Gary Marcus (New York University & Geometric Intelligence Inc., U.S.A.) == INVITED SPEAKERS == Andrea Passerini (University of Trento, Italy) Thomas Trappenberg (Dalhousie University, Canada) == WORKSHOP TOPIC == Artificial Intelligence researchers continue to face huge challenges in their quest to develop truly intelligent systems. The recent developments in the field of neural-symbolic integration bring an opportunity to integrate well-founded symbolic artificial intelligence with robust neural computing machinery to help tackle some of these challenges. The Workshop on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning is intended to create an atmosphere of exchange of ideas, providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of the key topics related to neural-symbolic integration. Topics of interest include: · The representation of symbolic knowledge by connectionist systems; · Neural Learning theory. · Integration of logic and probabilities, e.g., in neural networks, but also more generally; · Structured learning and relational learning in neural networks; · Logical reasoning carried out by neural networks; · Integrated neural-symbolic learning approaches; · Extraction of symbolic knowledge from trained neural networks; · Integrated neural-symbolic reasoning; · Neural-symbolic cognitive models; · Biologically-inspired neural-symbolic integration; · Applications in robotics, simulation, fraud prevention, natural language processing, semantic web, software engineering, fault diagnosis, bioinformatics, visual intelligence, etc. == Workshop Organisers == Tarek R.
