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 interactions and feedback to improve engagement and alignment with user intent.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If existing recommendation systems present content to users, then content delivery is achieved, but user engagement is suboptimal and desired outcomes are reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidlikelihood of desired outcomes
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system continuously monitors user responses to presented media content and uses this feedback to detect mentions of recommended items. This feedback loop enables the generative AI to learn from user interactions and refine its recommendation strategy, thereby improving engagement and the likelihood of desired outcomes over time

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts content presentation parameters based on monitored user responses and detected mentions. By changing presentation parameters in real-time according to user behavior patterns, the system optimizes engagement and outcome likelihood without relying on static recommendation rules

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Adaptability or versatility

If recommendation systems adapt content presentation dynamically, then relevance to user preferences improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent presentation adaptationVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The generative AI system performs self-improvement by automatically generating labeled training examples from monitored user responses and detected mentions. This self-service capability allows the system to adapt to user preferences autonomously without requiring complex external intervention or manual retraining, thereby managing complexity while maintaining high adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

By using user response monitoring and mention detection as feedback mechanisms, the system achieves dynamic adaptation through a relatively streamlined process. The feedback drives automated learning that simplifies the overall system architecture compared to approaches requiring multiple separate systems for adaptation

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If recommendation systems monitor user responses and detect mentions, then personalization improves, but data processing requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser preference detection accuracyVSAvoiddata processing volume
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSQuantity of substance

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts specific information (mentions of recommended items) from the broader stream of user responses through the generative AI's detection capability. This extraction approach focuses processing resources on the most relevant data points rather than processing all user interaction data equally, thereby maintaining high detection accuracy while managing data processing volume

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameters of data processing by using the generative AI to identify and prioritize the most relevant mentions from user responses. This parameter change in data selection and processing focus allows the system to achieve precise preference detection without proportionally increasing overall data processing requirements

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

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.
