On May 31st, I presented a talk on "Evaluating and reasoning with and about
GPT", and Arun Majumdar presented a demo that shows how the technology developed by
Permion.ai LLC supports those methods.. These methods also show that ideas developed by
Charles Sanders Peirce, especially in the last decade of his life, are still at the
forefront of some of the latest developments in AI.
The Permion technology uses tensor calculus for relating the Large Language Models (LLMs)
of GPT to more traditional computational methods of AI (logic, conceptual graphs,
computational linguistics, neural networks, and statistics) . With these methods, the
Permion software can use GPT for its ability to translate languages (natural and
artificial) and to retrieve large volumes of useful data from the WWW.
By using conceptual graphs and formal deduction, Permion can detect and avoid the errors
caused by the loose or nonexistent reasoning methods of GPT while taking advantage of its
useful features for processing languages.
