Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where predictions are continuously evaluated against actual outcomes, and this feedback is used to automatically update and refine knowledge artifacts. This allows the system to improve prediction accuracy over time without requiring large training datasets, as the feedback mechanism enables continuous learning from limited data.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs self-learning by automatically extracting knowledge from data sources, creating knowledge artifacts, and updating its own knowledge base without external intervention. This self-service capability enables the system to develop accurate predictions independently, reducing dependence on large pre-prepared training datasets.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Reliability

Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system pre-extracts and stores knowledge artifacts from various data sources before they are needed for predictions. This preliminary action of knowledge extraction and storage allows the system to make robust predictions immediately when deployed, without requiring time-consuming training on large datasets at deployment time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system automatically builds and maintains its knowledge base through self-learning processes, eliminating the need for manual data preparation and model training.

AI summary

Approaches, techniques, and mechanisms are disclosed for generating, enhancing, applying and updating knowledge neurons for providing decision making information to a wide variety of client applications. Domain keywords for knowledge domains are generated from domain data of selected domain data sources, along with keyword values for the domain keywords, and are used to generate knowledge artifacts for inclusion in knowledge neurons. These knowledge neurons may be enhanced by domain knowledge data sets found in various data sources and used to generate neural responses to neural queries received from the client applications. Neural feedbacks may be used to update and/or generate knowledge neurons. Any ML algorithm can use, or operate in conjunction with, a neural knowledge artifactory comprising the knowledge neurons to enhance or improve baseline accuracy, for example during a cold start period, for augmented decision making and/or for labeling data points or establishing ground truth to perform supervised learning.
