1. Introduction to Neural Symbolic AI
1.1 Background of Neural Symbolic AI
The concept of Neural Symbolic AI (NSAI) emerges from the integration of two dominant paradigms in the field of artificial intelligence: neural networks and symbolic reasoning. Neural networks, inspired by the structure and function of the human brain, excel in tasks that involve pattern recognition, prediction, and classification. On the other hand, symbolic reasoning leverages formal logic and knowledge representation to perform inference and deduction tasks, providing a structured approach to understanding and reasoning about the world.
The idea of combining these two paradigms has been explored for s
