Preface

The remarkable advancements in artificial intelligence (AI), primarily driven by deep neural networks, have significantly impacted various aspects of our lives. However, the current challenges surrounding unsustainable computational trajectories, limited robustness, and a lack of explainability call for the development of next-generation AI systems. Cognitive-symbolic AI (CSAI) emerges as a promising paradigm, with a core symbolic system augmented by neural subsystems for perception, language, and intuition (World Model), and probabilistic approaches to enhance interpretability, robustness, and trustworthiness while facilitating learning from much less data.

Project MONARK

Our team is leading the development of a groundbreaking AI paradigm named MONARK. In this project, symbolic AI is rethought and pushed beyond its previous limits, and also integrated with a World Model.

It integrates fundamental principles such as uncertainty, causality, and intention, derived from common knowledge. With its modular and object-oriented design, MONARK is engineered to offer significant advantages, including explainability, trackability, collaboration, and revisability, establishing new standards for AI systems in both functionality and transparency.

Metaphor, Meaning

In many ways, MONARK is a metaphor for transformation: the classic symbolic AI caterpillar reborn as a butterfly, embodying a new paradigm of artificial intelligence. This rebirth brings forth a system transformed into an reasoning objects providing capabilities of probabilistic reasoning, explainability, modularity, and belief revision.
MONARK with ending "K" is not just a butterfly, but one with Knowledge at its core.

It actually stands for:

Modular Object-Oriented Neuro-Symbolic Artificial Intelligence Reasoning Engine & Knowledge Base System

Rebirthed AI
