The broader impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is substantial improvement in artificial intelligence. Despite advances in AI, the current state-of-the-art platforms are still weak in learning and require large amounts of training data. The proposed system creates a better AI system by exploring more relationships within complex data sets. The initial application is cancer detection in genomic data. This Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project is to develop a novel relation-oriented machine learning platform. Current platforms are object-oriented, where objects (e.g., words, sequence data, etc.) are represented as feature vectors. The feature vector representation is powerful in performing tasks such as pattern recognition, classification, and regression but ineffective in learning the interrelationships of objects in great detail. An in-depth understanding of objects is paramount in learning. Also, the meaning of objects is defined and can only be defined through their interrelationship with other objects. Based on category theory in mathematics and quantum physics, the proposed platform is relation-oriented. It maps and preserves the interrelationship between objects in all dimensions. Based on the observed concurrences of objects and their relations, the platform fuses them to create more complex objects progressively and learns their interrelations iteratively to form a hierarchical structure associated with the dataset. This platform automatically learns the meaning of objects and the governing rules between them.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

小企业创新研究 (SBIR) 第一阶段项目的更广泛影响是人工智能的重大改进。尽管人工智能取得了进步，但当前最先进的平台在学习方面仍然薄弱，并且需要大量的训练数据。所提出的系统通过探索复杂数据集中的更多关系来创建更好的人工智能系统。 最初的应用是基因组数据中的癌症检测。这个小型企业创新研究（SBIR）第一阶段项目是开发一种新颖的面向关系的机器学习平台。当前的平台是面向对象的，其中对象（例如，单词、序列数据等）被表示为特征向量。特征向量表示在执行模式识别、分类和回归等任务方面非常强大，但在详细了解对象的相互关系方面却无效。对物体的深入理解对于学习至关重要。此外，对象的意义是被定义的，并且只能通过它们与其他对象的相互关系来定义。基于数学和量子物理学的范畴论，所提出的平台是面向关系的。它映射并保留所有维度的对象之间的相互关系。基于观察到的对象及其关系的并发性，该平台将它们融合以逐步创建更复杂的对象，并迭代地学习它们的相互关系以形成与数据集相关的层次结构。该平台自动学习对象的含义以及它们之间的管理规则。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
