Neuro-Symbolic AI on EPCC’s Cirrus HPC system

8 August 2022

UMNAI's Andrew Farrugia explains how the company is deploying its novel Neuro-Symbolic AI algorithms and model induction (generation) technology on EPCC’s Cirrus system.

This collaboration will prove the efficacy of UMNAI’s algorithms and induction process in distributed training environments and with very large datasets. It will also serve to optimise and test overall data efficiency of UMNAI’s technology.

UMNAI’s Neuro-symbolic AI forms the foundation of our Hybrid Intelligence Framework, a system that enables the integration of human knowledge with explainable AI in a collaborative manner. The framework empowers decision workflows that apply intentional reasoning and oversight to ensure fit-for-purpose decisions. In Hybrid Intelligence powered decision workflows, human crafted tests, measurements and assessments intelligently interrogate each prediction to fully understand it. With awareness and understanding, decisions are programmatically aligned to meet the intentions and obligations of the operator.

UMNAI’s Neuro-symbolic AI and Hybrid Intelligence Framework are particularly suited to the application of AI in regulated industries such as financial services, insurance, healthcare, social services and other highly regulated industries.
