Foreword

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has witnessed remarkable advancements, with neural networks leading the charge in solving complex tasks. However, the quest for more robust, interpretable and efficient models has paved the way for Neuro-Symbolic AI, a paradigm that synergizes the strengths of neural networks and symbolic reasoning.

In this blog post, we’ll dive deep into a sophisticated Neuro-Symbolic AI model I created that integrates Hyperdimensional Computing (HDC) and Synthetic Gradient Estimators. We’ll dissect the underlying mathematics, break down the intricate code, explore potential use cases, highlight the benefits, and analyze the results to provide a comprehensive understanding of this cutting-edge model.

Introduction

Neuro-Symbolic AI models aim to combine the pattern recognition capabilities of neural networks with the logical reasoning prowess of symbolic systems. This integration fosters models that not only excel in tasks like image and speech recognition but also possess the ability to perform reasoning, interpret decisions, and generalize better from limited data.

The model we’ll explore leverages Hyperdimensional Computing for encoding symbols into…
