Neural-Symbolic Learning Systems Foundations and Applications / by Artur S. d'Avila Garcez, Krysia B. Broda, Dov M. Gabbay.

Artificial Intelligence is concerned with producing devices that help or replace human beings in their daily activities. Neural-symbolic learning systems play a central role in this task by combining, and trying to benefit from, the advantages of both the neural and symbolic paradigms of artificial...
