Neural Structural Reasoner: A Brain-inspired Architecture for Reasoning over Structured Knowledge

Read the original on arXiv AI →

Neural Structural Reasoner (NSR) is a brain-inspired neural network that preserves relational structure directly in the connectivity and dynamics of coupled neuronal populations. It incorporates multi-layered architecture, stable entity representations, and path integration to perform link prediction by parallelizing over candidate relational structures and using confidence-weighted scores. NSR achieves competitive accuracy on knowledge-graph benchmarks, trains faster than several neural baselines, and offers native interpretability by tracking human-readable neuron activations and extracting latent relational hierarchies and compositional rules.

Structure-Internalized Rule Language Model for Faithful Knowledge Graph Reasoning

The paper introduces the Structure-Internalized Rule Language Model (SIRLM) to improve Knowledge Graph Reasoning (KGR) by addressing the mismatch between KG structural context and Large Language Model (LLM) parametric knowledge. SIRLM centers on a Structure-Internalized Rule Generator (SIRG) that uses in-context learning, a structural relation memory, a KG tokenizer, and a neuro-symbolic reasoner to generate structural rules and provide faithful rule-execution feedback. Experiments on 36 datasets against 17 state‑of‑the‑art KGR methods show that SIRLM achieves significant performance gains.

Neural-Symbolic Reasoning over Knowledge Graphs: A Survey from a Query Perspective

The article surveys neural-symbolic reasoning over knowledge graphs from a query perspective, highlighting the limitations of traditional symbolic methods when dealing with incomplete or noisy data. It discusses how the fusion of deep learning and symbolic reasoning—termed Neural Symbolic AI—offers interpretable and versatile solutions, and examines the role of large language models in advancing knowledge graph inference. The survey provides a comprehensive review of query types, classification of neural-symbolic approaches, and future directions for integrating LLMs with knowledge graph reasoning.

PEARL: Path-Entity Aligned Relational Learning with Contextual Subgraphs for Inductive Knowledge Graph Completion

PEARL is a new framework for inductive knowledge graph completion that treats relational paths as context-conditioned reasoning signals. It builds a query‑specific contextual subgraph from the query entities’ neighborhoods and uses a large language model‑guided retriever to select semantically relevant paths. By constructing a bipartite interaction graph over paths, contextual entities, and a global subgraph representation, and applying a dual‑view contrastive objective, PEARL adapts path embeddings to local and global structural evidence, achieving the best average Hits@10 on WN18RR, FB15k‑237, and NELL‑995.
