Hybrid AI blends symbolic AI—explicit rules, logic, and ontologies—with sub-symbolic methods such as neural networks and deep learning. Symbolic components offer transparency, explainability, and structured reasoning suited to tasks requiring clear logic. Sub-symbolic components learn complex patterns from large, unstructured datasets like images, speech, and text but often lack interpretability. Integrating both approaches produces systems that can interpret data-driven patterns and apply logical reasoning, enhancing robustness, flexibility, and interpretability. Hybrid AI supports applications requiring both learning and reasoning and aims to reduce black-box behavior while handling ambiguity for more human-like problem solving.
As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to evolve, so too does the complexity of the problems it aims to solve. While traditional AI approaches such as rule-based systems or machine learning have shown impressive results, they each come with their own limitations. Enter Hybrid AI-a powerful approach that combines the strengths of different AI techniques to create more robust, flexible, and intelligent systems.
Symbolic AI involves explicitly programmed rules, logic, and ontologies to represent knowledge. It is transparent, explainable, and ideal for tasks that require clear reasoning. Sub-symbolic AI, including neural networks and other machine learning models, learns patterns from large datasets without being explicitly programmed. It is ideal for handling unstructured data like images, speech, or text but lacks transparency. By integrating these two approaches, Hybrid AI aims to provide systems that can both understand complex patterns and reason about them, leading to more reliable and interpretable AI applications.
