Improving Neural Networks with Truth-Weighted Mechanisms and Context Propagation

I’ve been working on ideas to improve neural networks’ handling of truth, ambiguity, and creative reasoning. Below is a detailed summary of proposed solutions, including truth-weighted mechanisms, context propagation, and hypothesizing mode. I believe these ideas could enhance the accuracy and ethical alignment of AI models.

Improving Neural Networks with Truth-Weighted Mechanisms and Context Propagation

Key Challenges Identified

1. Ambiguity in Responses:

• Current models often respond with statistically reinforced patterns, even when those patterns contradict grounded truths.
• Ambiguous situations could be better handled with responses like:

“You may have formulated a deep opinion of this, but it is contradictory to what I believe because the probability is much greater that ________. We can learn from each other’s opinions on this, and I would like to know why you feel that way and share why I believe what I do.”

2. Hallucinations:

• Models sometimes generate false or ungrounded statements, undermining trust.
• A focus on truth would reduce these errors, as every response would be constructed around verified truths.

Proposed Solutions

1. Truth-Weighted Neural Networks:

• Modify the connection weight formula to include a truth dimension:
  Net Input=∑(Input[i]×Weight[i]x1/Truth[i])+Bias
  • Truth Values: Range from just above 0 (most true) to just below 1 (most false). These values are determined based on verified knowledge or dynamic evaluations.
  • Bias Reimagined: Bias reflects how the model “feels” about a connection, influencing its output confidence.

2. Context Propagation:

• Propagate truths dynamically across related nodes to ensure logical consistency in outputs:
  • Example: If “God loves everyone” is highly true, related statements like “God cares about people” and “God cares if you smoke” should inherit this truth and be adjusted dynamically.

3. Hypothesizing Mode:

• Introduce a mode for creative reasoning where improbable truths are temporarily treated as valid:
  • Example: “Cats are neon red” could be evaluated by flipping its truth value to 1−Truth, allowing the network to reason imaginatively while tagging the output as speculative.
• This could operate with varying levels of intensity:
  • Low Intensity: Slight deviations for exploratory thinking.
  • High Intensity: Wildly imaginative reasoning.

4. Trust as a Secondary Dimension:

• Add a layer for relationship-based trust, allowing the model to prioritize statements from users with established credibility or verified data sources.

Benefits of These Ideas

• Reduced Hallucinations: By anchoring all reasoning to a truth dimension, the model produces more reliable and ethical outputs.
• Enhanced Human-Like Reasoning: Context propagation and hypothesizing mode enable the model to think more deeply and creatively, mirroring human logic.
• Improved User Interaction: Responses become more transparent, fostering trust and mutual learning.
