Hi, T have very little experience with Logic based Al algorithms, and my understanding is these machines use propositional logic algorithms (which wasn't something I have come across before, even when I was in uni).

My experience is in statistical & neural based networks and can understand the pros and cons of those networks.

I am just trying to understand what is the advantage and disadvantages of logic based algorithms specifically Tsetlin Machines? Is this something that I should learn more about? What are some good resources?

Thanks

Hi u/Load-Consideration-2! I am currently writing a book on this and some of the chapters are already available: https://tsetlinmachine.org. There is also source code for many of the latest advances here: https://github.com/cair/tmu.

Logical learning with the Tsetlin machine is fully transparent. Still, it is similar to neural networks because it learns non-linear patterns, supports convolution, and learns online, one example at a time.
The Tsetlin machine is only 5 years old, and our biggest challenge is actually not inductive bias, but too high expression power that gives overfitting, just like neural networks before us. There is lots of ongoing research and progress here, and I think we have only seen the beginning.
Here is a recent paper that illustrates the benefits of Tsetlin machines in natural language processing and image analysis: https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/26588. Here is a paper on medical image analysis: https://arxiv.org/abs/2301.10181.
Where the Tsetlin machine currently excels is energy-constrained edge machine learning, where you can get up to 10000x less energy consumption and 1000x faster inference (https://www.mignon.ai).
My goal is to create an alternative to BigTech’s black boxes: free, green, transparent, and logical (http://cair.uia.no).

This is so cool. I’ve never heard of your creation before this post. I’m a pure mathematician turned statistician just getting their feet wet with neural networks and other more modern approaches to regression and classification. This is very cool work you’re doing.
