The paper introduces a flexible symbolic framework that efficiently computes logical explanations for deep neural networks by parameterizing explanations with internal neuron activations and leveraging general-purpose logical engines like SMT solvers. Unlike previous methods that rely on specialized verifiers or are limited to individual input features, this approach is not restricted in shape and can scale to deep architectures. Experiments on image recognition and medical benchmarks demonstrate improved computational efficiency and the ability to explain networks that were previously intractable for logic-based methods.

The paper introduces a Neuro‑Symbolic framework that integrates a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) for automatic induction of First‑Order Logic (FOL) rules with a Dynamic Logic Tensor Network (D‑LTN) for differentiable rule verification. In a closed iterative loop, the VLM proposes candidate rules (Think), the D‑LTN verifies them against visual embeddings (Verify), and failures guide the VLM to refine its hypotheses (Revise). Evaluated on the ViSudo‑PC benchmark across four visual domains, the system successfully induces Sudoku constraint rules from only three training examples and achieves AUC scores that match or surpass prior methods such as NeuPSL and LTN.

The paper introduces a synthetic ground‑truth framework for evaluating explainable AI (XAI) methods, addressing the lack of reliable evaluation procedures. By using controlled interventions to create datasets where the importance of input components is known, the framework generates ground‑truth explanations that align with the model’s actual decision process. The authors apply this approach to binary images, tabular data, and time series, and find that nine popular XAI methods exhibit significant limitations, underscoring the need for intervention‑based benchmarks.
