AI: Explainable AI with a model that understands ‘meaning’ as close as possible to the way humans do

GyanAI is launching the world’s first explainable language model and natural language understanding engine. Based on its proprietary technology, GyanAI delivers on the promise of explainable AI with a model that understands ‘meaning’ as close as possible to the way humans do. It is fully explainable and a user can trace all of its results back to its source. It can provide reasoning for its output. Its output is a mix of extractive and generative text.

Venkat Srinivasan, Founder of GyanAI and Serial AI Entrepreneur, said: “Our core objective is to provide an interpretable, robust capability for machines to understand natural language as close as possible to the way humans do. We have re-defined what a ‘language model’ can be.  We are principally motivated by a desire to efficiently acquire and apply, automatically where possible, insights from the enormous amount of information we have access to in various fields.  GyanAI can be used in conjunction with LLMs where beneficial. While GyanAI is ready for purpose-specific enterprise deployment and is in production use, we anticipate announcing API for application developers in the near future.”

The Why

Large Language Models (LLMs) are neural networks trained on huge amounts of natural language content. They have well-documented limitations such as explainability, reasoning and factual errors, inability to understand full compositional context, susceptibility to influence from biased training data, and tractability among others.

In contrast, GyanAI is a knowledge engine based on a content-independent language model capable of deep understanding of textual discourse without relying on word patterns.

Features

  • It acquires its knowledge near real-time from the documents it processes and optionally, one or more Gyan Knowledge Stores.
  • Since the Gyan language model is independent of content, it cannot be used to generate misinformation or be manipulated with biased training data.
  • It supports the full knowledge acquisition process as a user traverses from ‘search’ to ‘knowledge’.
