A composite AI
system and method for advanced reasoning and
automation that integrates symbolic knowledge graphs and algorithms with non-symbolic, or connectionist, models such as neural embeddings. A hierarchical architecture enables dynamically distributed, cooperative reasoning through layperson and expert-led challenge-based
verification, model blending, model fitness and retraining and selection, comprehensive feedback loops at individual model or model blend or process flow with or without supervision, and specialized routing of
processing to account for various operational risk, regulatory, legal, privacy, or economic considerations. Models, datasets, knowledge bases, simulations and
simulation components, and embeddings are iteratively refined using
knowledge graph elements and model, process,
simulation or flow / process optimal hyperparameters which are recorded and tracked. Extraction of symbolic representations from connectionist models links them to curated ontologies of facts and principles.
