Pairwise Logical Selection of Enthymeme Completions under Semantic-Link Uncertainty

The paper presents a neuro‑symbolic approach for selecting the correct omitted component in enthymemes, extending prior work from missing‑premise to missing‑claim selection. It replaces binary entailment with logical‑resistance scores and introduces the Possible‑World Atom‑Link Formalization (PWAL), which marginalizes over alternative semantic‑link configurations while keeping translated formulae fixed. Experiments on five tasks show that PWAL improves strict accuracy by up to 30.86 percentage points and reduces tie rates significantly, while also providing a transparent trace of each comparison.

Fixing FOLIO and MALLS: Verified Annotations and an LLM-assisted Framework to Focus Human Relabeling

arXiv:2606. 02837v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Accurate translation from Natural Language to First-Order Logic (NL-to-FOL) underpins neurosymbolic AI systems and Natural Language Inference (NLI), making the quality of NL-to-FOL benchmarks essential -- yet these datasets have never been rigorously audited.

Can We Do Interpretable NLI with Graphs Based on Atomic Propositions?

The paper investigates whether natural language inference (NLI) can be performed using only interpretable, graph-based representations of evidence. It introduces a pipeline that decomposes sentences into atomic propositions, maps them to ConceptNet triples, and feeds three graphs—premise, hypothesis, and a retrieved ConceptNet subgraph—into a fine‑tuned 0.8‑billion‑parameter language model. On the SNLI dataset the graph‑only model reaches 89.7% accuracy, close to a text‑based baseline, while on ANLI it matches RoBERTa‑large on rounds R2 and R3 but lags on R1, illustrating a trade‑off between interpretability and performance.
