The paper identifies a new failure mode in neurosymbolic systems called Verdict‑Preserving‑Unfaithfulness (VPU), where incorrect formal encodings can still pass solver checks. It introduces Generative Verification (GenV), a method that uses a language model to produce a continuous reference‑equivalence score without relying on explicit localization. Experiments show GenV+HN achieves high AUROC, generalizes to unseen translators, and improves downstream agent performance by 11.3 points.

The paper introduces a neuro‑symbolic framework for scientific reasoning that separates symbolic validity and semantic groundedness. A deterministic symbolic verifier acts as a hard filter to guarantee syntactic and arithmetic correctness, while a Process Reward Model (PRM) is trained on verifier‑accepted steps to assess contextual grounding. The authors propose Counterfactual Symbolic Perturbation (CSP) to generate hard negative examples that pass the verifier but are logically flawed, enabling efficient PRM training and a verifier‑first constrained search at inference.
