Background

The review synthesizes work on integrating symbolic reasoning with neural learning and planning. The authors explicitly state that supporting continuous evolution of symbolic knowledge through incremental learning in neuro-symbolic systems remains unresolved.

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.
