Ontology-Mediated Neurosymbolic Constraint Acquisition from Multiple Stakeholders

Read the original on arXiv AI →

The paper introduces an architecture that bridges the gap between neural constraint sources and symbolic consumers by employing an OWL configuration ontology. It combines soft stakeholder preferences elicited by LLM assistants with hard hardware specifications, using description logic to detect unsatisfiability and produce symbolic explanations for interactive renegotiation. Remaining conflicts are addressed downstream through priority-based relaxation, demonstrated on a microgrid use case and positioned as broadly applicable to multi‑stakeholder domains.

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.
