This study focuses on the explainability of neuro-symbolic AI, a type of neural network that combines symbolic and connectionist AI. The authors analyze 191 studies from 2013 to understand the design and behavior factors affecting explainability in neuro-symbolic AI models. They propose a classification system with five categories based on whether the representation differences between neural networks and symbolic logic learning are implicit or explicit, as well as whether the model’s decision-making process is understandable. The authors also identify three significant challenges: unified representations, explainability and transparency, and sufficient cooperation from neural networks and symbolic learning. They suggest future research directions in enhancing model explainability, considering ethical implications, and exploring social impact.

This study looks at a special kind of artificial intelligence that combines two different approaches. The authors want to understand why this type of AI is not always clear about how it makes decisions. They analyzed 191 studies from 2013 to figure out what makes some neuro-symbolic AI models more transparent than others. The main finding is that there are five ways to make neuro-symbolic AI more explainable, depending on whether the model’s internal workings are clear or not. The authors also highlight three big challenges in this area: making sure all parts of the model work together, ensuring transparency and fairness, and thinking about the ethical implications of using these models.
