The Return of Symbolic Reasoning…and Why It Never Left

According to expert.ai CTO Marco Varone, the most credible "approach to language understanding uses semantics and symbolic reasoning. Language understanding is for sure the most complex problem in Artificial Intelligence."

Because of the inordinate complexity surrounding language understanding with AI, the staples of symbolic reasoning-creating formal definitions and terms for enterprise knowledge, implementing taxonomies, and arranging this information in a knowledge graph for machine reasoning-are perfect for addressing them.

This combination "is the best way to get to the level of precision that you need when you move from a very shallow understanding of any type of concepts or content to something that is more deeper," Varone commented.
