Neurosymbolic AI and its Taxonomy: a survey

As Artificial Intelligence, and Deep Learning in particular, reach impressive results, it gains also unprecedented popularity not only in academics and industry but also in popular culture and society in general. This increasingly ubiquitous AI presence has arisen several concerns about its impacts on humanity and the planet, with some well-known scientists like Stephen Hawking having spoken concerns about AI's accountability [1]. Despite achieving outstanding results in Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing and Game Playing [2, 3], tasks in which AIs formerly have poor performance compared to humans, those concerns about AI triggered debates among research communities, including those discussed by Gary Marcus [4] and on AAAI-2020 debate with Geoffrey Hinton, Yoshua Bengio and Yann LeCun [5].
