Solution Overview

Problem

Traditional large language models (LLMs) suffer from inaccurate hallucinations and lack reliable quality assessment techniques for generative text, making prompt creation time-consuming and case-specific, which limits their practicality and reliability across diverse use cases.

Innovation Solution

A multi-stage generative framework with multi-channel assessment techniques to create, score, and select optimal prompts for LLMs, including a multi-stage text matching pipeline and prompt selection pipeline, enabling automatic prompt creation and quality assessment.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If traditional prompting techniques are used to guide text generation, then the reliability of generative text output may be improved, but the time and cost required to create quality prompts increases significantly

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvereliability of generative text outputVSAvoidtime to create quality prompts
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables prompts to self-evaluate their own quality by generating multiple candidate prompts, assessing them through multiple channels (text matching, quality metrics, generative performance), and automatically selecting the optimal prompt without human intervention, thus resolving the contradiction between reliability and time investment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The framework implements a feedback mechanism where generated text is evaluated against multiple quality metrics and channels, and this feedback is used to iteratively improve prompt selection and creation, allowing the system to learn from past performance and continuously enhance reliability while maintaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

2Measurement precision

If quality prompts are manually created for specific cases, then the accuracy of generative text output improves, but the adaptability to diverse use cases decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of generative text outputVSAvoidadaptability to diverse use cases
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal prompt assessment framework that can evaluate and select prompts across multiple diverse use cases and domains. The multi-channel assessment approach (text matching, quality metrics, generative evaluation) is domain-agnostic and can be applied universally to different types of generative tasks, thereby maintaining both accuracy and adaptability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The framework dynamically adjusts assessment parameters and weights based on the specific use case and domain requirements. By changing the relevant quality metrics and evaluation criteria according to the task at hand, the system maintains high accuracy across diverse applications without requiring manual prompt creation for each case

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Reliability

If multiple quality assessment channels are implemented, then the holistic quality assessment of prompts improves, but the device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveholistic quality assessment accuracyVSAvoidcomplexity of assessment framework
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The assessment framework is segmented into distinct independent channels (text matching pipeline, quality metrics pipeline, generative text evaluation pipeline), each handling a specific aspect of prompt quality. This modular segmentation reduces complexity by allowing each channel to be developed and maintained independently while collectively providing holistic assessment

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation
