My approach is inspired by CMU’s long standing work on ACT-R as one of the most well known cognitive architectures, so you could start by looking at that, see: 

 http://act-r.psy.cmu.edu/about/

How would you expect to include that?

In respect to combining deep learning with symbolic processing, one reference is:

I am considering arranging a W3C Workshop next year on standardisation opportunities for conversational agents, with the idea of making it easier for organisations to embed text or voice based conversational agents within web pages. AIML is one example of a markup language for conversations. Amazon and Google have demonstrated the potential for intent based conversations for their respective smart speaker ecosystems. They all use simplistic approaches as a way to avoid handling meaning in a rich and general way.
