| Abstract |
AI has long suffered from being split in (at least) two schools, the symbolic and the non-symbolic. Until recently, those two schools of thought were barely communicating. In the recent year or two there has been an inspiring wave of attempts to combine the two schools of thought, trying to combine the strong points of both.
As part of the joint VU/UvA Master in AI, we (Annette, Sara and me) are teaching a new seminar-course where with a limited number of students we will read the recent literature on combine symbolic and statistical AI. In this WAI presentation I want to outline the course, present some of the literature we will read in the course, and hopefully get inspiration from you on other literature to read and possible student projects to do. |
