O3 and Grok 4 Accidentally Vindicated Neurosymbolic AI

https://garymarcus.substack.com/p/how-o3-and-grok-4-accidentally-vindicated

Gary Marcus is onto something in here. Maybe true AGI is not so impossible to reach after all. Just probably not in the near future but likely within 20 years.

"For all the efforts that OpenAI and other leaders of deep learning, such as Geoffrey Hinton and Yann LeCun, have put into running neurosymbolic AI, and me personally, down over the last decade, the cutting edge is finally, if quietly and without public acknowledgement, tilting towards neurosymbolic AI.

This essay explains what neurosymbolic AI is, why you should believe it, how deep learning advocates long fought against it, and how in 2025, OpenAI and xAI have accidentally vindicated it.

And it is about why, in 2025, neurosymbolic AI has emerged as the team to beat.

It is also an essay about sociology.

The essential premise of neurosymbolic AI is this: the two most common approaches to AI, neural networks and classical symbolic AI, have complementary strengths and weaknesses. Neural networks are good at learning but weak at generalization; symbolic systems are good at generalization, but not at learning."

Are you ready? Bertinoro castle is waiting for you! Tomorrow, the 2025 edition of the International Semantic Web Research Summer School is about to begin. We are waiting for 60 graduate students, all eager to become a researcher in the field.

Please post a hi if you are attending this year (or have attended in the past...)

https://2025.semanticwebschool.org/

Hashtag for this year's edition is #isws2025

Good Morning ESWC2025! The last conference day is about to start. Looking forward to an interesting keynote, more presentations and interesting discussions! Most interesting to see for me this year was the presence of neurosymbolic topics almost everywhere in our community.

ESWC 2025 has just started with the presentation of the submission numbers to the individual tracks:
research track: 98 papers
resource track: 36 papers
in-use track: 22 papers

Looking forward to great presentations and discussions!

Good Morning Portoroz! Day 02 of ESWC 2025 is going to start with many interesting Workshops! Hope to see you there! Let’s have a coffee

#ESWC2025 has officially started!
We're thrilled to begin an exciting journey into the world of Semantic Web research and innovation

Over the next few days, Portorož will be buzzing with cutting-edge ideas, inspiring talks, and vibrant discussions that push the boundaries of what’s possible in #SymbolicAI, #NeuroSymbolicAI, #LinkedData, and #KnowledgeGraphs.

Good Morning ESWC 2025! If you want to join me for a morning run during the conference week, don’t hesitate to address me when you see me around

Think your chatbot is reasoning like you?
Think again. Just 1.5% of its neurons are faking intelligence brilliantly.
LLMs don’t “think” — they pattern-match and guess smartly, until novelty breaks them.

Read how modern AI mimics reasoning and why true AGI needs more than just training data:

Big congrats to our dear colleague N'Dah Jean Kouagou, who successfully defended his PhD on May 9! The topic of his thesis is "Fast Neuro-Symbolic Approaches for Class Expression Learning." Your colleagues are celebrating with you – well done!

We are very happy that our colleage @GenAsefa has contributed the chapter on "Neurosymbolic Methods for Dynamic Knowledge Graphs" for the newly published Handbook on Neurosymbolic AI and Knowledge Graphs together with Mehwish Alam and Pierre-Henri Paris.

Handbook: https://ebooks.iospress.nl/doi/10.3233/FAIA400
our own chapter on arxive: https://arxiv.org/abs/2409.04572

Our 3rd keynoter will be Enrico Motta from the Knowledge Media Institute of UK’s Open University. He pioneered with hybrid computational architectures integrating #ML with knowledge representation, being applied in application domains as e.g. news & scholarly analytics, and cognitive robotics.

These last three weeks, I had the chance to be back at Università degli Studi di Bari as an invited researcher, to continue working with Claudia d'Amato on neuro-symbolic AI and knowledge graphs, after a first research visit in 2024.

I also delivered a seminar to the PhD school of Computer Science and Mathematics, entitled: "The Schema Strikes Back: Refining #KnowledgeGraphs with Neuro-Symbolic AI".

TGDK is launching a Special Issue for Use-Case articles. They are interested in submissions describing use-cases (applications, events, products, services, etc.) that put research on Graph Data & Knowledge into practice. If you work on such initiatives, consider telling the community about them by submitting to the Special Issue!
Deadline is March 31, 2025.
