Systems and methods for intelligently seeding a formulation network model

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• implementing, by one or more computer processors, a formulation network model within a web-based graphical user interface of a formulation service, wherein the formulation network model comprises formulation knowledge that establishes a plurality of causal paths between a plurality of formulation parameter nodes and a plurality of formulation outcome nodes;
• activating a target causal path of the formulation network model based on subscriber input, wherein the target causal path includes:
• (I) a formulation outcome node that represents a desired formulation outcome, and
• (II) a sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes upstream of the formulation outcome node that each relate to a distinct formulation parameter that impacts the desired formulation outcome;
• constructing, by the one or more computer processors, a formulation impact explanation prompt based on the formulation outcome node and the sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes of the target causal path;
• generating, by the one or more computer processors executing a large language model, a natural language explanation of the target causal path based on an input of the formulation impact explanation prompt;
• and
• surfacing, by the web-based graphical user interface, the natural language explanation of the target casual path, wherein the natural language explanation describes how changes to one or more formulation parameter nodes of the sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes impacts the desired formulation outcome.

A computer-implemented method for generating natural language explanations of product formulations, the computer-implemented method comprising:

• implementing, by one or more computer processors, a causal-based formulation network model within a web-based graphical user interface, wherein the causal-based formulation network model comprises product formulation knowledge data that establishes a plurality of causal paths between a plurality of formulation parameter nodes and a plurality of formulation outcome nodes across a diverse set of product categories;
• activating a target causal path of the causal-based formulation network model based on subscriber input, wherein the target causal path includes:
• (I) a formulation outcome node that represents a desired formulation outcome, and
• (II) a sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes upstream of the formulation outcome node that each relate to a distinct formulation parameter that impacts the desired formulation outcome;
• constructing, by the one or more computer processors, a formulation impact explanation prompt based on the formulation outcome node and the sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes of the target causal path;
• generating, by the one or more computer processors executing a large language model, a natural language explanation of the target causal path based on an input of the formulation impact explanation prompt;
• and
• surfacing, by the web-based graphical user interface, the natural language explanation of the target casual path, wherein the natural language explanation describes in a formulation-specific manner how changes to one or more formulation parameter nodes of the sequence of interconnected formulation parameter nodes impacts the desired formulation outcome.
