Solution Overview

Problem

Current conversational systems, particularly those using large language models (LLMs), face challenges in providing accurate and engaging responses to user queries due to issues like hallucination and the inability to dynamically adapt to user needs, leading to a degraded user experience and poor engagement.

Innovation Solution

An online interaction server employs a fine-tuned LLM to generate, validate, and augment responses to user questions by aligning the model with digital content specific to the entity, using a textual entailment model for validation, and selecting relevant digital assets to provide additional information.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a fine-tuned LLM is used to generate responses, then response accuracy and relevance are improved, but computational complexity and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse accuracyVSAvoidcomputational complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the response generation process into distinct modules: a fine-tuned LLM generates candidate responses, a textual entailment model validates factual accuracy, and a digital asset selection component enriches responses with additional materials. This segmentation allows each component to specialize in one aspect of response quality while distributing computational load across multiple processors.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The LLM is pre-trained and fine-tuned offline on domain-specific digital content before deployment. This preliminary action ensures the model has internalized relevant knowledge and response patterns, reducing the computational burden during online inference and improving response accuracy without increasing real-time processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

2Reliability

If manual validation and augmentation of responses is performed, then response quality and user engagement are improved, but labor requirements and processing time increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveresponse qualityVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements automated self-validation using a textual entailment model that automatically verifies whether generated responses are factually entailed by the source digital content. Additionally, a digital asset selection algorithm automatically identifies and attaches relevant supplementary materials, eliminating the need for manual validation and augmentation while maintaining high response quality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The textual entailment model provides automated feedback on the factual accuracy of generated responses, and the digital asset selection component provides feedback by identifying relevant supplementary materials. This automated feedback loop ensures response quality without requiring manual review, significantly reducing processing time while maintaining reliability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Device complexity

If generic conversational responses are used, then system simplicity is maintained, but user engagement and relevance decrease

Engineering Contradiction:

Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies local quality by fine-tuning the LLM on entity-specific digital content, enabling it to generate responses with domain-specific knowledge and tone. The digital asset selection component further enhances this by attaching entity-specific supplementary materials to responses. This localized adaptation to entity-specific content significantly improves user engagement and relevance while maintaining a relatively simple overall system architecture.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

AI summary

System and methods for generating, validating, and augmenting question-answer pairs using generative AI are provided. An online interaction server accesses a set of digital content available at a set of designated network locations. The online interaction server further trains a pre-trained large language model (LLM) using the set of digital content to obtain a customized LLM. The online interaction server generates a set of question-answer pairs based on the set of digital content using the customized LLM and validates the set of question-answer pairs by determining if an answer in a question-answer pair is derived from the set of digital content. The online interaction server also selects a digital asset to augment an answer in a validated question-answer pair based on a semantic similarity between the validated question-answer pair and the digital asset.
