Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional benchmarking techniques for generative machine learning models fail to accurately measure the quality, relevance, and creativity of generated content, particularly in tasks involving natural language generation, as they do not capture semantic, contextual, and pragmatic nuances of human language, and neglect the length and order of answers.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for open evaluation and benchmarking generative ML models by segmenting natural language responses into phrases, classifying them based on ground truth responses, removing unverified phrases, and computing metrics based on verified phrases, using techniques such as key phrase extraction and feature validation engines.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If conventional benchmarking techniques are used to evaluate generative ML models, then the evaluation process is simple and fast, but the measurement accuracy of quality, relevance, and creativity is insufficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemeasurement accuracyVSAvoidevaluation system complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The evaluation system segments the natural language response into individual phrases or sentences, and evaluates each segment separately against the ground truth. This segmentation allows for more granular and accurate measurement of relevance and quality, while the modular structure manages complexity by breaking down the evaluation task into manageable units.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary evaluation layer that compares generated phrases with ground truth phrases using semantic similarity metrics and contextual analysis. This intermediary layer acts as a bridge between the simple generation process and the complex evaluation requirements, enabling accurate measurement without directly complicating the core ML model.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If conventional benchmarking techniques are used, then the evaluation process is quick, but it fails to capture semantic, contextual, and pragmatic nuances

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesemantic evaluation accuracyVSAvoidevaluation time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by pre-processing both the generated response and ground truth into standardized phrase segments with associated metadata. This preliminary segmentation and normalization enables faster subsequent comparison and semantic analysis, reducing the time penalty associated with more sophisticated evaluation methods.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The evaluation process changes parameters by dynamically adjusting the depth of semantic analysis based on the complexity of the phrase being evaluated. Simple phrases receive faster, less computationally intensive evaluation, while complex phrases requiring nuanced semantic understanding receive more thorough analysis, optimizing the balance between accuracy and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

AI summary

Disclosed are systems, apparatuses, processes, and computer-readable media for processing one or more images. For example, an apparatus comprising one or more processors and configured to: receive a natural language response from a first machine-learning model; segment the natural language response into a set of phrases; classify each phrase in the set of phrases based on at least one corresponding phrase in at least one ground truth response; remove a first subset of phrases from the set of phrases based on respective classifications of the first subset of phrases, wherein the first subset of phrases are not verified in the at least one ground truth response; and compute a metric associated with the first machine-learning model based on respective classifications of a second subset of phrases from the set of phrases, wherein the second subset of phrases are verified in the at least one ground truth response.
