The paper introduces Structured Four-Stage Legal Translation (S4L→Prolog), a reasoning-guided framework that converts raw traffic rules into Prolog logic by performing semantic role extraction, scene completion, logical mapping, and rule generation in a single prompt. Compared to baseline approaches (NL→Prolog and LE→Prolog), S4L achieves higher accuracy—formalizing 75 % of twenty real-world traffic rules versus 60 % and 55 % for the baselines. Qualitative analysis shows S4L better captures implicit causal relations, deontic modality, and exception structures.
arXiv:2606. 16118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) achieve strong performance on reasoning tasks, but whether this reflects faithful logical inference or heuristic approximation remains unclear.
arXiv:2606. 14935v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Frontier reasoning-tuned language models still fail on deductive tasks at depth, and the cost of improved performance through extended internal reasoning scales poorly.
arXiv:2607. 21412v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at natural language understanding and generation but remain unreliable for multi-step logical reasoning, especially in safety-critical or compliance-sensitive domains.
Large Language Models (LLMs) excel at natural language understanding and generation but remain unreliable for multi-step logical reasoning, especially in safety-critical or compliance-sensitive domains. Recent neuro-symbolic approaches address this gap by coupling neural models with external symbolic engines, yet most integrations are bespoke and lack a standardized interface for tool-augmented agents.
LEGO is a dual‑module framework that combines a Legal Expert GraphRAG system with an expert Chain‑of‑Thought approach to enhance complex legal reasoning. The GraphRAG component uses an expert‑annotated civil code graph and a greedy normative‑coverage retrieval algorithm to extract relevant provision subgraphs, while the Chain‑of‑Thought module structures retrieved provisions and case facts into a Provision‑Fact‑Conclusion reasoning flow. Using a Qwen3‑8B backbone, LEGO achieves 40.53% exact‑match accuracy on LawExamQA_Civil, surpassing baseline RAG and CoT models and matching larger models on multi‑hop and open‑ended benchmarks, with ablation studies confirming the complementary benefits of both modules.
