There is a broad consensus that both learning and reasoning are essential to achieve true artificial intelligence. This has put the quest for neural-symbolic artificial intelligence (NeSy) high on the research agenda. In the past decade, neural networks have caused great advances in the field of machine learning. Conversely, the two most prominent frameworks for reasoning are logic and probability. While in the past they were studied by separate communities, a significant number of researchers has been working towards their integration, cf. the area of statistical relational artificial intelligence (StarAI). Generally, NeSy systems integrate logic with neural networks. However, probability theory has already been integrated with both logic (cf. StarAI) and neural networks. It therefore makes sense to consider the integration of logic, neural networks and probabilities. In this chapter, we first consider these three base paradigms separately. Then, we look at the well established integrations, NeSy and StarAI. Next, we consider the integration of all three paradigms as Neural Probabilistic Logic Programming, and exemplify it with the DeepProbLog framework. Finally, we discuss the limitations of the state of the art, and consider future directions based on the parallels between StarAI and NeSy.
