Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional machine learning models, such as Seq2Seq, excel in generating correct outputs at the word level but fail to evaluate and improve the overall quality of generated text, resulting in summaries that may not capture user interest.
Innovation Solution

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Measurement precision
If conventional machine learning models like Seq2Seq are used for text generation, then correct word-level outputs can be obtained, but the overall quality and user appeal of generated text deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The evaluation process is segmented into multiple dimensions: word-level correctness evaluation and overall sentence quality evaluation. The system separately evaluates grammatical correctness, factual accuracy, and overall appeal, allowing independent optimization of each aspect without compromising the other.
Solution Approach 2:
The system implements multi-dimensional feedback mechanisms where evaluation results from both word-level and sentence-level assessments are fed back to the generation model. This enables the model to learn from both local (word) and global (sentence) evaluation signals, improving overall text quality while maintaining word-level accuracy.
2Manufacturing precision
If reinforcement learning with multi-dimensional evaluation is implemented, then overall text quality improves, but computational complexity and processing time increases
Solution Approach 1:
The complex evaluation task is divided into manageable segments: lexical evaluation for word-level correctness, grammatical evaluation for sentence structure, and appeal evaluation for overall quality. Each segment can be processed independently and in parallel, reducing the computational burden of the overall system.
Solution Approach 2:
The system performs selective evaluation based on the specific generation task and available resources. Not all evaluation dimensions are applied with equal depth in every case - the system can adjust the intensity and scope of evaluation across different dimensions to balance quality improvement with computational efficiency.
3Reliability
If multiple evaluation dimensions are used for reinforcement learning, then generation model performance improves, but training time and computational resources increase
Solution Approach 1:
Training is segmented into phases where different evaluation dimensions are emphasized at different stages. Early training may focus more on word-level correctness while later stages emphasize overall appeal and grammatical quality, allowing efficient use of computational resources across the training timeline.
Solution Approach 2:
The evaluation system is designed to be multi-functional, where the same evaluation framework serves both training and inference stages. The evaluation model can be used during training for reinforcement learning and during deployment for quality assessment, maximizing resource utilization and reducing overall computational overhead.
