Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional engagement metrics in multi-user application systems fail to reflect the quality or relevance of interactions, leading to a proliferation of low-quality content and diminishing user experience, while manual curation is labor-intensive and not scalable.

Innovation Solution

Automate the process of identifying and promoting high-quality interactions by using large language models (LLMs) to generate diverse dialogue examples and training a dialogue classifier, which scores dialogues for engagement quality, reducing dependency on crowdsourced examples and enhancing classifier performance.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If traditional engagement metrics (likes, shares, comments) are used to measure interaction quality, then the system is simple to implement, but the quality and relevance of interactions cannot be accurately reflected

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveinteraction quality measurementVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent introduces a dialogue classifier as an intermediary component that bridges the gap between simple engagement metrics and accurate interaction quality assessment. The classifier processes dialogue data and generates quality scores, serving as a mediator that transforms basic interaction data into meaningful quality indicators without requiring complete system redesign

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces manual curation mechanisms with automated machine learning-based dialogue classification. Instead of relying on human reviewers to assess interaction quality, the system uses trained classifiers that automatically evaluate dialogues, substituting mechanical human labor with computational processes

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

2Productivity

If manual curation is used to identify and highlight engaging content, then content quality can be ensured, but the process is labor-intensive and not scalable

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent curation scalabilityVSAvoidcontent quality assessment
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service system where the dialogue classifier automatically identifies and highlights engaging content without requiring manual intervention. The system serves itself by using the trained model to continuously evaluate and prioritize content, eliminating the need for ongoing human curation efforts while maintaining scalability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual content curation with automated machine learning classification. The dialogue classifier systematically evaluates content quality at scale, substituting human labor with computational processes that can handle large volumes of content efficiently

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

3Adaptability or versatility

If large language models are used to generate dialogue examples for training, then training data diversity is improved, but computational resources and time requirements increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvetraining data diversityVSAvoidtraining data generation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by using large language models to generate diverse dialogue examples in advance during the training phase. This pre-generated diverse training data is then used to train the dialogue classifier, enabling it to handle varied interaction scenarios effectively without requiring extensive real-time data collection

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Techniques for high-quality engagement content item unrolling. The techniques enhance user engagement within multi-user application systems by leveraging large language model (LLM) prompts to generate engagement content items in response to anchor content items, such as social media posts. This involves selecting relevant engagement content from LLM-generated completions, training a dialogue classifier with examples of these anchor and engagement content pairings, and using the classifier to score each dialogue based on its quality or relevance. Dialogues that achieve a high score are then selected, and their corresponding engagement content items are highlighted within the application's graphical user interface.
