Daxin and I have our AAMAS submission accepted for publication!

We show an epistemic logic with meta-reasoning can be fully realized using the semiring-based extension to model counting. We then further extend this to handle probabilities and actions too!

Muy interesante!

@vaishakbelle.bsky.social ha dado un buen repaso a los problemas actuales de la IA –alucinaciones, necesidad de grandes volúmenes de datos, uso de recursos– y cómo la combinación con la IA simbólica (la llamada IA neurosimbólica) puede resolverlos (o al menos mejorar la situación).

Very excited to report that Gary Marcus and I have a new position paper at the AAAI-2026 in the "Emerging Trends in AI" track.

We make a case for neuro-symbolic AI, survey the field briefly, and point to various case studies that seem to also imply the need and growth of this paradigm.

It was a pleasure to host Moshe Vardi on our virtual Turing neurosymbolic AI seminar.

He debated the data driven vs model driven paradigm and used model counting as evidence of discrete reasoning for quantitative specs.

Video coming up soon.
