Symbolic programs are transparent but limited to what their grammar can express. Earlier neural-symbolic hybrids needed custom languages, task-specific modules and large training sets.

Most of the evidence, however, is correlational and comes from finished models and whole corpora. Nadkarni and colleagues test this causally. Their recipe needs a model with intermediate checkpoints, optimizer states… ## Co-authors here 12 of 13 co-authors with a page, the most papers together first. - [Noah A.
