A Case for Symbolic/Sub-symbolic Hybrids

Abstract

This paper considers the question of what qualities are necessary for an AI system to be a hybrid of symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches. Definitions of symbolic and sub-symbolic systems are given. SCALIR, a hybrid system for information retrieval, is presented, and then used to show how both symbolic and sub-symbolic processing can be combined. Arguments against SCALIR's hybrid nature are presented and rejected.
