Probabilistic models. Recent research often focuses on Bayesian models.
Probabilistic models have never really gone away. This presentation by LeCun actually suggests embedding neural networks inside of various types of probabilistic models: factor graphs and conditional random fields. This is, for example, how speech recognition works: the output of a neural network is fed into a probabilistic model (a hidden Markov model).
