A homotopy-type-theoretic generalization of neurosymbolic inference
A new paper proposes a theoretical framework that generalizes neurosymbolic (NeSy) inference systems by incorporating principles from homotopy type theory. This approach aims to preserve information about symmetries and proof structures that are typically lost in traditional set-based NeSy systems. The authors demonstrate that this framework can lead to more efficient computation of concept posteriors, outperforming ensemble methods on MNIST reasoning-shortcut benchmarks while maintaining label accuracy.
