A new research paper investigates the robustness of Vision-Language Models (VLMs) under distribution shifts, particularly in visual deductive reasoning tasks. The study found that standard VLMs, while accurate on in-distribution data, struggle to generalize when the perceptual input distribution changes. To address this, the researchers propose VLC, a neuro-symbolic method that combines VLM-based concept recognition with circuit-based symbolic reasoning, demonstrating improved out-of-distribution accuracy.
