Solution Overview

Problem

Existing information validation systems struggle to accurately and efficiently detect misinformation or deepfake information in multimodal environments due to the inability to dynamically identify cross-connections and contextual clues, leading to inaccurate validation and significant resource expenditure.

Innovation Solution

A computer-implemented method that generates embeddings from multimodal experience inputs, identifies truth claims and deceptive designs, and evaluates them for logical fallacies using fine-tuned models, generating alerts and trust scores to warn users about manipulation attempts.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If rule-based engines are used to validate information authenticity, then the validation process can be performed with simple pre-defined rules, but the system fails to dynamically identify cross-connections and contextual clues, resulting in inaccurate validation

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of implementationVSAvoidvalidation accuracy
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces rule-based mechanical validation systems with AI/ML models that can dynamically analyze multimodal information. The system uses neural networks and deep learning algorithms to automatically identify cross-connections between different modalities (text, image, audio, video) and detect contextual clues, thereby achieving accurate validation without relying on rigid pre-defined rules.

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

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs a composite validation approach that integrates multiple AI models specialized in different modalities (text analysis model, image analysis model, audio analysis model, video analysis model) along with a cross-connection identification model. This composite system combines the strengths of various specialized models to achieve comprehensive and accurate information validation that neither simple rule-based systems nor single-modality models could achieve alone.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #40Composite materials

2Reliability

If manual effort is involved to validate inaccurate information, then the validation thoroughness can be improved, but the time consumption and human resources required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvevalidation thoroughnessVSAvoidtime consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent implements a self-service validation system where AI models automatically perform the complete validation process without requiring manual human intervention. The system self-corrects inaccurate information by detecting logical fallacies, identifying cross-connections between modalities, and generating corrected content automatically. This eliminates the need for human reviewers while maintaining high validation thoroughness, thereby resolving the contradiction between reliability and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent incorporates feedback mechanisms where the validation system continuously learns from its results and improves its accuracy over time. The AI models analyze validation outcomes and use this feedback to refine their detection capabilities, enabling the system to achieve high thoroughness automatically without requiring increasing human resources or time investment for each validation task.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive validation of multimodal information is performed, then the detection of misinformation and deepfake information can be improved, but the computational resources and processing power required increase significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvemisinformation detection accuracyVSAvoidcomputational resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments the comprehensive validation process into distinct modular components, each handling a specific aspect: text analysis module, image analysis module, audio analysis module, video analysis module, and cross-connection identification module. This segmentation allows the system to process different modalities independently and efficiently, reducing overall computational resource consumption while maintaining high misinformation detection accuracy through specialized processing for each modality type.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent performs preliminary processing of each modality type before comprehensive analysis, where basic features are extracted and pre-processed in advance. This preliminary action prepares the data for more sophisticated cross-connection analysis without requiring all computational resources to be simultaneously engaged, thereby enabling comprehensive validation with optimized resource utilization and reduced processing power requirements.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

AI summary

Methods and systems for validating multimodal experience inputs are disclosed. The multimodal experience inputs are received from a user and embeddings are generated based upon the multimodal experience inputs. Each of the embeddings is processed using a claim identifier model to identify at least one truth claim. The at least one truth claim is evaluated further for at least one logical fallacy from a first set of logical fallacies and a second set of logical fallacies. Based upon the evaluated at least one logical fallacy for the at least one truth claim, an alert is generated. The alert provides insights describing claim logic and veracity to warn the user about a manipulation attempt.
