Solution Overview

Problem

Existing communication analysis systems lack the ability to provide fine-grained feedback on the quality and content of interactions, such as virtual conferences, chats, and emails, limiting the effectiveness of performance evaluation and future engagement.

Innovation Solution

A system that segments communication records into smaller pieces and uses large language models (LLMs) to generate embeddings and evaluate segments based on analytical parameters, providing detailed feedback and justifications for the quality of interactions.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If communication records are analyzed in full detail, then measurement precision is improved, but loss of time increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveanalysis precisionVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent segments communication records into smaller units (utterances, turns, or topical segments) before analysis. This segmentation enables the system to process and evaluate specific portions of communications independently, improving both the precision of analysis for each segment and the overall processing efficiency by avoiding analysis of entire communication records at once.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Measurement precision

If fine-grained analysis is provided, then measurement precision is improved, but device complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvefeedback granularityVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system segments communications into analyzable units and applies multiple analytical parameters (relevance, clarity, completeness, etc.) to each segment. This segmentation approach enables fine-grained feedback without requiring a single monolithic complex system, as each segment can be evaluated independently against multiple criteria.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs multiple analytical parameters (relevance, clarity, completeness, conciseness, etc.) to evaluate communication segments. By changing and applying multiple evaluation parameters rather than a single metric, the system achieves fine-grained analysis while maintaining manageable complexity through standardized parameter frameworks.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive evaluation metrics are used, then measurement precision is improved, but productivity decreases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveevaluation accuracyVSAvoidprocessing throughput
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

By segmenting communications into smaller units, the system can apply comprehensive evaluation metrics to each segment independently and in parallel. This segmentation enables thorough evaluation without proportionally increasing total processing time, as segments can be processed concurrently rather than requiring sequential analysis of entire communications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

AI summary

One example method for communication analysis using LLMs includes receiving a set of communication records, the set of communication records representing one or more communications between a first person and a second person; receiving a set of analytical parameters associated with the set of communication records; generating a plurality of segments from the communication records; for each analytical parameter in the set of analytical parameters: determining a subset of segments semantically associated with the respective analytical parameter; generating, using a trained large language model (“LLM”), an evaluation of each segment of the respective subset of segments with respect to the respective analytical parameter; and generating, using the trained LLM, a response to the analytical parameter based on the evaluations of the segments; and outputting a full evaluation of the set of communication records based on the set of analytical parameters and the respective generated responses to the analytical parameters.
