Solution Overview

Problem

Relevance models struggle to identify user preferences and anomalies in user actions, especially as the volume of queries and responses grows, making it cumbersome for human reviewers to track and evaluate user actions and metrics effectively.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilize user action metrics to determine statistically significant responses, curate them, and provide curated responses, while allowing adjustments and management of these responses, thereby improving the relevance of query results.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If human reviewers manually track and evaluate user actions and metrics, then they can identify user preferences and anomalies, but the process becomes cumbersome and inefficient as query volume grows

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveidentification of user preferencesVSAvoidcomplexity of tracking and evaluation process
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables automated self-evaluation of query responses through statistical analysis of user actions. The curation engine automatically identifies significant user preferences and anomalies without requiring manual human review, allowing the system to serve itself in detecting and responding to user behavior patterns.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical process of manual human review with an automated computational system. Statistical significance testing and automated curation engines substitute for human reviewers, transforming the manual tracking and evaluation process into an automated digital system that handles large query volumes efficiently.

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

2Productivity

If automated systems are used to analyze user actions, then efficiency improves, but the ability to detect subtle user preferences and anomalies may be reduced

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveefficiency of analyzing user actionsVSAvoiddetection of user preferences
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where user actions on curated responses are continuously monitored and fed back into the curation engine. This feedback mechanism allows the automated system to learn from user interactions, refine its statistical models, and improve its detection of user preferences over time, maintaining precision while preserving high productivity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The curation system is designed to be dynamic and adaptive, adjusting its statistical significance thresholds and analysis parameters based on evolving user behavior patterns. This dynamic approach allows the automated system to maintain sensitivity to subtle user preferences while processing large volumes of data efficiently.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Reliability

If curated responses are provided based on statistical significance, then relevance of query results improves, but the system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improverelevance of query resultsVSAvoidcomplexity of curation system
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The curation system is segmented into distinct functional modules: a curation engine that generates curated responses, a statistical analysis component that evaluates user actions, and a delivery mechanism that provides curated results. This segmentation allows each component to be optimized independently, managing overall system complexity while maintaining high relevance of query results.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

Systems and methods that are adapted for automatic curation of query responses are disclosed herein. An example method includes obtaining user action metrics corresponding to responses provided in reply to a query for a target resource, the query having a search term, determining a portion of the responses having user action metrics with statistical significance, generating a list of curated responses based on the portion of the responses, and providing the curated responses in reply queries having the search term.
