SoftReason: A Fully Differentiable Neuro-Soft-Symbolic Deductive Reasoning Architecture over High-Dimensional Perceptual Data

arXiv:2607. 20402v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In many reasoning problems, the premises are not observed as discrete symbols, but must be inferred from high-dimensional inputs.

Structure-Internalized Rule Language Model for Faithful Knowledge Graph Reasoning

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.

VeriGraph: Towards Verifiable Data-Analytic Agents

arXiv:2606. 16603v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: LLM-based agents have demonstrated strong capabilities in data-intensive analytical tasks, yet their outputs are rarely verifiable: a reliance on linear text trajectories makes their reasoning difficult to audit.

CURV: Enhancing Chart Understanding Through Curriculum Visual Grounded Reasoning

arXiv:2608. 02833v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Chart question answering (CQA) requires multimodal large language models (MLLMs) to integrate visual comprehension with logical reasoning, yet current models struggle with accurate visual grounding and coherent reasoning chains.

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.
