提出RAIL框架,统一看待神经符号AI的四大核心设计原则。

The RAIL Principles for Neurosymbolic AI: Reasoning, Assurances, Interfacing and Learning

  • 从推理、保证、接口、学习四方面构建神经符号AI统一设计框架。
  • 可分析物理感知学习、阿尔法系列搜索、因果学习等主流AI系统。
  • 为可信、高效AI系统设计提供可落地的决策指南,适合工程实践者。

融合机器学习与符号推理的神经符号AI正迅速获得关注。它通过符号推理算法弥补神经网络和语言模型对数据的高依赖性,在高风险场景或低数据环境下表现更优。我们认为,神经符号结合不仅是AI中的小众方法,而是已包含诸多成功技术,对构建可靠、高效且可信的系统至关重要。这一视角促使我们重新审视当前AI系统的设计。本文表明,许多领先AI系统(即使不传统归类为神经符号)均可从四个神经符号设计原则——推理、保证、接口、学习(RAIL)进行分析。该框架统一了看似无关的AI系统,涵盖从物理感知学习到神经引导搜索(如谷歌深度思维的Alpha-*系列)、因果学习及工具增强的大语言模型。更重要的是,RAIL原则将帮助工程师在生产级系统设计与部署中做出更明智、更系统的决策。本文介绍RAIL原则,探讨其在各主要AI领域的应用,并展示如何指导从业者将神经符号方法融入下一代AI技术。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Neurosymbolic AI systems that integrate machine learning and symbolic reasoning are rapidly gaining attention. They complement the data-intensive statistical approaches of neural networks and language models with symbolic reasoning algorithms to function in high-stakes domains or in low-data regimes that characterize many real-world applications. We argue that the neurosymbolic combination of machine learning and formal reasoning is not a niche approach within AI, but rather includes many already successful techniques that are of crucial importance to the development of reliable, efficient and, ultimately, trustworthy systems. This perspective prompts a re-examination of the design of current AI systems. We show that many leading AI systems, including some that are not traditionally considered as neurosymbolic, can be analysed from the perspective of four principles of neurosymbolic AI design: Reasoning, Assurances, Interfacing and Learning (RAIL). Applying the RAIL framework offers a unified view of seemingly disparate AI systems, ranging from physics-aware machine learning to neuro-guided search (such as Google DeepMind's Alpha-* suite), causal learning and tool-augmented Large Language Models. Importantly, the RAIL principles will enable engineers to make better-informed and more principled decisions about the design and deployment of production-level AI systems. In this article, we introduce the RAIL principles, examine how they can be applied across major areas of AI, and illustrate how they may guide practitioners to integrate neurosymbolic methods into next-generation AI technologies.
