Solution Overview

Problem

Users face difficulty in making accurate purchasing decisions due to large volumes of content associated with an item, making it hard to digest and draw conclusions from user reviews, especially in travel booking scenarios.

Innovation Solution

Utilizing large language models (LLMs) to aggregate and summarize user reviews, providing sentiment analysis and weighting systems to generate concise, up-to-date summaries that highlight key aspects of travel properties, thereby simplifying decision-making.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If users read all content items associated with an item, then they can make accurate purchasing decisions, but it takes too much time and effort

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision accuracyVSAvoidtime to review content
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and summarizes key information from multiple content items (reviews) into a condensed summary that captures essential sentiments and details. This allows users to obtain accurate decision-making information without reading every individual review, thus resolving the contradiction between decision accuracy and time consumption.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the large volume of content into manageable summaries organized by sentiment (positive, negative, neutral) and key themes. This segmentation enables users to quickly scan and understand the essential information without being overwhelmed by the full content volume, maintaining accuracy while reducing time investment.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If users read all content items associated with an item, then they can make accurate purchasing decisions, but it increases cognitive load and difficulty

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision accuracyVSAvoidease of content consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSEase of operation

Solution Approach 1:

The system extracts and presents only the most relevant information from content items in a summarized format, removing unnecessary details and noise. This extraction process maintains decision accuracy while significantly improving ease of consumption by presenting information in a digestible, organized manner.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

The system changes the presentation parameters of the content by transforming detailed reviews into summarized formats with adjusted text length, organization, and highlighting. This parameter transformation maintains the essential information needed for accurate decisions while making the content much easier and faster to consume.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Productivity

If the system provides detailed content summaries, then users can make informed decisions quickly, but it requires complex processing

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvedecision-making speedVSAvoidsystem processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system employs a multi-functional processing architecture where a single content summarization system handles multiple tasks: aggregating content from various sources, analyzing sentiments, extracting key information, and presenting organized summaries. This universal approach enables fast decision-making while managing processing complexity through integrated rather than separate specialized systems.

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

AI summary

Systems and methods for generating content summaries are provided. A provider computing system includes a first machine learning model configured to: retrieve one or more elements associated with an entity and retrieve a plurality of content items associated with the entity, each content item including a reference to at least one of the one or more elements; a second machine learning model configured to determine, for each reference to at least one of the one or more elements in each content item of the plurality of content items, a sentiment of the reference; a third machine learning model configured to generate, for each reference to the at least one of the one or more elements, a first summary of the at least one of the one or more elements; and a fourth machine learning model configured to: generate a second summary, including the first summary.
