Neurosymbolic Fusion Bridging Deep Learning and Symbolic Reasoning
Abstract Neurosymbolic AI represents a transformative approach in artificial intelligence research by uniting the powerful pattern recognition capabilities of deep learning with the clarity and logical structure of symbolic reasoning. This fusion promises to overcome the “black-box” limitations of conventional neural networks while enhancing interpretability, transparency, and decision‐making. In this article, we introduce neurosymbolic AI, trace its historical evolution, detail its key components, and explore its applications and challenges. By offering a clear, accessible explanation of this emerging field, we aim to provide readers with insights into how neurosymbolic systems can drive the next generation of explainable AI. 1. Introduction The landscape of artificial intelligence (AI) has evolved rapidly over the past few decades. Early approaches in AI predominantly relied on symbolic methods systems built on logic, rules, and human‑defined knowledge representations. In contr...
