Publications by capability
100+ peer-reviewed papers spanning goal-driven autonomy, metacognition, and adaptive planning. Dannenhauer & Molineaux, 2010–2025.
World Models 10 papers
Delegance businesses use specialized, human-verified, industry-specific knowledge in our world models that governs how a business reacts to new customers and emerging problems. Decisions based on our world models are hallucination-proof and allow Delegance businesses to respond to novel problems in novel ways, rather than following the crowd by using the same LLM advice as their competitors. For operations, Delegance businesses use foundation model technology to create content at AI speeds, with the guidance of robust world model predictions.
Hypothesis Generation 15 papers
A key Delegance capability is to consider alternative hypotheses that underlie observations. This could mean, for example, hypothesizing whether a company is losing customers due to competitors, market downturns, or bad word-of-mouth. We consider multiple possible unknown events grounded in a cultivated world model, and consider evidence for and against each, to assign probability to each hypothesis. This gives Delegance companies the ability to respond to uncertainty without overcommitting.
Self-Correction 13 papers
Mistakes happen to everyone, even Delegance businesses. What distinguishes us is the way we respond to failures. Delegance businesses use reflective technology to recognize and learn from failures rather than repeating them. This allows us to respond at AI speeds in the face of changing demands, while not succumbing to the ungoverned drift and snowballing errors of systems that depend solely on foundation models for their intelligence.
