  • Publication number: 20240394600
    Abstract: A system and computer implemented method for detecting hallucination in output of a generative AI system. User input is received specifying a query or task relating to information contained in a data object. A first vector representation of the user input and a second vector representation of the data object are generated. The first and second vector representations are compared to identify parts of the data object which match the query or task. An input is generated for a generative AI system with the user input and the parts of the data object. The input is input to a generative AI system. An output produced by the generative AI system is analysed to determine if the output contains information also present in the data object. If not, an error process is initiated. If so, the output is produced by the generative AI system.

  • Publication number: 20240394285
    Abstract: A computer-implemented chatbot including a prompt generation module, a large language model (LLM) module, and an answer generation module. The prompt generation modules generates an initial prompt based on a prompt template combined with a received user query. The initial prompt includes information source data specifying sources of factual information, conversation history data, and failed response data. The initial prompt is input to the LLM module, which is configured to generate an output and communicate the output to the answer generation module. The answer generation modules determines if the output is a plan to answer a user query. If so, relevant data is retrieved from external database or more APIs specified in the information source data. A further prompt is generated for answering the user query and input to the LLM module. The answer generation module repeats its tasks until a suitable answer to the user query is output.

  • Publication number: 20240394512
    Abstract: A computer implemented method of detecting hallucination in a large language model (LLM) output. A message is received. A prompt is generated for an LLM including the message and an instruction to generate an output identifying predetermined content in the message. The prompt is passed through an LLM to generate the output. The output is processed in accordance with a hallucination detection process to identify if any predetermined content identified by the LLM in the output is potentially hallucinated.

  • Publication number: 20240125028
    Abstract: Indigo-dyed garments are treated with an anti-ozone agent to prevent ozone-related degradation of the garments before laser finishing. Without treatment, the garments can exhibit color loss (e.g., color change or fading) from exposure to ozone in the atmosphere. The indigo-dyed garments with anti-ozone treatment can serve as base templates in a laser finishing process flow. The anti-ozone treatment of the base templates can include a rinse including an ascorbic acid or vitamin C constituent during a base preparation process. Then quantities of these base templates can manufactured and stored for periods of time without exhibiting ozone-related degradation effects.

  • Publication number: 20240099408
    Abstract: Delayed finishing of apparel products, such as by way of laser finishing, allows an operating model that reduces finishing cost, lowers carrying costs, increases productivity, shortens time to market, be more reactive to trends, reduce product constraints, reduces lost sales and dilution, and more. Improved aspects include design, development, planning, merchandising, selling, making, and delivering. The model uses fabric templates, each of which can be used to produce a multitude of finishes. Operational efficiency is improved.
