Abstract
Knowledge reasoning and representation in artificial intelligence (AI) are pivotal for advancing predictive research in threat identification. The rapid increase in large-scale data has spurred the deployment of automated solutions, yet current machine learning interfaces still struggle to reliably predict anomalous behaviors—limiting their suitability for critical decision-making. To address this challenge, recent advances in graph neural network theory and modern Koopman theory for dynamical systems have enabled the development of deep graph representation learning techniques combined with knowledge graph construction. This approach enhances threat classification accuracy by learning graph embeddings that capture outlier threat scores. Iterative comparisons using graph similarity measures between the predicted generative graph and the ground truth further refine the predictions. Dimensionality reduction is achieved using Koopman on violent incident information from news articles. The proposed Semi-supervised Predictive Autoencoder Representation using Koopman Learning Evolution (SPARKLE) method offers a scalable, adaptive framework for evolving intelligence, ultimately providing real-time situational awareness in future threat monitoring systems. Future suggested research integrates this innovative approach with multiple authoritative data sources to further advance AI-driven modern threat analysis.
