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.

arXiv:2606. 02837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate translation from Natural Language to First-Order Logic (NL-to-FOL) underpins neurosymbolic AI systems and Natural Language Inference (NLI), making the quality of NL-to-FOL benchmarks essential -- yet these datasets have never been rigorously audited.

RECAST is a new framework that generates datasets with far more constraints per example than existing benchmarks, aiming to push large language models (LLMs) to better follow complex instructions. The authors built RECAST-30K, a 30,000‑instance dataset covering 19 constraint types extracted from real prompt‑response pairs, and showed that fine‑tuning on it improves LLMs’ ability to handle complex tasks without harming general performance. RECAST also provides rule‑based and LLM‑based validators for automatic constraint verification, enabling reward‑based reinforcement learning to further enhance model performance on challenging tasks.

The paper introduces Defactualize-Steer-Rehydrate (DSR), a framework that combines a typed, salience-weighted knowledge graph with activation steering to enable style-controllable yet fact-preserving generation in large language models. DSR extracts salient entities, replaces them with placeholders before steering, and then rehydrates verified values after generation. Experiments on six LLaMA-family models show that DSR improves verified-entity recovery compared to steering alone while maintaining effective style control.

RuleWeaver is a benchmark construction framework designed to evaluate large language models’ ability to reason over complex, rule‑centered scenarios. It begins with corpus‑derived IF‑THEN meta rules, expands them into more intricate rules, and composes these into scenario‑based QA instances. The benchmark assesses not only final answer correctness but also process‑level metrics such as rubric‑based answer quality, rule recall, and rule precision, revealing that current LLMs achieve only about 50% of the maximum rubric score on these tasks.

QVAC Genesis III is a 191.43 B‑token synthetic STEM corpus covering 19 domains and multiple difficulty levels, created through a dual generation strategy that uses a weak edge‑scale student model to generate corrective explanations and contrastive reasoning. The authors evaluate the corpus with an LLM‑as‑a‑parser protocol and demonstrate that 1.7 B‑parameter models trained on QVAC Genesis III outperform those trained on Cosmopedia‑v2 and the Cosmo‑1B model on ARC, GPQA Diamond, and MMLU STEM benchmarks, achieving up to +28.57% improvement on ARC‑E and a 99.45% valid answer rate.
