This book introduces a computationally feasible, cognitively inspired formal model of concept invention, drawing on Fauconnier and Turner's theory of conceptual blending, a fundamental cognitive operation. The chapters present the mathematical and computational foundations of concept invention, discuss cognitive and social aspects, and further describe concrete implementations and applications in the fields of musical and mathematical creativity. Featuring contributions from leading researchers in formal systems, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, computational creativity, mathematical reasoning and cognitive musicology, the book will appeal to readers interested in how conceptual blending can be precisely characterized and implemented for the development of creative computational systems.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 18th International Conference on Neural-Symbolic Learning and Reasoning, NeSy 2024, held in Barcelona, Spain during September 9-12th, 2024.The 30 full papers and 18 short papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 89 submissions, which presented the latest and ongoing research work on neurosymbolic AI. Neurosymbolic AI aims to build rich computational models and systems by combining neural and symbolic learning and reasoning paradigms. This combination hopes to form synergies among their strengths while overcoming theircomplementary weaknesses.
