📣 PhD opening – Fall 2026

The DUCK Lab @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social is looking for a PhD student to join us!

Why 🦆? We work on foundational aspects of #neurosymbolicAI and #SafeAI.
👉 DUCK = Data, Uncertainty, Constraints & Knowledge

📩 Apply by emailing: e.giunchiglia@imperial.ac.uk

I will presenting this work at #EurIPS tomorrow!

📍Come to poster #30!

In the paper, we also show that with just 1 labelled datapoint per concept, our prototypical NeSy model achieves the same number of symbolic optima as full dense supervision.

👉 Prototypes cut annotation cost without losing expressivity.

With just 2 labeled points, we can anchor each class to a single prototype—so the embedding updates reflect both similarity to the few labels and constraint satisfaction.

This helps in making the NeSy models #robust wrt the number of unsupervised datapoints!

Want to use your favourite #NeSy model but afraid of the reasoning shortcuts?🫣

Fear not💪🏻In our #NeurIPS2025 paper we show that you just need to equip your favourite NeSy model with prototypical networks and the reasoning shortcuts will be a problem of the past!

If you made it this far, you're probably really into constraint-aware models 😄

Don’t miss the new paper by @nolovedeeplearning.bsky.social et al!
👉https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.19466

It proposes a probabilistic layer ensuring satisfaction of algebraic constraints over continuous variables—cool stuff!
