Cover Letter:
RESUBMIT of 933-1956
Dear Prof. Hitzler, dear reviewers,
Please find the revised manuscript "A survey of neurosymbolic artificial intelligence: foundations, advances, and future trajectories" for resubmission to Neurosymbolic Artificial Intelligence as a Survey submission. A separate response document (uploaded as a Supplementary File) contains one personalized reply per reviewer comment. A latexdiff-generated changes PDF is bundled alongside the response in the same Supplementary Files upload.
The revision was driven by three input streams: (i) the three reviewer letters; (ii) a focused internal review of the staging draft (Otto Mättas, Priit Järv, Tanel Tammet); (iii) three independent reading passes (editor-level / newcomer / system deployer) against the staging draft.
Headline structural changes (all marked in blue in the manuscript and in nesyai2026-article-changes.pdf):
1. Navigation;
2. Framework defensibility;
3. Content expansion;
4. Tables;
5. Methods transparency;
6. Discussion and Conclusion;
7. Running example;
8. Bibliography hygiene.
The current revised manuscript is 84 pages; the response document is 16 pages with 61 personalized replies; the changes PDF is 98 pages and highlights every revised passage. This manuscript remains original, has been approved by all authors, and is not under consideration for publication elsewhere. We would like to thank the editor and the reviewers again for the depth and quality of their feedback; the survey is substantially more usable as a result.
Sincerely,
Otto Mättas, Priit Järv, Tanel Tammet
