We present Odin, the first production-deployed graph intelligence engine for autonomous discovery of meaningful patterns in knowledge graphs without prior specification. Unlike retrieval-based systems that answer predefined queries, Odin guides exploration through the COMPASS (Composite Oriented Multi-signal Path Assessment) score, a novel metric that combines (1) structural importance via Personalized PageRank, (2) semantic plausibility through Neural Probabilistic Logic Learning (NPLL) used as a discriminative filter rather than generative model, (3) temporal relevance with configurable decay, and (4) community-aware guidance through GNN-identified bridge entities and inter-community affinity scores. This multi-signal integration, particularly the bridge scoring mechanism, addresses the "echo chamber" problem where graph exploration becomes trapped in dense local communities. We formalize the autonomous discovery problem, prove theoretical properties of our scoring function, and demonstrate that beam search with multi-signal guidance achieves $O(b \cdot h)$ complexity while maintaining high recall compared to exhaustive exploration. To our knowledge, Odin represents the first autonomous discovery system deployed in regulated production environments (healthcare and insurance), demonstrating significant improvements in pattern discovery quality and analyst efficiency. Our approach maintains complete provenance traceability -- a critical requirement for regulated industries where hallucination is unacceptable.

Autonomous systems will play an essential role in many applications across diverse domains including space, marine, air, field, road, and service robotics. They will assist us in our daily routines and perform dangerous, dirty and dull tasks. However, enabling robotic systems to perform autonomously in complex, real-world scenarios over extended time periods (i.e. weeks, months, or years) poses many challenges. Some of these have been investigated by sub-disciplines of Artificial Intelligence (AI) including navigation & mapping, perception, knowledge representation & reasoning, planning, inter…
This paper discusses technology and opportunities to embrace artificial intelligence (AI) in the design of autonomous wireless systems. We aim to provide readers with motivation and general AI methodology of autonomous agents in the context of self-organization in real time by unifying knowledge management with sensing, reasoning and active learning. We highlight differences between training-based methods for matching problems and training-free methods for environment-specific problems. Finally, we conceptually introduce the functions of an autonomous agent with knowledge management.

The potential for advances in information-age technologies to undermine nuclear deterrence and influence the potential for nuclear escalation represents a critical question for international politics. One challenge is that uncertainty about the trajectory of technologies such as autonomous systems and artificial intelligence (AI) makes assessments difficult. This paper evaluates the relative impact of autonomous systems and artificial intelligence in three areas: nuclear command and control, nuclear delivery platforms and vehicles, and conventional applications of autonomous systems with conse…
This paper presents a technique called evolving self-supervised neural networks - neural networks that can teach themselves, intrinsically motivated, without external supervision or reward. The proposed method presents some sort-of paradigm shift, and differs greatly from both traditional gradient-based learning and evolutionary algorithms in that it combines the metaphor of evolution and learning, more specifically self-learning, together, rather than treating these phenomena alternatively. I simulate a multi-agent system in which neural networks are used to control autonomous foraging agents…
This article is about how the "SP theory of intelligence" and its realisation in the "SP machine" (both outlined in the article) may help to solve computer-related problems in the design of autonomous robots, meaning robots that do not depend on external intelligence or power supplies, are mobile, and are designed to exhibit as much human-like intelligence as possible. The article is about: how to increase the computational and energy efficiency of computers and reduce their bulk; how to achieve human-like versatility in intelligence; and likewise for human-like adaptability in intelligence. T…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies could be broadly categorised into Analytics and Autonomy. Analytics focuses on algorithms offering perception, comprehension, and projection of knowledge gleaned from sensorial data. Autonomy revolves around decision making, and influencing and shaping the environment through action production. A smart autonomous system (SAS) combines analytics and autonomy to understand, learn, decide and act autonomously. To be useful, SAS must be trusted and that requires testing. Lifelong learning of a SAS compounds the testing process. In the remote chance that it…
Domain-aware machine learning (ML) models have been increasingly adopted for accelerating small molecule therapeutic design in the recent years. These models have been enabled by significant advancement in state-of-the-art artificial intelligence (AI) and computing infrastructures. Several ML architectures are pre-dominantly and independently used either for predicting the properties of small molecules, or for generating lead therapeutic candidates. Synergetically using these individual components along with robust representation and data generation techniques autonomously in closed loops hold…

We consider the problem of providing users of deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) based systems with a better understanding of when their output can be trusted. We offer an explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) framework that provides a three-fold explanation: a graphical depiction of the systems generalization and performance in the current game state, how well the agent would play in semantically similar environments, and a narrative explanation of what the graphical information implies. We created a user-interface for our XAI framework and evaluated its efficacy via a human-user experiment…

Perception of the lane boundaries is crucial for the tasks related to autonomous trajectory control. In this paper, several methodologies for lane detection are discussed with an experimental illustration: Hough transformation, Blob analysis, and Bird's eye view. Following the abstraction of lane marks from the boundary, the next approach is applying a control law based on the perception to control steering and speed control. In the following, a comparative analysis is made between an open-loop response, PID control, and a neural network control law through graphical statistics. To get the per…

While many see the prospect of autonomous machines as threatening, autonomy may be exactly what we want in a superintelligent machine. There is a sense of autonomy, deeply rooted in the ethical literature, in which an autonomous machine is necessarily an ethical one. Development of the theory underlying this idea not only reveals the advantages of autonomy, but it sheds light on a number of issues in the ethics of artificial intelligence. It helps us to understand what sort of obligations we owe to machines, and what obligations they owe to us. It clears up the issue of assigning responsibilit…

Due to increasing urban population and growing number of motor vehicles, traffic congestion is becoming a major problem of the 21st century. One of the main reasons behind traffic congestion is accidents which can not only result in casualties and losses for the participants, but also in wasted and lost time for the others that are stuck behind the wheels. Early detection of an accident can save lives, provides quicker road openings, hence decreases wasted time and resources, and increases efficiency. In this study, we propose a preliminary real-time autonomous accident-detection system based …
Autonomous lifelong development and learning is a fundamental capability of humans, differentiating them from current deep learning systems. However, other branches of artificial intelligence have designed crucial ingredients towards autonomous learning: curiosity and intrinsic motivation, social learning and natural interaction with peers, and embodiment. These mechanisms guide exploration and autonomous choice of goals, and integrating them with deep learning opens stimulating perspectives. Deep learning (DL) approaches made great advances in artificial intelligence, but are still far away f…

They rely heavily on advances in many Artificial Intelligence (AI) approaches and techniques. However, while some researchers in this field believe AI is the core element to enhance safety, others believe AI imposes new challenges to assure the safety of these new AI-based systems and applications. In this non-convergent context, this paper presents a systematic literature review to paint a clear picture of the state of the art of the literature in AI on AV saf…
Artificial Intelligence is an excellent tool to improve efficiency and lower cost in many quantitative real world applications, but what if the task is not easily defined? What if the task is generating creativity? Poetry is a creative endeavor that is highly difficult to both grasp and achieve with any level of competence. As Rita Dove, a famous American poet and author states, "Poetry is language at its most distilled and most powerful." Taking Doves quote as an inspiration, our task was to generate high quality haikus using artificial intelligence and deep learning.

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems have become increasingly common and the trend will continue. Examples of AI systems include autonomous vehicles (AV), computer vision, natural language processing, and AI medical experts. To allow for safe and effective deployment of AI systems, the reliability of such systems needs to be assessed. Traditionally, reliability assessment is based on reliability test data and the subsequent statistical modeling and analysis. The availability of reliability data for AI systems, however, is limited because such data are typically sensitive and proprietary. The C…
