Solution Overview

Problem

Existing neural network models struggle with inter-scope interpretability, making embeddings from one model meaningless in the scope of another, and lacking a coherent approach to compare information across different scopes.

Innovation Solution

A method is introduced to create a combined machine learning graph neural network that processes signals by identifying shared content across different machine learning graphs, leveraging an atlas index and positional-aware graph neural networks to embed nodes into a single comparable embedding space.
