Not What You Meant: Can LLMs Follow a Specified Negation Semantics?

The paper investigates how large language models (LLMs) interpret negation across different logical semantics—open‑world vs. closed‑world, two‑ vs. three‑valued, and credulous vs. skeptical reasoning. Using the newly introduced NAFBench, a procedural generator that creates solver‑certified logic programs and their natural‑language verbalizations, the authors evaluate LLMs on four semantic viewpoints (SLDNF, well‑founded semantics, and stable‑model semantics). Results show a persistent gap: even the strongest models achieve only 59–74% accuracy, with many models sensitive to rule ordering and prone to overcommitment on undefined cases, though some frontier models reach near‑perfect performance on a fixed‑complexity set. "whyItMatters":"The study highlights that current LLMs struggle to reliably follow explicitly specified negation semantics, underscoring a limitation in their logical reasoning capabilities."

sLTN: Structural Logic Tensor Networks

arXiv:2608. 11136v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Logic Tensor Networks (LTN) provide a neurosymbolic framework in which first-order logic is interpreted through tensor operations, enabling logical constraints to be integrated with differentiable learning.

Standpoint Logics with Defeasible Beliefs

arXiv:2606. 08503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we integrate the defeasible logic of Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor (KLM) with the standpoint logic framework of G\'omez \'Alvarez and Rudolph.
