Artificial Intelligence has developed through two main approaches: symbolic AI, which focuses on logical reasoning, and neural AI, which focuses on learning from data. While both approaches are powerful, each has its own limitations. This study proposes a unified theoretical framework that combines symbolic reasoning with neural learning, known as neuro-symbolic reasoning.
The research introduces a mathematical model that embeds logical expressions into continuous vector spaces and enables reasoning through differentiable operations. The framework ensures approximate soundness and completeness while maintaining computational feasibility. It also improves interpretability by incorporating logical constraints into neural systems.
Overall, this work provides a theoretical foundation for integrating learning and reasoning in AI and supports the development of more reliable and explainable intelligent systems.
