Solution Overview

Problem

Existing search and result generation systems, including those based on artificial intelligence, often fail to provide user-specific, relevant, and engaging results due to limitations in training data, hallucinations, and the inability to account for user preferences and current technological developments, leading to inaccurate or irrelevant content generation.

Innovation Solution

A system that generates personalized descriptions and images of items based on user queries and profiles, using machine learning models to emphasize features relevant to the user, thereby improving the accuracy and relevance of search results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If pre-existing search engines are used to generate results, then search functionality is provided, but results are not relevant to user preferences and may be inconsistent with user queries

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of search resultsVSAvoidability to account for user preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary actions by generating multiple candidate results using different machine learning models before the user sees them. These candidate results are pre-generated based on the user query and then refined based on user profile data, ensuring relevance is established before user interaction.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system dynamically adjusts the generation and selection of search results based on user profile data. The machine learning models are dynamically selected and tuned based on the specific user query and stored preferences, making the search system adaptable rather than static.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

2Adaptability or versatility

If generative machine learning models are used to create content, then user-specific content can be generated, but hallucinations and inaccuracies occur

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to generate user-specific contentVSAvoidaccuracy of generated content
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system merges multiple machine learning models with different strengths. A first machine learning model generates candidate results, while a second machine learning model evaluates and ranks them. This combination leverages the generative capability of one model with the evaluative accuracy of another, reducing hallucinations while maintaining user-specific content generation.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #5Merging (Combining)

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback mechanisms where user interactions with generated content are stored in the user profile and used to refine future content generation. This feedback loop continuously improves accuracy by learning from user corrections and preferences, reducing hallucinations over time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

3Reliability

If multiple machine learning models are used to generate and evaluate results, then accuracy improves, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of search resultsVSAvoidcomplexity of multi-model system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments the search result generation process into distinct functional components: a first machine learning model for generating candidate results, a second machine learning model for evaluating and ranking them, and a user profile system for storing preferences. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently while working together to improve overall accuracy.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods for generating user-specific textual and image-based outputs, in response to a user query, for provision of a matching item are disclosed herein. For example, the system may receive a query that includes a textual description. The system may retrieve a user profile for a user associated with the query. Based on the query and the user profile, the system may generate outputs and images using a machine learning model. Based on the outputs, the system may generate graphical representations. The system may receive a selection of a graphical representation. Based on the selection of the graphical representation, the system may enable access to an item that corresponds to the graphical representation.
