Probabilistic Extension of Neuro-Symbolic AGI Robots based on Belnap's Typed Intensional FOL

arXiv:2607. 13073v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Neuro-symbolic AI based on $IFOL_B$ is a way to combine neural learning and symbolic reasoning to overcome limitations of purely neural systems (like lack of interpretability and logical structure) with formal logical machinery for self-reference.

Neuro-Symbolic Drive: Rule-Grounded Faithful Reasoning for Driving VLAs

arXiv:2606. 23938v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Driving VLA models incorporating Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning are attractive because they leverage pretrained VLM representations and expose intermediate decisions in natural language, yet current rationales often lack the step-by-step decision semantics needed to keep the rationale causally connected to the planned motion.

Neuro-symbolic learning over OWL 2 DL via consequence-based compilation to differentiable circuits

Baobab compiles an OWL 2 DL (ΣROIQ) ontology with a finite ABox into a Sentential Decision Diagram (SDD), saturating a propositional core and instantiating remaining DL features over the active domain. The resulting evidence‑conditioned weighted model count trains a perception network to recognize real images under partial ABox supervision, enabling a CNN to recover latent ontology concepts that an independent perception would miss. When supervision allows multiple ontology‑consistent completions, Baobab’s mixture indexed by query justifications represents the calibrated posterior, achieving Bayes‑optimal performance on a real‑image MNIST task where single‑WMC and learned mixtures fail, thereby characterizing and mitigating reasoning shortcuts in a non‑Horn description logic.

Novelty Adaptation Through Hybrid Large Language Model (LLM)-Symbolic Planning and LLM-guided Reinforcement Learning

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic architecture that combines symbolic planning, reinforcement learning, and a large language model (LLM) to address novelties in dynamic open‑world environments. The LLM is used to identify missing operators, generate symbolic plans, and write reward functions, enabling the reinforcement learning agent to learn control policies for newly identified operators. The proposed method outperforms state‑of‑the‑art approaches in both operator discovery and learning within continuous robotic domains.
