SYS.BUILD // OPEN_SOURCE

Open Source AI Projects

Research-grade, open-source frameworks advancing education technology, academic integrity, and transparent verification. Built by the Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences (ACLAS) from first principles — not API wrappers.

MANIFESTO // WHY_OPEN

Code is MIT. Data is CC.

A university that keeps its methods secret is a black box with a diploma printer. ACLAS builds in the open because the claim we make — we're prototyping the university of 2030 — is only verifiable if anyone can inspect, reproduce, and fork the work.

Every system below is developed and maintained by the Atlanta College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. Use them, cite them, break them, improve them. That's the point.

PROJECT.01 // AI + EDUCATION

NEURO-EDU SDK

Autonomous Cognitive Simulation Framework for AI-Powered Education

A research-grade, open-source multi-agent cognitive simulation framework that models human knowledge acquisition using on-device neural networks, vector-space semantics, and thermodynamic entropy analysis.

ON-DEVICE NEURAL KERNELPure NumPy MLP with real backpropagation
MULTI-AGENT SOCIAL LEARNING20+ autonomous agents in collaborative environments
COGNITIVE-GROUNDED ALIGNMENTExtended RLHF with cognitive penalty terms
HUGGING FACE INTEGRATIONCollaborative research and federated evaluation

PROJECT.02 // ACADEMIC INTEGRITY

AEGIS GRAPH

Open-source academic credential verification prototype

A public framework for exploring evidence mapping, review workflows, and transparent credential verification in the age of synthetic data.

VISION FORENSICSPixel-level and OCR-based AI artifact detection
GRAPH NAVIGATORInstitution evidence with ROR lookup
LOGIC AUDITOREvidence-weighted consistency checks
AUDIT TRAILTransparent review records for credentials
Agentic GraphRAG102k+ NodesMulti-Agent Swarm8-Language MatrixVision Forensics
PROJECT.03 // KNOWLEDGE GRAPH

POLYMATH

Open higher-education taxonomy and curriculum knowledge graph

University courses, prerequisites, degree pathways, skills, careers, ECTS, US credits, ISCED-F and CIP codes. The map every "build your own degree" tool needs.

PROJECT.04 // IDENTITY // UTILITY

SWOT

Academic email and domain identifier

Identifies email addresses and domain names that belong to colleges or universities. Automates the academic-discount approval process — a small tool that removes real friction in student life.

DATASETS // OPEN_DATA

The data is open too

Four research datasets published by ACLAS under CC-BY-4.0, with DOIs on Zenodo and mirrors on HuggingFace and Kaggle.
