What to expect
Graph-based structures are highly relevant to all the essential properties of BILAI’s vision of broad and more robust AI. Graph-based structures are inherently symbolic and often equipped with sub-symbolic attributes such as costs or interaction strength. They are omnipresent when solving complex tasks, and can appear as navigation maps, as social or physical interaction networks, or as object relations. Graphs are ideal to transfer knowledge: their nodes and edges represent learned or known abstractions of real-world entities in so-called Knowledge Graphs (cf. for instance, http://kgbook.org); their structure is typically very robust; they can be readily adapted to new situations or even constructed on the fly; they allow for advanced reasoning; and they allow employing efficient algorithms from computer science. Because of the inherent symbolic nature and their suitability for learning and sub-symbolic elements, they naturally constitute a promising starting point as a core component for a bilateral AI approach.
