Now, @guyvdb.bsky.social is giving the opening keynote arguing why symbolic AI is still relevant in the age of LLMs...

How can reverend Bayes help us to incorporate constraints?
With NeSy of course 👀 With applications in non-toxic LLM generation and safe AI driving!

Did you know Neurosymbolic methods can beat 'the other's turf'?
Just use a 100x smaller LM with symbolic constraints integrated via Ctrl-G to wipe the floor with GPT!🧹

Grants, awards, fellowships, etc. should really be upfront about their acceptance rate. Some of them are just abundantly not worth the effort

Wish LM could plan—not just guess the next word?
TRACE lets LM see all endings before each move.
– Global control at inference time
– Tractable lookahead via an HMM LM-proxy
– Linear classifier per constraint
Outperform RL, DPO, FUDGE—at just +20% decoding over base LM.
