Combining Relevant Expert Knowledge Using Mixtures of Feedback Fuzzy Cognitive Maps

arXiv:2611.05664v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: A neuro-symbolic system should combine only relevant answers from expert agents or other knowledge sources. Using only relevant experts for a given input query becomes ever more important for accuracy and scalability as the knowledge network grows and connects ever more knowledge sources. We extend the standard definition of relevance from the legal theory of evidence: An answer is relevant if and only if it is both probative and material for the matter at hand given the knowledge available. We apply this relevancy scheme to mixing the feedback fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) of real or artificial experts. The expert FCM directed causal graphs mix or combine into a common knowledge network.
