UMBC Assistant Professor Manas Gaur and University of South Carolina professor Amit Sheth have published a new book on Knowledge-Infused Learning. The technique was the topic of Dr. Gaur's dissertation and addresses the opacity of current "black-box" AI models by combining data-driven machine learning techniques with the structured insights of symbolic AI. The book introduces the techniques of neurosymbolic AI, which blends statistical models with symbolic knowledge to make AI safer and user-explainable. Dr. Gaur will teach a combined undergraduate and graduate special topics class on Neurosymbolic AI and Knowledge-infused Learning in UMBC's Fall 2026 semester (MoWe 2:30-3:45).
