A knowledge generation machine (KGM) that performs cross-channel dependency resolution is provided. The conventional dependency resolution process often treats irresolvable cross-channel references as an error state, thus ignoring sometimes critical software dependency information. By performing post-processing cross-channel resolution on the dependency model, the KGM can create a robust dependency model that includes dependencies for a software component in multiple segments of information. The dependency model is not restricted to modeling a single segmented space.
