SEMINAR

2025

Neurosymbolic AI: Bridging Deep Learning and Probabilistic Logic Rules Abstract: The talk explores the integration of Neurosymbolic AI, a paradigm that merges deep learning (sub-symbolic) with probabilistic logic programming (symbolic reasoning). The objective is to leverage the scalability and pattern recognition abilities of neural networks while incorporating the interpretability and structured knowledge of symbolic AI. The discussion begins by introducing Probabilistic Logic Programming (PLP) and its application in representing uncertain knowledge. Key tasks such as inference, parameter learning, and structure learning are explored, showcasing how probabilistic reasoning can be systematically applied to structured data. Building upon PLP, the talk presents Lifted Probabilistic Logic Programming (LPLP), which enhances efficiency by reasoning over groups of entities rather than individuals. Then Hierarchical Probabilistic Logic Programming (HPLP), a structured framework that introduces multiple layers of abstraction in probabilistic logic programs, enabling more complex knowledge representation. HPLP can be converted into Deep neural Networks bridging the gap between Neural and symbolic AI. Practical applications of Neurosymbolic AI in healthcare are discussed, including predicting critical COVID-19 conditions through a hybrid model that combines decision trees, deep convolutional networks, and probabilistic reasoning.
