TermFull NameDescription
GNGGrowing Neural GasSelf-organizing neural network that learns text data structure. Adaptively places nodes (concept representative points) according to data distribution and connects them with edges. Foundation technology for ThinkNavi’s concept structure models
MSTMinimum Spanning TreeEdge network connecting GNG nodes with minimum total distance. Represents the most efficient connection structure between concepts
UMAPUniform Manifold Approximation and ProjectionNon-linear dimension reduction algorithm that compresses high-dimensional data to low dimensions. Preserves local relationships between concepts while reducing to analyzable dimensions
EmbeddingEmbeddingProcess of converting text to fixed-length numerical vectors. Semantically similar texts are placed close together in vector space. Uses OpenAI’s text-embedding-3 model
NodeNodeConcept representative point placed by GNG through learning. Occupies a specific position in data space with surrounding data (text) assigned to it
ClusterClusterGroups of similar concepts (nodes) organized by theme. Classified using algorithms like Ward’s method or K-Means
CCMConnected Concept ModelMultiple models built from different text columns of the same dataset (e.g., concept names and summaries), linked by row index. Enables multi-faceted analysis
Personal ModelPersonal ModelUser-specific concept structure model automatically built from kept chat messages. Functions as AI’s long-term memory
MindwareMindwareConcept structure model packaged as content. Viewable and purchasable in the store, with knowledge exploration through AI dialogue
ConciergeConciergeAI chat widget automatically built from documents or websites. Embedded on external sites to auto-respond to visitor questions
CreditCreditUsage unit for AI operations within ThinkNavi. Required credit amounts are defined for each operation. 1 credit ≈ $0.032
DialektikeDialektikeSocratic intellectual dialogue mode. AI acts as an equal dialogue partner, deepening thinking based on concept model knowledge. Also called Discourse Dojo
ChunkChunkText fragment. In concept extraction and model building, text is split into chunks before processing
RehydrationRehydrationProcess of restoring saved model state to an engine session. Automatically performed when a session times out
Memory ObserverMemory ObserverAuxiliary AI that automatically determines “Does this question need past knowledge?” for chat questions. Triggers context injection from the Personal Model
QEQuantization ErrorIndicator of how accurately a node represents actual data. Lower values indicate higher representativeness
AHPAnalytic Hierarchy ProcessDecision-making method based on multiple criteria. Derives weights through pairwise comparison and scores alternatives
SSEServer-Sent EventsOne-way streaming communication from server to client. Used to display chat responses in real-time
