Overview

The proposal outlines the integration of Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) for neural-symbolic integration within Hyperon. We plan for 4 POCs developed in Python compatible with Hyperon. The project spans 6 months with a $80,000 budget across 5 milestones: HDC core implementation, PyNeuraLogic integration, AIRIS, and KANs framework development, and final framework integration. The solution promises better scalability and flexibility than competing approaches while maintaining interpretability.

This RFP invites proposals to explore and demonstrate the use of neuro-symbolic deep neural networks (DNNs), such as PyNeuraLogic and Kolmogorov Arnold Networks (KANs), for experiential learning and/or higher-order reasoning. The goal is to investigate how these architectures can embed logic rules derived from experiential systems like AIRIS or user-supplied higher-order logic, and apply them to improve reasoning in graph neural networks (GNNs), LLMs, or other DNNs.

Milestone 1 - HDC Neural-Symbolic Core Implementation

Description

Development of the core hyperdimensional computing infrastructure for neural-symbolic integration including implementation of HDC-Glue for combining neural networks and basic symbolic operations. This foundation will enable the efficient representation and manipulation of both neural network outputs and symbolic rules in hyperdimensional space. Construct scientific methods for design and testing of HDC enabled neuro-symbolic DNNs.

Deliverables

Literature review suitable for peer reviewed publication of current neuro-symbolic DNNs in relation to experiential rule vs higher-order reasoning abilities with comparative analysis of explainability learning efficiency (data operations) structured learning application as well as a comparative analysis of scalability challenges and technical details between logic based rule systems. We will describe and motivate with prior literature two approaches that can be achieved with HDC. First that HDC can act as a symbolic-reasoning engine to rule based systems to bridge the gap between data-driven and symbolic reasoning models. Secondly an approach to a novel neruo-symbolic model using HDC. Performance benchmarking framework/methods for benchmarking efficiency including tracking amount of learning operations per data unit as well as design of analysis methods of in depth capabilities of the system for logic rule embedding POC designs for integrating KANs AIRIS and PyNeurologic with metrics plan for higher order reasoning and efficiency improvements of current methods Documentation of existing and possible solutions using HDC as a core symbolic engine for rule-based systems POC design for a new neuro-symbolic DNN using HDC cable of experiential learning and higher-order reasoning
