Relational Neurosymbolic Markov Models

AAAI 2025technical

Sequential problems are ubiquitous in AI, such as in reinforcement learning or natural language processing. State-of-the-art deep sequential models, like transformers, excel in these settings but fail to guarantee the satisfaction of constraints necessary for trustworthy deployment. In contrast, neu…

A Fast Convoluted Story: Scaling Probabilistic Inference for Integer Arithmetics

NeurIPS 2024poster

As illustrated by the success of integer linear programming, linear integer arithmetics is a powerful tool for modelling combinatorial problems. Furthermore, the probabilistic extension of linear programming has been used to formulate problems in neurosymbolic AI. However, two key problems persist t…

Differentiable Sampling of Categorical Distributions Using the CatLog-Derivative Trick

NeurIPS 2023poster

Categorical random variables can faithfully represent the discrete and uncertain aspects of data as part of a discrete latent variable model. Learning in such models necessitates taking gradients with respect to the parameters of the categorical probability distributions, which is often intractable…

Neural probabilistic logic programming in discrete-continuous domains

UAI 2023poster

Neural-symbolic AI (NeSy) allows neural networks to exploit symbolic background knowledge in the form of logic. It has been shown to aid learning in the limited data regime and to facilitate inference on out-of-distribution data. Probabilistic NeSy focuses on integrating neural networks with both lo…
