Four Ps for Building Massive Collective Knowledge Systems
Anil Madhavapeddy
Abstract
I've been building some big collective knowledge systems recently, both for scholarly literature or to power large-scale observational foundation models. While the modalities of knowledge in these systems are very different, they share a common set of design principles I've noticed while building individual pieces. A good computer architecture is one that can be re-used, and I've been mulling over what this exactly is for some time.
