The symbol grounding problem is a concept in cognitive science, philosophy of mind, and artificial intelligence that addresses the challenge of how abstract symbols (such as words or mathematical notations) acquire meaning. The problem arises from the need to connect these symbols—essentially arbitrary representations—with the real-world objects, concepts, or experiences they represent.
