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
- 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.â€
- 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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
