Neuro-Symbolic AI Summer School 2025
Tired of the same old AI ideas and looking for something new? Or wondering if there are any deep alternatives to models that hallucinate, elude human debuggability, and have only limited ability to reason, plan, or do math?
📢 Please join us for the 4rd Neuro-Symbolic AI Summer School (NSSS), a free, fully-remote meeting to be held Aug 14-15, 2025 - where you can learn how to be part of this exciting area at the most forward-looking cutting edge of AI. This year's theme is "AI for Precise Computation: Mathematics, Reasoning, and Planning".

🌐 NSSS ‘25 is the latest in a series of research and educational events that aim to accelerate progress in the fast-emerging area of neuro-symbolic AI by teaching graduate students, data scientists, and researchers principles from the side of AI they may be less familiar with, as well as presenting a curation of emerging research ideas at the intersection.
🎯 The focus of the event is on techniques, in particular those which augment neural network/ML ideas with symbolic AI ideas, to address at least three main open problems of AI: 1) human interpretability/controllability, 2) learning with less data/computation (e.g. via knowledge), and 3) out-of-distribution generalization (e.g. via reasoning).
