Identifying Implicit Premises for Logical Reconstruction of Argument Graphs
The paper tackles the challenge of reconstructing argument graphs from natural language by addressing enthymemes—arguments with implicit premises. It proposes a neuro‑symbolic pipeline that employs large language models to generate intermediate implicit premises, translates them into logical formulas, and combines them with explicit premises and claims to determine entailment, contradiction, or neutrality. The method is evaluated on the Microtext Argumentative Corpus.

Pairwise Logical Selection of Enthymeme Completions under Semantic-Link Uncertainty
The paper presents a neuro‑symbolic approach for selecting the correct omitted component in enthymemes, extending prior work from missing‑premise to missing‑claim selection. It replaces binary entailment with logical‑resistance scores and introduces the Possible‑World Atom‑Link Formalization (PWAL), which marginalizes over alternative semantic‑link configurations while keeping translated formulae fixed. Experiments on five tasks show that PWAL improves strict accuracy by up to 30.86 percentage points and reduces tie rates significantly, while also providing a transparent trace of each comparison.

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.
