That kind of neuro-symbolic AI is a bit like British cuisine: place two different things next to each other in the same plate, like bangers and mash, and call it "a dish". Nope. This is neurosymbolic AI: Abductive Knowledge Induction From Raw Data https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~shm/Papers/abdmetarawIJCAI.pdf https://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~shm/Papers/abdmetarawIJCAI.pdf That's a symbolic learning engine trained in tandem with a neural net. The symbolic engine is learning to label examples for the neural net that learns to label examples for the symbolic engine. I call that cooking! (Full disclosure: the authors of the paper are my thesis advisor and a dear colleague).
