Deep learning is the predominant machine learning paradigm in natural language processing (NLP). This approach not only gave huge performance improvements across a large variety of natural language processing tasks. However, large languages models struggle with rules, logic, reasoning and facts. Therefore this semesters seminar will focus on neuro-explicit models that is neural networks that also incorporate explicit knowledge like logic, math or laws of nature.
