SLIC.AI

Unveiling Hidden Patterns, Predicting Critical Outcomes

technology Snapshot

Overview

SLIC.AI is an advanced suite of tools that significantly enhances intelligence and counterintelligence operations. It employs deep big-data analytics to uncover hidden patterns and characteristics within extensive datasets. This platform swiftly classifies, provides insights, and forecasts outcomes, delving into a vast array of publicly accessible scientific articles and other documents, reaching depths of analysis unattainable by existing methods. SLIC.AI’s effectiveness has been substantiated through multiple practical field demonstrations, including:

  • Discovery of emerging research trends within a subject of interest;
  • Detection of trend shifts that may signal changes in institutional
    focus or the rise of new technologies;
  • Analysis of research activities, trends, and unseen networks to map
    scientific field and forecast innovation paths;
  • Cyber threat detection;
  • Modeling patterns for emergency response in electrical power grid &
    nuclear incidence response.
  • Data super-compression
  • Domain-specific generative AI, RAGs and Knowledge Graphs

SLIC.AI works seamlessly with its sister AI capability, Anomaly Learning in Emergency Tracking Situations (ALERTs), a tool for fingerprinting and detecting various anomalies for rapid/real-time identification, characterization, and classification of data from both labeled and unlabeled extra-large datasets for a wide variety information needs.

Unlike existing AI products targeting military and national security needs, SLIC.AI distinguishes itself by building advanced knowledge graphs. This capability enables the visualization and computational handling of complex interrelationships that are uniquely accessible and efficient for specific queries and analyses.

Advantages

Its state-of-the-art methods:

  • Identify and extract latent features in very large data sets
  • Offers explainable machine learning
  • Makes informative, robust predictions
  • Determines dependencies automatically

Technology Description

SLIC.AI provides explainable unsupervised learning, text mining, features extraction, dimension reduction, anomaly detection, data completion, data fusion, and data compression of extra-large datasets of sparse and dense data beyond the reach of state-of-the-art methods. The platform includes non-negative tensor network algorithms that analyze very high-dimensional tensors. SLIC.AI has developed the first distributed non-negative tensor train (TT) network. TT network is very effective for super compression (> 106) of high-dimensional data.

For ultra-large low-dimensional objects, SLIC.AI utilizes Quantized Tensor Train (QTT), which reshapes large vectors and matrices into d-dimensional tensors with a small number of elements in each dimension. QTT also achieves a super-compression. Applying a hybrid TT/QTT format, SLIC.AI reached yottabyte-sized compression of real neutron transport matrix operators. SLIC.AI can distill and curate highly specific text corpora to build specific
structures in Knowledge Graphs (KG). This ability of SLIC.AI serves to fine-tune LLMs and minimize hallucinations of Generative AI applications.
