ANDRE: An Attention-based Neuro-symbolic Differentiable Rule Extractor for Inductive Logic Programming

arXiv:2605. 04193v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) aims to learn interpretable first-order rules from data, but existing symbolic and neuro-symbolic approaches struggle to scale to noisy and probabilistic settings.

FVRuleLearner: Operator-Level Reasoning Tree (Op-Tree)-Based Rules Learning for Formal Verification

arXiv:2604. 03245v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The remarkable reasoning and code generation capabilities of large language models (LLMs) have recently motivated increasing interest in automating formal verification (FV), a process that ensures hardware correctness through mathematically precise assertions but remains highly labor-intensive, particularly through the translation of natural language into SystemVerilog Assertions (NL-to-SVA).

Policy-as-logic for robust reasoning over rules

arXiv:2608. 11905v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many practical applications of generative AI systems, from tax rules to airline baggage allowance, responses to natural language queries must respect written policies or rules.

NeuroRule: Making Black-Box Neural Networks Explainable through Rule-set Evolution

NeuroRule is a knowledge distillation framework that transforms high‑capacity neural networks into explainable rule‑sets. It adapts the EVOTER rule‑set evolution infrastructure to evolve propositional logic expressions that capture the neural network’s performance. The approach includes a conciseness objective to enhance explainability and demonstrates viability even without access to the original training data.

Neuro-symbolic PRM: Enhancing Scientific Reasoning via Structured Traces and Symbolic Verification

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic framework for scientific reasoning that separates symbolic validity and semantic groundedness. A deterministic symbolic verifier acts as a hard filter to guarantee syntactic and arithmetic correctness, while a Process Reward Model (PRM) is trained on verifier‑accepted steps to assess contextual grounding. The authors propose Counterfactual Symbolic Perturbation (CSP) to generate hard negative examples that pass the verifier but are logically flawed, enabling efficient PRM training and a verifier‑first constrained search at inference.

Think-Verify-Revise: Neuro-Symbolic Visual Reasoning with Vision-Language Models and Dynamic Logic Tensor Networks

The paper introduces a Neuro‑Symbolic framework that integrates a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) for automatic induction of First‑Order Logic (FOL) rules with a Dynamic Logic Tensor Network (D‑LTN) for differentiable rule verification. In a closed iterative loop, the VLM proposes candidate rules (Think), the D‑LTN verifies them against visual embeddings (Verify), and failures guide the VLM to refine its hypotheses (Revise). Evaluated on the ViSudo‑PC benchmark across four visual domains, the system successfully induces Sudoku constraint rules from only three training examples and achieves AUC scores that match or surpass prior methods such as NeuPSL and LTN.

Policy-as-logic for robust reasoning over rules

In many practical applications of generative AI systems, from tax rules to airline baggage allowance, responses to natural language queries must respect written policies or rules. We present a hybrid symbolic approach that expresses policies in formal logic and at inference time exploits the representation power of language models for fact extraction to ground predicates, and an answer set solver for reasoning such that responses are interpretable, auditable, and as we show, accurate and robust under input perturbations.
