Provenance-Enhanced Statements in Knowledge Graphs

arXiv:2606. 15246v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Provenance-enhanced statements of the form "according to $X$, $\varphi$" are pervasive in contemporary knowledge graphs, especially in domains where graph content primarily represents claims, interpretations, and hypotheses (\emph{capta}) rather than observer-independent facts (\emph{data}).

Evidential-Based Higher-Order Set Argumentation Framework

The paper introduces the Evidential-Based Higher-Order Set Argumentation Framework (EHSAF), a unified formalism that extends Dung’s abstract argumentation by incorporating evidential support, higher-order relations, and collective interactions. Two complete semantics are defined: an adjacent complete labelling semantics allowing multiple truth values for arguments in support cycles, and an extension-based complete semantics that accepts only well‑founded support chains. The authors provide a propositional encoding in three‑valued Łukasiewicz logic and extend it to continuous fuzzy logics, proving key properties and showing equivalence under support‑acyclicity.

Standpoint Logics with Defeasible Beliefs

arXiv:2606. 08503v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In this paper, we integrate the defeasible logic of Kraus, Lehmann and Magidor (KLM) with the standpoint logic framework of G\'omez \'Alvarez and Rudolph.

Do Language Models Follow Occam's Razor? An Evaluation of Parsimony in Inductive and Abductive Reasoning

The paper investigates whether large language models (LLMs) follow Occam's Razor when performing inductive and abductive reasoning. It introduces a synthetic framework for generating questions that require both types of reasoning and a new automated metric to evaluate the simplicity and correctness of generated hypotheses. Experiments show that while LLMs can handle simple scenarios, they struggle with complex world models and producing high‑quality, simplest hypotheses, even when using advanced reasoning techniques.

AtomEval: Validity-Aware Atomic Evaluation of Adversarial Claim Rewriting in Fact Verification

arXiv:2604. 07967v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Large language models (LLMs) can rewrite refuted claims to evade evidence-based fact verifiers, but conventional attack success rate (ASR) can be inflated when rewrites change, weaken, or correct the false proposition they are supposed to preserve.
