Exploring Symbolic AI

Review

Programming	AI Programming
strings	symbols, concept hierarchies
arrays, tuples	lists, facts, trees, graphs
key-value objects	frames, triples
dates	events, temporal relations
=, <, >	similarity, pattern matching
loops	recursion, search (breadth-first, depth-first, best-first, ...)
imperative code	functions, logical rules

CS 348: Intro to Artificial Intelligence -- covers many topics in classic AI, including reasoning, planning, and some machine learning
CS 344: Design of Problem Solvers -- symbolic reasoning, with a focus on truth maintenance methods for considering hypotheses
CS 371: Knowledge Representation and Reasoning -- takes many of the topics in 325 to the next level
CS 337: Intro to Natural Language Processing -- symbolic approaches to both deep language understanding and shallow practical processing

CS 338: Practicum in Intelligent Information Systems -- project-based exploration of natural language processing, with shallow NLP and a touch of creative semantics
CS 396, 496: Conversational Interfaces -- foundations of intelligence AI conversational systems (beyond chatbots)
CS 396, 496: Qualitative Reasoning Seminar -- non-programming AI-oriented cognitive science seminar on symbolic qualitative reasoning about physical systems
CS 396, 496: AI Perspectives: Symbolic Reasoning to Deep Learning -- a new special topics course, contrasting symbolic and ML AI

Paradigms of Artificial Intelligence Programming: Case Studies in Common Lisp -- worth every penny when you had to buy it, now available for free from the author
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach 4th Edition -- expensive but very broad and deep coverage of many AI ideas; personally too logic-driven for me
Case-Based Reasoning -- reasoning with cases (examples) instead of logic

Symbolic AI: Crash Course AI #10 -- not a bad video to show non-CS friends the history and basic ideas in symbolic AI; you know enough now to see where it gets things wrong
CogX 2018 - Symbolic Methods Coming Back -- 10 minute quick talk comparing symbolic and neural networks with some OK handwaving on how to combine
Neuro-Symbolic Commonsense Intelligence -- 35-minute talk on integrating NN and symbolic AI in computer vision understanding by one of the best researchers in this area

AAAI conference on artificial intelligence -- the major AI conference
IJCAI -- a (formerly biennial) international conference that coordinates with national AI groups
