How does collective learning work?

Collective learning is an approach to training AI models that leverages diverse skills and knowledge across multiple models. It involves pooling large amounts of data from various sources and applying techniques to uncover common patterns.

The training data is first anonymized to protect sensitive information while exposing linguistic regularities. Next, the data is normalized, transforming specific entities into more general categories. This reveals similarities in how people discuss issues across different companies and industries.

For example, video conferencing tools like Zoom, Webex, and Hangouts can all be considered instances of the broader category "video conferencing application." Questions about granting access to each tool exhibit the same logical patterns when normalized this way.

By generalizing entities and language constructs, models can learn richer representations that transfer across organizations. Starting from just a few examples, models can generate many new combinations and recognize the structure of unseen issues.

This collective approach means models become exponentially better at understanding language as more data is aggregated. Rather than needing large internal datasets, companies of any size can benefit from pooled data representing the universal nature of many IT problems. Collective learning allows models to develop a comprehensive understanding of the IT domain.

Why is collective learning important?

Collective learning enables AI models to develop a comprehensive understanding of concepts by collaboratively learning from diverse datasets. By pooling anonymized data from different companies and industries, models can identify linguistic patterns that underpin common issues faced in domains like IT support.

Normalizing this aggregated data reveals universal similarities, allowing models to grasp ideas that transfer across unique organizations. Collective learning empowers companies of any size to benefit from robust AI systems that continue to maximize their capabilities through exposure to new examples over time. Rather than being limited by individual datasets, models can transcend these boundaries through a collaborative approach to training that unlocks the full potential of AI.

Why collective learning matters for companies?

Collective learning democratizes access to advanced AI capabilities. By pooling data and insights from various organizations, even smaller companies can harness the power of AI models without needing massive internal datasets. This collaborative approach amplifies the AI's understanding of common issues and patterns, making it more effective in solving real-world problems.

In essence, collective learning empowers companies to stay competitive in the AI-driven landscape, enabling them to tap into a shared knowledge pool to fuel innovation and problem-solving while respecting privacy and security considerations.
