DeepLog is an operational neurosymbolic framework that unifies logic and deep learning within standard PyTorch workflows. While existing neurosymbolic systems focus on a particular paradigm and semantics, DeepLog serves as a universal backend that can emulate many systems in the neurosymbolic alphab
Boolean circuits in d-DNNF (determinstic Decomposable Negation Normal Form) enable tractable probabilistic inference, motivating research into compilers that transform arbitrary Boolean circuit into this form. However, d-DNNF compilers commonly require the input to be in conjunctive normal form (CNF
A popular approach to neurosymbolic AI involves mapping logic formulas to arithmetic circuits (computation graphs consisting of sums and products) and passing the outputs of a neural network through these circuits. This approach enforces symbolic constraints onto a neural network in a principled and…
In human-AI interaction, effective communication relies on aligning the AI agent’s model with the human user’s mental model -- a process known as model reconciliation. However, existing model reconciliation approaches predominantly assume deterministic models, overlooking the fact that human knowled…
Decision making under uncertainty in dynamic environments is a fundamental AI problem in which agents need to determine which decisions (or actions) to make at each time step to maximise their expected utility. Dynamic decision networks (DDNs) are an extension of dynamic Bayesian networks with decis…
The limitations of purely neural learning have sparked an interest in probabilistic neurosymbolic models, which combine neural networks with probabilistic logical reasoning. As these neurosymbolic models are trained with gradient descent, we study the complexity of differentiating probabilistic reas…
An issue that has so far received only limited attention in probabilistic logic programming (PLP) is the modelling of so-called epistemic uncertainty, the uncertainty about the model itself. Accurately quantifying this model uncertainty is paramount to robust inference, learning and ultimately decis…
Given a propositional formula ψ, the model counting problem, also referred to as #SAT, seeks to compute the number of satisfying assignments (or models) of ψ. Modern search-based model counting algorithms are built on conflict-driven clause learning, combined with the caching of certain subformulas…
State-of-the-art probabilistic inference algorithms, such as variable elimination and search-based approaches, rely heavily on the order in which variables are marginalized. Finding the optimal ordering is an NP-complete problem. This computational hardness has led to heuristics to find adequate v…
