ruvector-domain-expansion

Cross-domain transfer learning — train on one problem, get better at a different one automatically.

ruvector-domain-expansion = "0.1"

Most AI systems learn one task at a time. Train a model on genomics and it can't trade stocks. Teach it quantum circuits and it won't plan workflows. ruvector-domain-expansion changes that: knowledge learned in one domain automatically transfers to other domains — and it proves the transfer actually helped before committing it. Genomics priors seed molecular design. Trading risk models improve resource allocation. Quantum noise detection accelerates signal processing. This is how real generalization works. Part of the RuVector ecosystem.

	ruvector-domain-expansion	Traditional Fine-Tuning
Learning scope	Learns across 13+ domains — genomics, trading, quantum, code, planning	One task at a time
Transfer	Automatic: priors from Domain 1 seed Domain 2	Manual: retrain from scratch per domain
Verification	Transfer only accepted if it helps target without hurting source	No verification — hope it works
Strategy selection	Thompson Sampling picks the best approach per context	Fixed strategy for all inputs
Population search	8 policy variants evolve in parallel, best survives	Single model, single strategy
Curiosity	Explores under-visited areas automatically	Only learns from data you provide

Quick Start

use ruvector_domain_expansion::{
    DomainExpansionEngine, DomainId, ContextBucket, ArmId,
};

let mut engine = DomainExpansionEngine::new();

// Generate training tasks in any domain
let domain = DomainId("rust_synthesis".into());
let tasks = engine.generate_tasks(&domain, 10, 0.5); // 10 tasks, medium difficulty

// Select strategy using Thompson Sampling
let bucket = ContextBucket { difficulty_tier: "medium".into(), category: "algorithm".into() };
let arm = engine.select_arm(&domain, &bucket).unwrap();

// Evaluate and learn
let eval = engine.evaluate_and_record(&domain, &tasks[0], &solution, bucket, arm);

// Transfer knowledge to a completely different domain
let target = DomainId("structured_planning".into());
engine.initiate_transfer(&domain, &target);
// Planning now starts at 0.70 accuracy instead of 0.30 — transfer verified and promoted

Domain Ecosystem

Domain expansion draws on the full RuVector capability stack. Each domain contributes unique knowledge that transfers to others through shared embedding spaces.

Core Domains (Built-In)

Every domain produces embeddings in the same vector space. When you transfer from genomics to planning, the engine extracts compact priors (Beta posteriors from Thompson Sampling), seeds them into the target domain, and verifies the transfer helped — using the same coherence metrics that quantum computing uses to decide "is this circuit safe to run?"

How Transfer Works

                                    Verification Gate:
                                    ✓ Target improved (coherence check)
                                    ✓ Source didn't regress (EWC++ protected)
                                    ✓ Acceleration > 1.0 (scoreboard)
                                    → Transfer PROMOTED

Cross-Domain Transfer Examples

Source Domain	Target Domain	What Transfers	Why It Works
Genomics	Molecular Design	Sequence similarity priors, structural feature embeddings	Both work with sparse biological feature vectors
Trading	Resource Allocation	Risk/reward tradeoff models, Kelly-style sizing	Same math — allocate limited budget across uncertain options

Spiking Neural	Attention Design	STDP timing rules, lateral inhibition patterns	Biological attention and AI attention share structural principles
Graph Transformer	Code Synthesis	Dependency ordering, proof-gated mutation logic	Code compilation and graph mutation both require valid ordering
Scientific OCR	Planning	Equation structure, logical step decomposition	Mathematical proofs and multi-step plans share sequential reasoning
