Ceci n'est pas une pipe: AI systems as semantic abstractions

arXiv:2607. 09489v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: An AI system's output is not the fact or world state it appears to describe, but rather an engineered representation.

A Neurosymbolic Approach to Natural Language Formalization and Verification

arXiv:2511. 09008v2 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large Language Models perform well at natural language interpretation and reasoning, but their lack of formal correctness guarantees limits their adoption in regulated industries like finance and health-care that operate under strict policies.

Never the Number: Structural Abstention for AI Systems Whose Answers Are Consumed as Fact

arXiv:2608. 13926v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language models have made natural language interfaces to databases (NLIDB) newly credible, but LLM text-to-SQL systems fail in a way that matters for deployment: a hallucinated column or a mis-aggregated total yields a fluent wrong answer, indistinguishable at the point of use from a right one.

Externalizing Research Synthesis and Validation in AI Scientists through a Research Harness

arXiv:2606. 18874v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI systems can increasingly automate scientific workflows, but the reasoning that links prior evidence, generated ideas, experiments and final claims often remains implicit inside model inference.
