based on user preferences and contextual relevance, allowing users to consume information in organized portions rather than overwhelming volumes

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Methods and systems provide for rich media presentation of recommendations in generative media. In one embodiment, the system presents, via a trained generative AI, a set of media content to a user in a communication session within a platform, the media content including a number of sorted recommended items; monitors and quantifies one or more user responses from the user to the presented media content and one or more associated generative responses from the trained generative AI; based on the monitoring and quantifying, detects one or more mentions of the user to one of the plurality of sorted recommended items; generates, from the one or more detected mentions, one or more labeled training examples; and further trains the trained generative AI based on the one or more labeled training examples to improve the presentation of the media content in future communication sessions.
