Background

Although some systems integrate logic into loss functions or constraints to improve trustworthiness, the authors note that producing detailed, step-level explanations for multi-step inference remains an open problem.

Open research questions remain in Neuro-Symbolic AI, including how to develop incremental learning that allows symbolic systems to evolve with new experiences, create context-aware inference mechanisms that adjust reasoning based on situational cues, achieve fine-grained explainability for complex inference chains, and explore meta-cognitive abilities enabling systems to monitor, evaluate, and optimize their learning processes in dynamic environments.
