Lokender Shastri, Connectionist Approach to Knowledge Representation

One of the underlying motives behind this CG is to assert the benefits -
and the necessity - to use KR in ML based AI, since this has been
overlooked elsewhere. I hope we can boil it all down do a specification
soon.
There has been a lot of confusion in the ML drive AI hype of recent years
that led to KR being set aside
Coming from a KBS driven AI background, I felt a call
There is a wealth of excellent OLD literature which is very current today,
and helps us to disentangle the confusion and make the case for AI KR

He also remind us that semantic networks (a type of KR)
The web is a semantic network, at least, it was conceived as such
are essentially. a connectionist model
