    Abstract: A method, computer system, and a computer program product are provided. Inferencing is performed with a probabilistic logical neural network. The probabilistic logical neural network includes a probabilistic graphical model that includes propositional nodes, logical operational nodes, and directed edges. The directed edges indicate a direction of upward inference. The downward inference is in an opposite direction from that of the directed edges. The probabilistic logical neural network implements upward and downward inference. The propositional and logical operational nodes are coupled with respective belief bounds. Each of the logical operational nodes includes a respective activation function set to a probability-respecting generalization of the Fréchet inequalities.

  • Patent number: 12045319
    Abstract: A system for configuring and using a logical neural network including a graph syntax tree of formulae in a represented knowledgebase connected to each other via nodes representing each proposition. One neuron exists for each logical connective occurring in each formula and, additionally, one neuron for each unique proposition occurring in any formula. All neurons return pairs of values representing upper and lower bounds on truth values of their corresponding subformulae and propositions. Neurons corresponding to logical connectives accept as input the output of neurons corresponding to their operands and have activation functions configured to match the connectives' truth functions. Neurons corresponding to propositions accept as input the output of neurons established as proofs of bounds on the propositions' truth values and have activation functions configured to aggregate the tightest such bounds.

  • Patent number: 11687724
    Abstract: Word sense disambiguation using a glossary layer embedded in a deep neural network includes receiving, by one or more processors, input sentences including a plurality of words. At least two words in the plurality of words are homonyms. The one or more processors convert the plurality of words associated with each input sentence into a first vector including possible senses for the at least two words. The first vector is then combined with a second vector including a domain-specific contextual vector associated with the at least two words. The combination of the first vector with the second vector is fed into a recurrent deep logico-neural network model to generate a third vector that includes word senses for the at least two words. A threshold is set for the third vector to generate a fourth vector including a final word sense vector for the at least two words.

  • Publication number: 20220383100
    Abstract: A first neural network can be trained to approximate a state-action value function to estimate an expected cumulative return for an agent to perform an action in a given state, the agent being an autonomous reinforcement learning agent running on the processor. A second neural network can be trained to generate a simulated experience, the second network trained to predict a simulated state at a next time step after performing a given action, the second neural network being trained using real experience in a real environment. The first neural network is trained based on the simulated experience and a real experience from a real environment. A selected action selected by the second neural network given a current state of the real environment can be performed. The agent can explore an action space by uniformly sampling an action from all possible remaining action-state space combinations and performing the sampled action.
