Dr. Houbing Herbert Song: “Neuro-symbolic AI: The Third Wave of AI”
August 18 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Abstract: There are three waves of Artificial Intelligence. The first Wave of AI is Crafted Knowledge, which includes rule-based AI systems. The second wave of AI is Statistical Learning, which includes machine becoming intelligent by using statistical methods. The third wave of AI is contextual adaptation. In the third wave, instead of learning from data, intelligent machines will understand and perceive the world on its own, and learn by understanding the world and reason with it. Neuro-symbolic AI, which combines neural networks with symbolic representations, has emerged as a promising solution of the third wave of AI. In this talk, first I will share my journey from counter-unmanned aircraft systems to explainable AI to neuro-symbolic AI. Then I will present the past, present, and future of neuro-symbolic AI. I will also share my perspective on the emerging area of neuro-symbolic <a href="http://AI.
