SUMMARY:CIS Seminar: "Learning\, Reasoning\, and Planning with Neuro-Symbolic Concepts"
DESCRIPTION:I aim to build complete intelligent agents that can continually learn\, reason\, and plan: answer queries\, infer human intentions\, and make long-horizon plans spanning hours to days. In this talk\, I will describe a general learning and reasoning framework based on neuro-symbolic concepts. Drawing inspiration from theories and studies in cognitive science\, neuro-symbolic concepts serve as compositional abstractions of the physical world\, representing object properties\, relations\, and actions. These concepts can be combinatorially reused in flexible and novel ways. Technically\, each neuro-symbolic concept is represented as a combination of symbolic programs\, which define how concepts can be structurally combined (similar to the ways that words form sentences in human language)\, and modular neural networks\, which ground concept names in sensory inputs and agent actions. I show that systems that leverage neuro-symbolic concepts demonstrate superior data efficiency\, enable agents to reason and plan more quickly\, and achieve strong generalization in novel situations and for novel goals. This is illustrated in visual reasoning in 2D\, 3D\, motion\, and video data\, as well as in diverse decision-making tasks spanning virtual agents and real-world robotic manipulation.
