Connectome of human knowledge – fast-learn and make sense of reality (AI)

Hi! Please see below a third thread (3/3) about a discussion to use a multi-partite graph as a starting point for knowledge prediction.

###

The knowledge structure is similar to Google's Knowledge graph, with advantages: - you get correlations for all topics, even the least popular - you get traverse the knowledge base - you can visualize it Correlations are not computed based on searches of users: collective knowledge is organized in a multi-partite graph.

For a demo, restricted to the mind-map of wikipedia, see the mobile app: http://learn.xdiscovery.com

or maps created with it at: http://www.xdiscovery.com/en/atlas

I would like to use a backbone of knowledge as seminal starting point to study how knowledge is evolving, how a society is making sense of reality, exploiting semantic trees.

Which models in artificial intelligence / neuroscience / formation of memories are focused on semantic trees, to explain why things are connected?

###

Please see below additional info to frame my question.

Instead of training machines to identify knowledge correlations against users' searches or popularity of topics, I would like to * explain * correlations.

My proposal is to use an "analogic" approach: as a starting point, to adopt a mind-map of collective knowledge reflecting an average of what people think about subjects; then to iterate AI on top of it.

As example, I can already query pathways between topics (e.g. tell me why "Karl Marx" and "Russia" are linked, or "Google" and "Robotics" are linked ..).

I see a potential for interfacing with natural language and make crazy query like, ehi, tell me about "financial crises 2008" and you get an overview of the * subject * : semantic trees telling about an argument, rather than web-pages.

Currently in San Francisco and I'd love to have a deeper chat, vis-à-vis!!
