Abstract
Neuro-Symbolic AI (NeSy) techniques are a class of artificial intelligence techniques that focus on integrating symbolic knowledge representation and reasoning within machine learning, and deep learning in particular. This hybrid paradigm holds promise for solving intricate real-world problems involving complex reasoning, as well as designing machine learning systems that can incorporate prior knowledge and learn to satisfy hard and soft constraints. This talk will provide an overview of the current state of NeSy techniques, through the lenses of a specific NeSy framework called Logic Tensor Networks and its applications in computer vision.
