IdeaNet

IdeaNet is a personal project to improve the teammatching process. It’s a site where people can search for others with simialr ideas for class projects or projects for specific events. After running a a few customer interviews and pilot cases, it became appearent that teammatching requires more communication that is not addressed by the site. As such it was pivoted to aid in mentorship matching where similar interests are also key.

Characterizing Neuro-Symbolic Reasoning in NLP

Published in SUKI: Structured and Unstructured Knowledge Integration, Workshop at NAACL 2022, 2022

Neuro-symbolic reasoning has recently seen a revival as a promising way to bridge the gap between deep learning models that manipulate continuous spaces and the symbolic representations. Despite its promise, the term “neurosymbolic” remains nebulous and is used in various contexts, from systems that rely on having a rule-based sub-component to systems trained end-to-end using techniques like reinforcement learning. In this work, we conduct a survey of its various interpretations amongst researchers in the natural language processing (NLP) community along with a survey of prior work that focuses on neuro-symbolic methods.
