  1. Why #DeepNeuralNetworks need #Logic:

    Nick Shea (#UCL/#Oxford) suggests

    (1) Generating novel stuff (e.g., #Dalle's art, #GPT's writing) is cool, but slow and inconsistent.

    (2) Just a handful of logical inferences can be used *across* loads of situations (e.g., #modusPonens works the same way every time).

    So (3) by #learning Logic, #DNNs would be able to recycle a few logical moves on a MASSIVE number of problems (rather than generate a novel solution from scratch for each one).
