Neural-Symbolic Integration

In this thesis, we discuss different techniques to bridge the gap between two different approaches to artificial intelligence: the symbolic and the connectionist paradigm. Both approaches have quite contrasting advantages and disadvantages. Research in the area of neural-symbolic integration aims at bridging the gap between them. Starting from a human readable logic program, we construct connectionist systems, which behave equivalently. Afterwards, those systems can be trained, and later the refined knowledge be extracted
