Philosophical Traditions Informing My Research

Nyāya Epistemology

A school of Indian logic that developed sophisticated frameworks for valid knowledge acquisition, reasoning patterns, and error detection that can inform AI verification systems.

Pratyabhijñā Recognition

Kashmir Shaivism's approach to self-recognition and reflexive awareness, providing models for metacognitive capabilities in advanced AI architectures.

Aristotelian Logic

Classical Western frameworks for syllogistic reasoning and categorization that have influenced formal logical approaches in AI system design.

Buddhist Madhyamaka

Nāgārjuna's emptiness doctrine and logical examination of inherent existence offers strategies for handling uncertainty and contextuality in AI reasoning.

Applications in AI Architecture

1

Epistemological Validation

Implementing Nyāya's pramāṇa system to create specialized validation mechanisms for different types of knowledge in AI systems, improving reliability and reducing hallucinations.

2

Metacognitive Monitoring

Developing neural circuits inspired by Pratyabhijñā's reflexive awareness concepts to create self-monitoring capabilities that improve reasoning transparency.

3

Error Classification

Applying Nyāya's khyātivāda (theory of error) to develop more sophisticated error detection and correction mechanisms in reasoning pathways.

4

Contextual Reasoning

Using Buddhist dialectical approaches to enhance contextual understanding in LLMs, improving performance on tasks requiring nuanced interpretation.
