arXiv:2606. 19264v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: The knowledge encoded in large language models (LLMs) can serve as a substrate for structured reasoning over variables describing a complex world, but accessing this knowledge in a probabilistically coherent manner poses a difficult inference problem.

The paper investigates how Large Language Models can be used to approximate domain expert priors for Bayesian Networks by extracting probabilistic knowledge about real‑world events. Experiments on eighty publicly available networks across domains such as healthcare and finance show that LLM‑derived conditional probabilities outperform random, uniform, and next‑token baselines. The authors also demonstrate that these LLM‑generated priors can refine data‑driven distributions, especially when data is scarce, and provide the first comprehensive baseline for evaluating LLM performance in probabilistic knowledge extraction.

The paper introduces the Structure-Internalized Rule Language Model (SIRLM) to improve Knowledge Graph Reasoning (KGR) by addressing the mismatch between KG structural context and Large Language Model (LLM) parametric knowledge. SIRLM centers on a Structure-Internalized Rule Generator (SIRG) that uses in-context learning, a structural relation memory, a KG tokenizer, and a neuro-symbolic reasoner to generate structural rules and provide faithful rule-execution feedback. Experiments on 36 datasets against 17 state‑of‑the‑art KGR methods show that SIRLM achieves significant performance gains.

The paper introduces GUT, a method that uses directed acyclic graphs to represent all possible reasoning branches of Large Language Models (LLMs). It comprises two modules: GUT-Q, which quantifies reasoning uncertainty by approximating graph complexity, and GUT-O, which reduces uncertainty through reinforcement learning that rewards lower uncertainty. Experiments on four LLMs across five datasets demonstrate GUT’s effectiveness in measuring and mitigating reasoning uncertainty.
