Hybrid Intelligence Systems Combining Symbolic AI with Deep Learning

Hybrid intelligence systems that combine symbolic AI with deep learning are essential for advancing AI capabilities. These systems integrate explicit models and rules from symbolic AI with deep learning modules for perception tasks, like in self-driving cars where symbolic rule-based models work alongside deep learning modules for perception. This combination allows for efficient data processing and abstract problem-solving.
