DeepRAP: Deep Reasoning, Abstraction & Planning towards trustworthy Cognitive AI Systems

Call UE del programma Horizon Europe (HORIZON), bando "EIC Pathfinder Challenges 2026" (HORIZON-EIC-2026-PATHFINDERCHALLENGES-01). Tipo di azione: HORIZON EIC Grants. Stato: aperta. Prossima scadenza: 28/10/2026 (single-stage). Testo ufficiale (in inglese): Scope: Artificial Intelligence (AI) systems have achieved remarkable progress as evidenced by the ability of Generative AI to recognise patterns and generate contextually relevant outputs based on ever larger models and associated datasets. However, despite the remarkable strides made over the past decade, there remains a significant gap between the capabilities of the human brain and machine intelligence, which must be overcome to achieve robust performance and enable effective interactions with users and stakeholders. Current Generative AI models can release very accurate outputs and even solve some mathematical problems but might struggle with some complex reasoning benchmarks and to understand the real world. These models frequently fail to reliably solve logic tasks and long-term planning, even when provably correct solutions exist, limiting their effectiveness in critical applications where precision is essential. Inspired by the human brain’s ability to process information at multiple levels of abstraction—enabling perception, reasoning, and goal-directed planning—the goal of this Challenge is to move beyond the current state-of-the-art in traditional AI approaches, whether symbolic (e.g., rules, decision trees,…
