1st International Workshop on Advanced Neuro-Symbolic Applications
Bologna, Italy, 25/10/2025–26/10/2025
The ANSyA workshop aims to advance the practical dimensions of neuro-symbolic AI.
It seeks to bridge the gap between theoretical advancements and industry adoption, showcasing research that addresses real-world problems and delivers actionable solutions.
ANSyA provides a platform for applied neuro-symbolic systems engineering, fostering collaborations between academia and industry, and encouraging innovative thinking.
The workshop aspires to revitalize the applied dimension of neuro-symbolic AI, making it a mainstream paradigm for solving data-driven problems across diverse domains.
topics of interest
ANSyA focuses on the practical application of NeSy into any possible field.
Leveraging on the seminal work by Sarker et al., we consider as NeSy any system falling into one (or more) of the following categories:
- neural-based processing systems where input and output are presented in a symbolic form;
- neural-based processing systems that compile symbolic rules during training;
- systems such as Neuro-Symbolic Concept-Learner representing a cascading from neural systems to symbolic reasoners;
- systems such as AlphaGo and AlphaZero where neural pattern recognition subroutines are used within a symbolic problem solver;
- bidirectional framework in which neural and symbolic components communicate, such as DeepProblog and NeurASP;
- systems that embed symbolic reasoning inside a neural engine.
