Cross-architecture consensus combining transformer-based LLMs with recurrent reasoning models featuring PonderNet adaptive computation and Mixture-of-Domain-Experts for superior error decorrelation in high-stakes classification.
HES achieves genuine error decorrelation by combining fundamentally different AI architectures—each bringing unique strengths and failure modes that don't overlap.
Large-scale transformer-based language models with internet-scale pre-training, providing broad knowledge coverage, natural language understanding, and complex reasoning capabilities.
Small-scale TRM/HRM models trained from random initialization on domain-specific datasets, providing specialized pattern recognition with zero pre-training bias contamination.
The breakthrough comes from requiring agreement across fundamentally different model architectures. Tier A × Tier E correlation of just 0.10-0.20 (vs 0.40-0.60 within Tier A) provides true independence, reducing coincident failures by 79-86%.
HES achieves superior error decorrelation through four complementary mechanisms that ensure genuine architectural and training diversity.
Tier E recurrent models employ fundamentally different computational paradigms from Tier A transformers, creating orthogonal error patterns that don't overlap.
Tier E models execute 12-384 effective computational layers through recursive application, adapting depth to problem complexity. Tier A transformers have fixed layer counts (12-96 layers).
Adaptive: 12-384 layersTier E models iterate in continuous latent representation space. Tier A models generate discrete token sequences through self-attention mechanisms.
Orthogonal reasoning pathsTier E models employ multi-timescale processing with high-level planning and low-level refinement. Tier A models process in a single forward pass.
Multi-timescale processingTier E models are trained from random initialization on domain-specific data without exposure to internet-scale pre-training corpora, eliminating shared bias contamination.
Tier E models trained on 1,000-15,000 domain-specific examples (cybersecurity incidents, insurance fraud cases, medical adverse events) develop specialized pattern recognition absent in general-purpose LLMs.
1K-15K domain examplesTier E models have no prior exposure to internet text, Wikipedia articles, or common knowledge. They learn only task-relevant patterns without inheriting internet-scale biases.
Zero contaminationTier E models can be retrained on individual customer data, achieving patterns unique to specific operational environments and fraud landscapes.
Personalized modelsTier E models implement continuous learning from production deployment, enabling progressive specialization that increases independence over time.
Error correlation decreases from 0.15-0.20 (Month 0) to <0.05 (Month 12) as models specialize to customer-specific patterns.
0.20 → <0.05 correlationAs Tier E models specialize to customer patterns, they become increasingly independent from general-purpose Tier A models, improving ensemble accuracy.
Increasing independenceReal-world outcomes guide model evolution through prioritized retraining on architectural disagreement cases and high-impact examples.
Continuous improvementThe system requires agreement across architectural boundaries before accepting high-confidence predictions, ensuring robust error correction through complementary failure modes.
Ensemble voting terminates early only when BOTH sufficient margin AND cross-architecture agreement are achieved, preventing false confidence.
Dual confirmation requiredWhen Tier A and Tier E disagree, despite high individual confidence, the case is escalated for human review—catching errors both architectures would miss alone.
Smart escalationTier A and Tier E exhibit disjoint failure modes due to architectural differences, enabling mutual error correction when combined in consensus.
Mutual error correctionTier E models incorporate cutting-edge adaptive computation and sparse expert routing for maximum efficiency and domain specialization.
Fully differentiable adaptive computation time with interpretable λ_p prior parameter. Determines computation depth per input with mathematically rigorous halting decisions and unbiased gradient estimation.
Sparse, domain-specialized computation within the 5M-30M parameter budget. Routes inputs through specialized expert subnetworks optimized for distinct reasoning domains.
The novel combination of PonderNet and MoDE enables adaptive-depth expert routing where PonderNet determines computation depth per input, and MoDE expert selection varies across reasoning steps within that depth—enabling multi-domain reasoning chains where different experts activate for different pondering steps based on evolving hidden state.
