AI, DATA, AND THE SCIENCE OF OPEN INTELLIGENCE


🧠 Architecting a Self-Learning Knowledge Ecosystem

The Avin Knowledge Hub is not a static repository —
it is a living, self-learning ecosystem built on AI, blockchain verification, and machine-readable metadata.

Knowledge without evolution becomes history. Knowledge with intelligence becomes progress.

Every paper, dataset, and case study within the Hub communicates with each other —
forming a neural web of maritime intelligence.


⚙️ AI Knowledge Graph Architecture

At the core of the Hub operates the Avin Knowledge Graph (AKG) — an AI-driven system that maps relationships between research topics, authors, data sources, and impact metrics.
