MUMBAI, India, Aug. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202517074198 A) filed by Google Llc, Mountain View, U.S.A., on Aug. 4, for 'generation of explanations with multistep reasoning for ranking in recommender systems.'
Inventor(s) include Chu, Brian; and Friedman, Luke, Beck.
The application for the patent was published on Aug. 22, under issue no. 34/2025.
According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The technology employs large language models (LLMs) (1102) to simultaneously generate an explanation (1106) and a score (ranking) (1104) using a multistep reasoning process that evaluates both item metadata (1110) and user context (1108). The context may include information from an active conversation (1116) and stored profile information (804). This approach beneficially generates an explanation concurrently with the scoring/ranking. The explanation can be further distilled into a user-facing (external) explanation (1120) or inspected to debug the model via subsequent (internal) evaluation (1122). The technology utilizing such LLMs can be employed to directly reason about how well an item matches the context of a conversation within a ranking module and also generate an intuitive natural language explanation. Other use cases include dialogue management, incorporating natural language user profiles, and building realistic user simulators to generate synthetic data at scale for evaluation and tuning of system components."
The patent application was internationally filed on Jan. 10, 2024, under International application No.PCT/US2024/011010.
