Biography

The integration of symbolic knowledge representation and learning has the potential to improve traditional deep learning models adding capabilities in terms of inference, reasoning, and representation of high-level concepts. The present research proposal concerns techniques that incorporate deep learning and statistical relational learning (neuro-symbolic models) for the interpretation of multi-dimensional data, such as images.

By allowing the incorporation of prior knowledge in the training process, neuro-symbolic applications can enhance multiple image analysis tasks in various real-life scenarios. The additional possibility to represent the model uncertainty is particularly relevant when coping with limited training data.

Starting from different computer vision tasks like image classification, the research aims at comparing the neural-symbolic architectures with traditional convolutional neural network in terms of accuracy, generalizability, and interpretability.
