TRIPOD: three-action learning automaton for Tsetlin machine learning

Key Points

This research aims to enhance the Tsetlin Machine by introducing TRIPOD, a three-action automaton that ensures mutual exclusivity in clause composition.
Introduced TRIPOD as a modification to the standard Tsetlin Machine, each associated with a pair of literals.
Compared clause counts and training cycles between TRIPOD and the standard TM and TRIM.
TRIPOD achieves comparable accuracy to TM and TRIM with 2.5–4 times fewer clauses.
Training cycles are drastically reduced with TRIPOD, enhancing overall efficiency.

Abstract

Tsetlin Machine (TM) is a rule-based machine-learning algorithm comprising collectives of two-action Tsetlin Automata (TAs) that cooperatively form conjunctive logical clauses from Boolean inputs through stochastic feedback. The standard TM does not constrain clause composition, and therefore mutual exclusivity between a literal and its complement within the same clause is not inherently guaranteed, potentially leading to inflated clause counts and longer training cycles. This paper introduces TRIPOD, a three-action learning automaton that extends the TM paradigm to reduce hardware complexity, enhance energy efficiency, and improve learning reliability and resource utilisation. Unlike the standard TM model, where each TA is associated with a single literal, each TRIPOD is associated with a pair of literals, a variable and its complement, ensuring mutual exclusivity within a clause. Compared with TRIM, an earlier proposal for a three-action automaton, TRIPOD achieves comparable accuracy using 2.5–4x fewer clauses and drastically reduced training cycles.
