I was very excited to see this book come out and I picked it up as quickly as I could. There are very few books about neuro-symbolic AI and I was hoping that this could be a leader in the field that brings a new wave of AI developers and applications. After reading it, I'm a little less certain.This book is aimed at "data scientists, ML engineers, and AI enthusiasts who are looking to expandtheir knowledge of neuro-symbolic AI and stay up to date with the latest advancements in the field." It then spends the first hundred pages, the first half of the book, talking about the history of AI and where neuro-symbolic AI fits in. Yes, it's needed, but is it worth spending just over half the book on it?This is where it starts to get more interesting, though it starts reading a bit like a research paper. There is definitely a difference between the first and second halves of the book. It looks at a single paradigm for neuro-symbolic AI instead of comparing and contrasting a few different prominent models.Chapter 8 gets to the only hands-on portion using Python and Pytorch. You will want a decent knowledge of both to work through the examples and understand them. A general knowledge of programming and machine learning might be enough as well.After this chapter, the book dives into a lot of speculation. There is some welcome information on non-mainstream research that may or may not yield useful results. It also goes into the singularity, a very hypothetical event where AI blows past our capabilities and something either very good or very bad happens. The book lists some fiction and non-fiction books as well as movies, TV series, and video games that talk about the singularity. Then it gives a "balanced" discussion about whether the singularity is good or bad, instead of if it could even occur. This was a very odd section.Overall, this book does add to the discussion on neuro-symbolic AI, but in a haphazard way. I would give it 3.5 stars, but rounded it up hoping it will lead to other books on the subject coming out. If you're interested in this topic, it might be worth a read. If you know the basics, you'll probably have to go to research papers to learn more.

An approachable intro to Neuro-Symbolic AI. However, it includes excessive information not directly related to neuro-symbolic AI. If you are a newcomer to the field and/or want a refresher on AI, its history, and a slow and gradual build-up to neuro-symbolic AI, this is a great start. If you directly want to jump into neuro-symbolic, prepare to skip 1/2 of the book.Personally enjoyed the book, but wished the material had more mathematical rigor.

If you are buying this book, you should be aware that it is very much academic and conceptual, and spends a lot of time discussing history, background context and what has led to NSAI. It does touch on two implementations in 15 pages at the back of the book, one using Logic Tensor Networks and one using Decision Trees.I would have rated the book 4 stars based on the content, but it (my copy anyway) is also let down by the print quality. A good proportion (maybe 50%) of the diagrams have been printed in a way that when they have laid down the colours they don't align which creates a lot of blurring. It's not bad enough that I am going to send it back, but enough that it makes me feel slightly seasick when I'm looking at those diagrams. I expect better from a quality publisher like packt.In summary, if you want a broad overview to give you context in this emerging area this is good. If you want deeper implementation level detail or "how to" then look elsewhere.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

What is Early Access? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.
