Solution Overview

Problem

User experience (UX) testing often results in sub-optimal product design choices due to poorly crafted tests and inefficient analysis, whether conducted in-house or outsourced, as researchers lack time and expertise to effectively run high-quality tests, and third-party providers struggle to identify relevant insights.

Innovation Solution

A scalable system architecture that automates the selection, curation, normalization, and synthesis of UX test results using artificial intelligence and machine learning to generate actionable insights, reducing the burden on researchers and improving resource efficiency.

AI summary

Techniques are described for producing machine learning models to generate findings associated with user experiences with products and/or services. In some embodiments, a training process receives a set of findings from one or more user experience tests, where a finding includes a summary and a set of one or more references supporting the summary. The training process further identifies a supplemental set of one or more references that were not included in the initial finding to support the summary. The training process trains a machine learning model, such as a neural or generative language model, based on the first set of one or more references and the second set of one or more references to generate summaries from a subset of sampled references based at least in part on the first set of one or more references and the second set of one or more references.
