Neuron Activation-based Computation of Logical Explanations for Deep Neural Networks

The paper introduces a flexible symbolic framework that efficiently computes logical explanations for deep neural networks by parameterizing explanations with internal neuron activations and leveraging general-purpose logical engines like SMT solvers. Unlike previous methods that rely on specialized verifiers or are limited to individual input features, this approach is not restricted in shape and can scale to deep architectures. Experiments on image recognition and medical benchmarks demonstrate improved computational efficiency and the ability to explain networks that were previously intractable for logic-based methods.

Euclid-Omni : A Unified Neuro-Symbolic Framework for Plane Geometry

Euclid-Omni is a unified neuro‑symbolic framework that integrates a formal geometry system with Large Language Models and Vision‑Language Models to solve both calculation and proving problems in Euclidean geometry up to Olympiad level. Its core component, Euclidea, automatically generates deductive reasoning steps and algebraic computations, while a data‑generation pipeline creates synthetic symbolic problems, diagrams, and natural‑language translations for training. Experiments show that VLMs trained on this synthetic data outperform on calculation tasks, and LLMs paired with Euclidea match state‑of‑the‑art proving systems using far less compute and data.

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.

OrthoReg: Orthogonal Regularization for Hybrid Symbolic-Neural Dynamical Systems

arXiv:2606. 19145v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Dynamical systems are fundamental to modeling the natural world, yet modeling them involves a persistent trade-off: manually prescribed mechanistic models are interpretable by design but often overly simplistic and misspecified; in contrast, flexible data-driven neural methods lack physical insight.
