Welcome to MReaL! (Machine Reasoning and Learning, pronounced Me Real). Current AI is substantially different from human intelligence in crucial ways because our mind is bicameral: the right brain hemisphere is for perception, which is similar to existing deep learning systems; the left hemisphere is for logic reasoning; and the two of them work so differently and collaboratively that yield creative intelligence. To this end, at MReaL, we are seeking in-principle reasoning algorithms that take the complementary advantages of the modern deep neural networks for learning representations and the old-school symbolic operations for reasoning.
