Knowledge-Infused Learning

'Professor Amit Sheth is a leading expert in knowledge-infused learning. The topics covered by this book are important to advance state-of-the-art AI. As our understanding of generative AI deepens, we ask what the next frontiers of AI are. This timely book offers a refreshing answer that explores AI research beyond large language models.' Huan Liu, Arizona State University
'This timely and insightful book by Manas Gaur and Amit Sheth combines data-driven AI with structured human knowledge, creating a practical pathway toward transparent and safe AI. Addressing critical gaps in AI's explainability and interpretability, especially in healthcare and crisis management, the authors introduce 'Knowledge-infused Learning'-an essential approach for human-centric AI. Their innovative frameworks, like CREST, are thoughtfully designed for real-world impact. For anyone deeply engaged in multimodal AI, digital health, or responsible technology use, this book is a must-read guide, offering robust technical foundations and thoughtful ethical considerations crucial for equitable AI solutions.' Ramesh Jain, University of California, Irvine
'Knowledge-Infused Learning is a timely and essential guide to building AI systems that are not only powerful, but also interpretable and trustworthy. Gaur and Sheth brilliantly show how integrating human knowledge with machine learning leads to more explainable, safer, and more responsible AI. A must-read for anyone shaping the future of intelligent systems.' Craig Knoblock, Information Sciences Institute, University of Southern California
'My 1997 book, Intelligent Systems for Engineering: A Knowledge-Based Approach, briefly discussed the need to integrate neural networks with knowledge-based reasoning. It is gratifying to see Manas carry this vision forward. His formulation of knowledge-infused learning resonates strongly with what DARPA later termed the 'third wave' of AI systems capable of contextual adaptation, reasoning, and explainability. I believe that knowledge-infused learning serves as the operational process for achieving neuro-symbolic integration, effectively catalyzing the transition into the third AI wave. In an era dominated by opaque models, this work is a timely reminder that grounding and trust remain central. I believe it will inspire students and researchers to build AI systems that are not only powerful but also truly understandable and socially responsible.' Ram Sriram, NIST
