Symbolic Reasoning meets LLMs

Jaxon's balancing logic from symbolic reasoning with the "creativity" of Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT-4, and using LLMs to assist in creating syntax for the logic. This concept merges two different aspects of artificial intelligence:

1. Symbolic Reasoning: This represents the traditional form of AI, where logic and structured rules are paramount. It involves using predefined symbols and rules to process data and make decisions. Symbolic reasoning is excellent for tasks that have clear, well-defined rules and logic, such as mathematics or formal logic problems.
2. Large Language Models (LLMs): LLMs like GPT-4 are based on neural networks and excel in generating human-like text, understanding context, and exhibiting a form of "creativity". They are not strictly rule-based and can generate novel content based on patterns learned from large datasets.

Combining these two approaches can yield several benefits:

• Enhanced Problem Solving: Symbolic reasoning can provide a structured approach to problem-solving, ensuring that the outcomes are logical and consistent. Meanwhile, LLMs can handle aspects where human-like intuition, context understanding, or creative thinking is required.
• Improved Communication: LLMs can help translate the often complex and technical results of symbolic reasoning into more understandable, human-like language, making the information more accessible to non-expert users.
• Error Checking and Syntax Creation: LLMs can assist in creating the syntax for logic expressions, potentially spotting and correcting errors in logic statements or suggesting more efficient or accurate formulations.
• Versatility and Adaptability: This combination allows for handling a wide range of tasks, from highly structured logical problems to more open-ended, creative tasks.

Challenges to consider:

• Integration Complexity: Merging symbolic reasoning with LLM outputs in a seamless and effective manner can be technically challenging.
• Quality Control: Ensuring that the creativity of LLMs does not introduce inaccuracies or illogical elements when combined with symbolic reasoning. This is where Jaxon's DSAIL comes in.
• Contextual Understanding: LLMs, despite their advanced capabilities, sometimes struggle with understanding context as accurately as a human, especially in complex scenarios.

Overall, this approach represents a promising direction in AI, leveraging the strengths of both symbolic and neural network-based systems. It will lead to more powerful, versatile, and user-friendly AI applications.
