Neuro-symbolic AI for Industrial Configuration

The paper "Neuro-symbolic AI for Industrial Configuration" discusses how Large Language Models (LLMs) fall short for industrial product configuration due to their probabilistic nature, which conflicts with the need for syntactically valid, semantically consistent outputs that align with extensive feature and rule knowledge bases. It proposes Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI as a promising solution, outlining three integration strategies—hybrid inference, hybrid fine‑tuning, and hybrid training—and presents a taxonomy of these approaches. The authors describe their efforts to implement a NeSy-based configuration copilot, derive practical design choices for trustworthy AI deployment in engineering settings, and highlight key research challenges, especially scaling NeSy methods from academic prototypes to full‑scale industrial configurators.

Context operations to architecture modelling output from large language models and evaluation criteria for their use in systems engineering design

The paper presents a framework of formal operations for assembling context in large language model (LLM)-based engineering design, involving modular context units such as policy prompts, reference units with persistence, and user questions with prompt vectoring. It also introduces a formal method for evaluating modelling-as-code LLM outputs, assessing compliance to intent from LLM answers and the support LLMs provide for systems architecture modelling.

Building Expressive and Tractable Probabilistic Generative Models: A Review

The article surveys recent progress in tractable probabilistic generative modeling, with a focus on Probabilistic Circuits (PCs). It offers a unified view of the trade‑offs between expressivity and tractability, outlining design principles, algorithmic extensions, and a taxonomy of the field. The review also covers deep and hybrid PCs that integrate ideas from deep neural models, and highlights challenges and open questions for future research.

With a Thermomix You Lose the Ability to Cook: A Kitchen Machine Analogy for Applications of Generative AI in Education

The paper titled "With a Thermomix You Lose the Ability to Cook: A Kitchen Machine Analogy for Applications of Generative AI in Education" uses the Thermomix kitchen appliance as an analogy to explore how generative AI tools like ChatGPT are adopted in education. By mapping Thermomix use cases onto learning scenarios and situating them within the ICAP and SAMR frameworks, the authors illustrate how different modes of tool use can either support or undermine meaningful engagement and learning. The study emphasizes that the key issue is not merely whether learners use AI, but how such use shapes their learning processes, offering a conceptual lens for researchers and practitioners to critically examine and guide AI integration in education.
