Abstract: In this paper, we investigate MiniMax Entropy models, a class of neural symbolic models where symbolic and subsymbolic features are seamlessly integrated. We show how these models recover classical algorithms from both the deep learning and statistical relational learning scenarios. Novel hybrid settings are defined and experimentally explored, showing state-of-the-art performance in collective classification, knowledge base completion and graph (molecular) data generation.
