Short summary
This RFP seeks the development of advanced tools and techniques for interfacing with, refining, and evaluating knowledge graphs that support reasoning in AGI systems. Projects may target any part of the graph lifecycle — from extraction to refinement to benchmarking — and should optionally support symbolic reasoning within the OpenCog Hyperon framework, including compatibility with the MeTTa language and MORK knowledge graph. Bids are expected to range from $10,000 - $200,000.
Main purpose
To develop advanced tools, algorithms, and/or frameworks for interfacing with, refining, augmentating, and evaluating knowledge graphs that support reasoning and symbolic processes within AGI systems. Solutions should aim to be domain-agnostic and, where possible, demonstrate integration with the MeTTa language and/or the MORK graph database for symbolic reasoning acceleration.
Long description
SingularityNET and its partners (OpenCog Foundation, TrueAGI) are building an ecosystem for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) centered on the Hyperon framework. Within this architecture, knowledge graphs play a foundational role in enabling symbolic inference, analogical reasoning, causal understanding, and memory management. However, building and maintaining high-quality knowledge graphs remains a technically challenging and largely unsolved problem — particularly in dynamic or noisy domains like scientific research, open-ended learning, and evolving human knowledge. The goal of this RFP is to fund the development of open, extensible, and scalable tools to improve the full lifecycle of knowledge graphs in ways that stand to improve their integrity and utility in the context of neuro-symbolic AI. We welcome a wide range of proposals — including new extraction pipelines, refinement systems, dynamic update methods, schema-agnostic structuring tools, or benchmark frameworks to evaluate knowledge graph utility for AI reasoning. These systems could support one or more of the following use cases, with an emphasis on interface and utility over construction from scratch:
Creating and populating knowledge graphs from raw or semi-structured data (e.g., text, JSON, MeTTa expressions, publications).
Refining or distilling large, noisy, or redundant graphs into compact and semantically meaningful structures.
Detecting contradictions, inconsistencies, or anomalies in graph structure or contents (e.g., conflicting statements, invalid patterns).
Fact-checking or grounding LLM outputs using structured knowledge from knowledge graphs.
Designing or visualizing interfaces for how AGI systems reason with, act upon, or update knowledge graphs.
Annotating or weighting entities and relations (e.g., via confidence scores, semantic types, relationship types, etc.).
Enabling continuous graph updates with mechanisms for node/edge obsolescence detection.
Evaluating the effectiveness of knowledge graphs in supporting AGI reasoning tasks such as multi-hop question answering, analogical retrieval, and hypothesis generation.
Exporting or converting knowledge graphs into formats consumable by other symbolic tools like MeTTa or the MORK system.
Solutions that can demonstrate compatibility or integration with the MORK system — a fast hypergraph backend for MeTTa — are encouraged. MORK’s ability to process billion-scale symbolic spaces at interactive speeds opens up new possibilities for real-time reasoning, retrieval, and cognitive synergy within Hyperon-based agents. We encourage proposals that are modular and reusable across domains, and that can demonstrate either standalone value or close integration with the existing SingularityNET ecosystem. Potential contributors are also welcome to collaborate or coordinate with the developers of MeTTa, Atomspace, or MORK to ensure alignment and future extensibility. Background & experience: A significant part of reviewing proposals goes into evaluating the ability of a team to execute the work. Please provide in as much detail as possible related experience and accolades, and supply links to anything we can read such as published work, github, etc.
