The challenge
The AI brain for industry
Pick a real problem in applied AI and solve it on your own or in a team. We are looking for creative, visionary people with an idea for how ontologies, shared memory or custom-built AI brains could solve it.
Memory & AI
How does a memory tell when a rule has been superseded? How do many agents write to the same memory without contradicting each other? How do you record why a decision was made?
Custom ontologies for AI
An ontology is the basis on which a system draws inferences. It is a formal specification of a shared conceptualisation. It defines the classes, relations and axioms of a domain.
How do you build an ontology? How do you update it when the company changes the way it works? How does an agent use it to reason and not only to search?
