Symbolic Vs Sub-symbolic AI Methods: Friends or Enemies?

by Eleni Ilkou and Maria Koutraki

Proceedings of the CIKM 2020 Workshops, October 19-20, Galway,Ireland

There is a long and unresolved debate between the symbolic and sub-symbolic methods. However, in recent years, there is a push towards in-between methods. In this work, we provide a comprehensive overview of the symbolic, sub-symbolic and in-between approaches focused in the domain of knowledge graphs, namely, schema representation, schema matching, knowledge graph completion, link prediction, entity resolution, entity classification and triple classification. We critically present key characteristics, advantages and disadvantages of the main algorithms in each domain, and review the use of these methods in knowledge graph related applications.
