Symbolic Ai
A paradigm in artificial intelligence research that relies on high-level symbolic representations of problems, logic, and search to solve complex tasks.
Areas of application
- knowledge-based systems
- expert systems
- symbolic mathematics
- automated theorem provers
- automated planning and scheduling systems
Example
Developing an expert system for medical diagnosis using symbolic AI could involve representing medical knowledge in a logical form, using rules and inference to reason about patient symptoms and arrive at a diagnosis.
