Conceptron: The Dawn of Conceptual AI?
Ron Pisaturo, founder of Conceptron.
Inductica is a proud supporter of Conceptron, a research project in the field of language models. Conceptron is investigating novel forms of word embeddings, concept-to-concrete connectivity, gradient descent, autoregressive training, logical inference, and text generation.
Conceptron employs an architecture similar to the idea of “conceptual spaces” from Peter Gärdenfors (2000, 2014, and 2026), and inspired by the idea of ranges of measurement from Ayn Rand's theory of concepts. Instead of word embeddings being points in a hyperspace, as in contemporary large language models, Conceptron's word embeddings are overlapping volumes in the hyperspace. The same hyperspace also embeds concrete instances as points within the volumes.
