Abstract
The thesis describes an analysis on the application of a novel paradigm in computer vision named Logic Tensor Network (LTN), a branch of Neuro-Symbolic AI, that aims to combine the strengths of symbolic reasoning, provided by First Order Logic (FOL), and Neural Networks (NN). The strategy adopted is based on a patch-level deep learning framework capable of identifying the most common mammographic signs of lesions: microcalcifications and masses, by analyzing patches extracted from the four standard views used in screening mammography: R-CC (Right Craniocaudal), L-CC (Left Craniocaudal), R-MLO (Right Mediolateral Oblique) and L- MLO (Left Mediolateral Oblique). The goal is to predict the status of each individual patch in one of three possible outcomes: Normal - no cancer; Benign - a benign finding; Malignant - dangerous cancer.
By combining logical reasoning with neural network learning capabilities, the proposed approach aims not only to improve the accuracy of breast cancer screening, but also to enhance the interpretability, reliability, and generalization of image analysis models
