Neural Models with Symbolic Representations for Perceptuo-Reasoning Tasks
Mausam, head of Yardi School of AI at IIT Delhi and affiliate professor at University of Washington, will discuss Neuro-Symbolic AI. The talk will cover recent research threads with applications in NLP, probabilistic decision-making, and constraint satisfaction. Mausam's research explores neuro-symbolic machine learning, computer vision for radiology, NLP for robotics, multilingual NLP, and intelligent information systems. Why it matters: Neuro-Symbolic AI is gaining importance as it combines the strengths of neural and symbolic approaches, potentially leading to more robust and explainable AI systems.
