Dear Editor-in-Chief, Please find attached the revised version of our manuscript entitled “Neuro-Symbolic Architectures: Formalizing, Extending, Evaluating, and Empowering Generative AI”, which we submit for consideration as an Article in the Special Issue “NeSy 2025”. In this revised version, we carefully addressed the reviewers’ comments by clarifying the status of the proposed fibring architecture, making the discussion of generative AI mappings more explicitly conditional and literature-grounded, and strengthening the presentation of the evaluation framework as a qualitative comparison rather than a definitive empirical ranking. All corresponding changes are highlighted in the revised manuscript, and a detailed response to the reviewers is provided. All authors have approved the manuscript and agree with its submission to the journal. We also confirm that there are no conflicts of interest to declare. Thank you for your consideration. Sincerely, Oualid Bougzime on behalf of all authors
