Solution Overview

Problem

Existing NLG systems lack dynamic control and domain-specific filtering of outputs, leading to potential security breaches and inefficient resource utilization due to the black-box nature of artificial intelligence models.

Innovation Solution

A system that uses a lightweight LLM to generate preliminary outputs, evaluates them for domain classification and confidence metrics, and applies domain-specific rulesets before generating a final output with a heavier-weight model to prevent unauthorized or malicious content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If a heavier-weight LLM is used to generate content, then the accuracy and quality of generated output is improved, but the computational resources and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of generated outputVSAvoidcomputational resources
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSUse of energy by moving object

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary domain classification and security evaluation using a lightweight LLM before engaging the heavier-weight LLM for final content generation. This preliminary action filters out unauthorized or malicious requests early, preventing unnecessary consumption of heavy computational resources while ensuring only appropriate requests receive full processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The content generation process is segmented into multiple stages: (1) lightweight LLM performs initial domain classification and security assessment, (2) heavier-weight LLM performs detailed content generation only for approved requests, (3) output is evaluated against domain-specific rulesets. This segmentation allows the system to use computational resources efficiently by applying heavy processing only where necessary.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If no domain-specific filtering is applied, then the system complexity is reduced, but security breaches and unauthorized content generation increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidsecurity breaches
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSObject-affected harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary domain classification using a lightweight LLM before allowing content generation. This preliminary classification determines whether a request falls within authorized domains and applies domain-specific rulesets, preventing security breaches before they occur without requiring complex post-processing filters.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The lightweight LLM acts as an intermediary layer between user requests and the heavier-weight LLM. It performs initial security assessment and domain classification, serving as a mediator that filters out malicious or unauthorized requests before they reach the main generation system, thereby reducing overall system complexity while maintaining security.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Reliability

If output filtering is performed after generation, then the control over generated content is improved, but the computational efficiency deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontrol over generated contentVSAvoidcomputational efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of filtering output after generation, the system performs preliminary domain classification and security evaluation before generation occurs. This preliminary action determines whether a request should be fulfilled, modified, or rejected based on domain-specific rulesets, improving computational efficiency by avoiding unnecessary post-generation filtering.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system incorporates feedback from domain-specific rulesets and security evaluations into the content generation process itself. The lightweight LLM provides feedback about the appropriateness of requests before the heavier-weight LLM generates content, allowing real-time adjustments that improve both control and efficiency without requiring separate post-processing stages.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

Systems and methods for executing domain-specific controls on large language model-generated data are disclosed herein. The system may receive a textual communication and provide the textual communication to a first model to generate an output. Based on the output and the textual communication, the system may generate a communication profile. The system may determine that the communication profile satisfies first or second criteria. Based on determining that the communication profile satisfies the first criteria, the system may determine rulesets corresponding to domains and provide the communication to a second model to generate a second output according to these rulesets. Based on determining that the communication profile satisfies the second criteria, the system may cause execution of a termination protocol in lieu of generating the second output.
