Think-Verify-Revise: Neuro-Symbolic Visual Reasoning with Vision-Language Models and Dynamic Logic Tensor Networks

Read the original on arXiv Computer Vision →

The paper introduces a Neuro‑Symbolic framework that integrates a Vision‑Language Model (VLM) for automatic induction of First‑Order Logic (FOL) rules with a Dynamic Logic Tensor Network (D‑LTN) for differentiable rule verification. In a closed iterative loop, the VLM proposes candidate rules (Think), the D‑LTN verifies them against visual embeddings (Verify), and failures guide the VLM to refine its hypotheses (Revise). Evaluated on the ViSudo‑PC benchmark across four visual domains, the system successfully induces Sudoku constraint rules from only three training examples and achieves AUC scores that match or surpass prior methods such as NeuPSL and LTN.

VBVR-Pro: A Scalable and Verifiable Suite for Native Visual Reasoning

VBVR-Pro is a closed‑loop testbed that enables native visual reasoning through generation, offering 300 procedurally generated tasks that scale training and allow strong transfer to external benchmarks. It supplies verifiable reward scorers based on deterministic, task‑specific rules, outperforming VLM‑as‑a‑judge approaches and providing reliable signals for reinforcement learning. The suite also facilitates controlled modality studies, revealing that video generation excels at persistent spatiotemporal tracking while interleaved generation offers a compute‑efficient alternative, and highlights the importance of vision‑native trajectories for reasoning.

Explain Before You Answer: A Survey on Compositional Visual Reasoning

arXiv:2508. 17298v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Compositional visual reasoning has emerged as a key research frontier in multimodal AI, aiming to endow machines with the human-like ability to decompose visual scenes, ground intermediate concepts, and perform multi-step logical inference.
