An agent-oriented mindset permeates the whole discussion, by stressing pivotal role of autonomous agents in exploiting both means to reach higher degrees of intelligence. Accordingly, the goals of this thesis are manifold. First, we elicit the analogies and differences among CLand DS, hence looking for possible synergies and complementarities along 4 major knowledge-related dimensions, namely representation, acquisition (a.k.a. learning), inference (a.k.a. reasoning), and explanation. In this regard, we propose a conceptual framework through which bridges these disciplines can be described and designed. We then survey the current state of the art of AI technologies, w.r.t. their capability to support bridging CL and DS in practice. After detecting lacksand opportunities, we propose the notion of logic ecosystem as the new conceptual, architectural, and technological solution supporting the incremental integration of symbolic and sub-symbolic AI. Finally, we discuss how our notion of logic ecosystem can be reified into actual software technology and extended towards many DS-related directions.  \nKeywords: Computational Logic · Data Science · XAI · Logic Ecosystem · 2P-Kt  \nOdi et amo.

Hence, this section is my way of expressing my gratitude and esteem for the many mentors, colleagues, and friends I had the pleasure to work with in the last five years.  \nFirstly, I’d wish to thank my supervisor and mentor, prof. Andrea Omicini, for the many years under his guide, and the many enlightening pieces of wisdom, and suggestions about the research, the academic career, and everyday life—other than, of course, the infinitely many ponsense nuns 1 . He showed to me how to become a fierce and autonomous researcher, as well as the importance of conceiving science as a community effort, and he gave me a lot of opportunities along the way. Of all such things, I’m sincerely grateful. Should I start another PhD (so to speak), I would choose his supervision once again.  \nConcerning mentorship, I honestly owe my gratitude to prof. Mirko Viroli as well, for trusting me and letting me join the academic world back in 2017 . Revenge shall be sought, but up to then I’d wish to thank him for the many opportunities he gave me along the years, and for the many discussions and lunches we have shared. For similar reasons, and for being a continuous source of inspiration, I’d wish to thank professors Alessandro Ricci, and Enrico Denti.  \nConcerning inspiration, as special mention is due to a few post-doc colleagues who have had quite an impact in shaping what my idea of “a good researcher”actually is. Accordingly, I’d with to thank dr. Danilo Pianini for being such an example of dedication to scientific and technical knowledge, dr. Stefano Mariani for helping me with my first steps in research and dr. Roberta Calegari for always supporting me since then. Finally, I’d wish to thank dr. Davide Calvaresi, for being such a great friend and co-author, as well as dr.
