Solution Overview

Problem

Existing content generation systems often reinforce popular or user-specific viewpoints, limiting access to factual content with neutral perspectives, as they prioritize popularity and relevance over diversity of opinions.

Innovation Solution

A method that constructs a concept tree from natural language text documents, scores polarity using a trained model, adds documents to achieve a neutral polarity range, filters sentences based on factuality, and generates new content using a transformer deep learning narration model to produce neutral point of view content.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If content management systems prioritize popularity and relevance when ranking content, then user engagement and content accessibility are improved, but content neutrality and perspective diversity deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecontent accessibilityVSAvoidperspective diversity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments content into multiple polarity groups (positive, negative, neutral) and organizes them separately in the concept tree structure. This allows the system to maintain and present diverse perspectives by selectively retrieving content from different polarity segments rather than mixing them together in a single ranked list.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the parameter of content representation by introducing polarity scores and concept tree levels. Instead of solely ranking by popularity or relevance, content is evaluated and organized based on polarity parameters, enabling the system to balance popularity with perspective diversity when generating neutral content.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

2Ease of operation

If content generation systems reinforce popular viewpoints, then user engagement is improved, but factual neutrality and balanced perspective deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveuser engagementVSAvoidfactual neutrality
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies counterweight by introducing content from opposing polarities to balance out dominant viewpoints. When generating neutral content, the system deliberately incorporates sentences from both positive and negative polarity groups, preventing any single perspective from dominating and ensuring factual neutrality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #8Anti-weight (Counterweight)

Solution Approach 2:

The concept tree structure serves as an intermediary mechanism that mediates between popular viewpoints and neutral content generation. The system uses the concept tree to identify and select content from multiple polarity groups, acting as a mediator that balances engagement with neutrality.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Adaptability or versatility

If machines and users influence each other in content discovery, then personalized content delivery is improved, but access to diverse perspectives outside user's viewpoint deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvepersonalized content deliveryVSAvoidaccess to diverse perspectives
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

Instead of allowing user preferences to dictate content selection (traditional approach), the system inverts the approach by using polarity-balanced content selection to influence user exposure. The system deliberately presents content from polarities different from what users might typically encounter, expanding their perspective while maintaining personalized delivery through the concept tree structure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #13The other way round (Inversion)

AI summary

From a set of natural language text documents, a concept tree is constructed. For a node in the concept tree a polarity of the subset represented by the node is scored. A second set of natural language text documents is added to the subset, the adding resulting in a modified subset of natural language text documents having a polarity score within a predefined neutral polarity score range. From the modified subset, a bin of sentences is selected according to a sentence selection parameter, a sentence in the bin of sentences being extracted from a selected document in the modified subset. A sentence having a factuality score below a threshold factuality score is removed from the bin of sentences. From the filtered bin of sentences a new natural language text document corresponding to the filtered bin of sentences is generated using a transformer deep learning narration generation model.
