The symbolic reasoning you're talking about is going to make a comeback through probabilistic inductive programming, so don't dismiss it. It is necessary to attain sample efficiency and generalizability, which is virtually impossible with purely statistical approaches. I recommend you look into Josh Tenenbaum's work: http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6022/1279 http://science.sciencemag.org/content/331/6022/1279.
- AndrewKemendo 8y agoI wasn't clear with that statement. As clarification, I'm not saying that GOFAI approaches aren't going to get better or be more relevant. Rather, the AI community has really good confidence that you can "fool" every AI approach to date. That has been true the longest for GOFAI approaches, and now we're doing it for DL/RL.
