NeSy conference

About the channel

The NeSy conference studies the integration of deep learning and symbolic AI, combining neural network-based statistical machine learning with knowledge representation and reasoning from symbolic approaches. Neural networks and statistical machine learning have achieved relevance in industries from healthcare to finance, obtaining state-of-the-art performance at language modelling, speech and image recognition, sensor data and graph analytics. While symbolic AI struggles with large unstructured datasets, it offers sound and well-understood formal reasoning and explanations via inspectable knowledge representations. These approaches complement each other in their strengths: deep learning excels at raw data processing, but fails at planning and rich deductive reasoning.
