Neuro-Symbolic Learning for Relational Databases

Annotation in Czech

We are seeing tremendous successes of large neural networks, enabled primarily by efficient data-parallel processing of the underlying tensor representations on GPUs. However, despite the recent breakthroughs, these models are still fundamentally limited in many aspects considered elementary to AI systems. Particularly, in this proposal, we address the contemporary problem of deep learning with relational and symbolic representations that are omnipresent in the interlinked structures of real-world data yet do not succumb to the pre-canned, fixed-size tensor forms. To surpass this limitation, we propose a principled integration of deep learning with the highly expressive and interpretable formalism of relational logic, effectively introducing a complete neuro-symbolic learning framework for relational databases. Methodologically, we propose to build on a well-founded, symmetry-based approach where both parts of the neural-symbolic integration form a proper special case, enabling us to directly improve and generalize state-of-the-art models, such as Graph Neural Networks, and more.
