Truth-Falsity Determination with Iterative Condition Rechecking

Solution Overview

Problem

Existing technologies lack an efficient and automated method for improving the accuracy of determining the truth or falsity of information in content, such as news articles, which often includes factually incorrect matters, without the need for expert fact-checking that is time-consuming and costly.

Innovation Solution

An information processing apparatus and method that utilizes a truth/falsity determination unit and a condition changing unit to determine and re-determine the truth or falsity of content using a large language model (LLM), allowing for improved accuracy through iterative condition changes.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If expert fact checking is performed on news articles, then determination accuracy is improved, but time consumption and cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedetermination accuracyVSAvoidtime consumption

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the expert fact-checking process by training an AI model on expert verification data. The model learns to replicate expert judgment patterns, enabling automated determination that mimics expert accuracy without requiring actual expert involvement for each article verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human expert fact-checking with an automated AI-based determination system. The AI model processes articles through algorithmic analysis rather than human cognitive evaluation, eliminating time consumption and cost associated with expert labor while maintaining determination capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Measurement precision

If expert fact checking is performed on news articles, then determination accuracy is improved, but cost increases

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedetermination accuracyVSAvoidcost

Core Design Contradiction:

Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the expert fact-checking process by training an AI model on expert verification data. The model learns to replicate expert judgment patterns, enabling automated determination that mimics expert accuracy without requiring actual expert involvement for each article verification.

Inventive Principle:

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical system of human expert fact-checking with an automated AI-based determination system. The AI model processes articles through algorithmic analysis rather than human cognitive evaluation, eliminating time consumption and cost associated with expert labor while maintaining determination capability.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

3Loss of time

If automated truth/falsity determination is implemented, then time consumption is reduced, but determination accuracy deteriorates

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvetime consumptionVSAvoiddetermination accuracy

Core Design Contradiction:

Loss of timeVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The patent performs preliminary action by training the AI determination model extensively on labeled fact-checked data before deployment. This pre-training phase incorporates expert knowledge and verification patterns into the model, so that when the model operates automatically on new articles, it inherits the accuracy characteristics of expert judgment without requiring real-time expert involvement.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a virtual copy of the expert fact-checking process by training an AI model on expert verification data. The model learns to replicate expert judgment patterns, enabling automated determination that mimics expert accuracy without requiring actual expert involvement for each article verification.

Inventive Principle:

Principle #26Copying
