Neuro-symbolic learning over OWL 2 DL via consequence-based compilation to differentiable circuits

Baobab compiles an OWL 2 DL (ΣROIQ) ontology with a finite ABox into a Sentential Decision Diagram (SDD), saturating a propositional core and instantiating remaining DL features over the active domain. The resulting evidence‑conditioned weighted model count trains a perception network to recognize real images under partial ABox supervision, enabling a CNN to recover latent ontology concepts that an independent perception would miss. When supervision allows multiple ontology‑consistent completions, Baobab’s mixture indexed by query justifications represents the calibrated posterior, achieving Bayes‑optimal performance on a real‑image MNIST task where single‑WMC and learned mixtures fail, thereby characterizing and mitigating reasoning shortcuts in a non‑Horn description logic.

Neuro-Symbolic Drive: Rule-Grounded Faithful Reasoning for Driving VLAs

arXiv:2606. 23938v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driving VLA models incorporating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning are attractive because they leverage pretrained VLM representations and expose intermediate decisions in natural language, yet current rationales often lack the step-by-step decision semantics needed to keep the rationale causally connected to the planned motion.

Bringing AI to Autonomous Systems -- From Cognition to Collective Intelligence

The article discusses autonomous systems as the pinnacle of AI development, emphasizing the need to blend connectionist and symbolic AI within systems engineering. It introduces a generic agent architecture that organizes behavior around long‑term memory and outlines challenges in linking sensory data to structured memory, goal‑oriented decision making, planning, and agent coordination for collective intelligence. The authors also explore agent trustworthiness, noting it extends beyond behavior to include cognitive validity, and propose methods for its evaluation while highlighting the gap between current capabilities and the envisioned autonomous multi‑agent systems.
