The recent survey on Neurosymbolic Programming is a great introduction to the field: https://twitter.com/swarat/status/1474105098401943555 (pardon the Twitter link). I don't think the full version is publicly available, but I suspect you might be able to get access to it if you DM someone involved.

Other than that, here are some names of people working in this field that you might be able to find representative work from:

- Mayur Naik, UPenn (whose group I think were behind Scallop?) - Swarat Chaudhuri (and maybe also Isil Dillig), UT Austin - Luc de Raedt, KU Leuven (whose earlier work on Statistical Relational AI is very similar to the Scallop style of neurosymbolic work - I think there's a good textbook available on this) - Guy van den Broeck, UCLA - Armando Solar-Lezama, MIT

If you're more interested in the logic side of things then maybe some of MIRI's (https://intelligence.org/) older work may be of interest.

There's also a lot of people who are interested in neuro-symbolic stuff in the wider sense. You can find out more here: http://www.neurosymbolic.org/index.html. If you sign up for the mailing list, there are monthly (or bi-monthly? I can't remember) talks that are open to the public. You can even find recordings of past talks on Armando Solar-Lezama's youtube channel.

Hope this helps!

Awesome, thanks!

I think I found a full preprint on the authors site (pdf) https://www.cs.utexas.edu/~swarat/pubs/PGL-049-Plain.pdf
