Abstract

Neuro-symbolic approaches aim at achieving state-of-the-art performance with less data while providing more factually correct and consistent answers. In this research project, the student shall review the literature on neuro-symbolic approaches to question answering and other complex reasoning tasks, by implementing toolsets and evaluating on public benchmarks.
